Recap: Never Mind The Dog At Innocnts

We had a great opening last Saturday (11/28) for Never Mind The Dog, a group exhibition curated by Jose Araujo. Inspired by conditions of rebellion, street themes, outsider markings, and other concepts of thought, much of the work in NMTD is socially reflective of the times we live yet holds nostalgic relevance through it's cultural awareness. Curated with a focus on shades of black, white, and grey, Jose and crew transformed the gallery space by airbrushing a brick wall on one side with buffed tags on the opposing wall. Similar scaled work from a solid crew of respected tattoo artists adorned the walls making the space visually stimulating upon entry. In the back corner Jose created a small tattoo shop installation complete with checkered floor, a VHS tv, and various tattoo ephemera strewn across the work desk. Later on in the night local synth metal band DiVola put a killer performance for gallery patrons. And to top it all off, the night was blessed with free beer and pizza compliments of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Delicious Pizza keeping everyone in proper form.

The following Sunday Jose setup in the gallery space offering $40 tattoos on a first come first serve basis while we grilled up some Asada and Pollo with some cold beers. Our friends at Badseed Printing parked out front and had a nice sidewalk sale with various items including vintage pornos, Beavis & Butthead magnets, Innocnts tees, custom beer coozys, and other favorable items for that certain someone in your life. It was a solid weekend overall to say the least.

The show was just a 2-day pop-up so if you missed it, you're outta luck. That said, we do have an exhibition pdf catalog with available for those interested. Contact us here for more details.

Kurt Cobain Intereview 1993

Beautiful candid interview with Kurt in 1993. The interviewer is pretty chill so I guess Kurt also kept it chill. This was very close to his death and his attitude might lead one to presume he kinda knew what the score was as it related to his fame and success. Hard to imagine he'd blow his brains out soon after this. Kinda makes you think what the full story surrounding his death might be. In any case, great interview worth checking if you dig seeing Kurt being Kurt.

Lyon Herron Photography

Malibu native and around stand up guy, Lyon Herron has been quietly taking some great images. We've known the guy for some time now but didn't quite realize the extent of his skills behind the lens until somewhat recently. He's got a killer website that's updated regularly with both RVCA and Insight as recent clients. Stoked for Lyon and what's to come.

Talking With The Gonz

The Gonz talks story about flicking things at teachers, being creative, handrails, and other random occurrences. 


 
 

We sat down with the man and mystery, Mark Gonzales, for what we can confidently say was 10 minutes well spent. Watch Gonz give his most candid interview yet as he chats with Evan Goodfellow while patting a cat. http://www.monsterchildren.com/

 
 
RECAP // KRIS CHAU SOLO EXHIBITION

Good times last week for Kris Chau's solo exhibition opening // GODS OF SUMMER // at Innocnts Gallery. Much appreciation to those that were able to make it out! Kris created a wonderful vibe by combining her triangle paintings with triangle mirrors in offset pattern to create a really cool spacial effect, furthering some of the celestial elements present in the work. Show runs till August 5th with the gallery open most days from 2pm to 6pm or by appointment. We also have a pdf catalog available for those interested. Message us here for that. Much appreciation to our dudes at House Beer for their support. And big shout out to the Twilight Trio for a great improvisational jazz performance!
