Saturday night, I hit the David Wilkins opening I mentioned the other day. The show was great. The guy’s stuff was beautiful. Much of it were maquettes for larger works and process stuff. There are three bronze sculptures that I could only dream of owning. The show is up for a very limited time. I encourage you to check it out. In addition to the Wilkins show there is a permanent collection of trinkets and oddities created or collected by the owners of the space. Chandeliers made out of buttons and bottle caps, bizarre found objects (including what could only be described at Cock Rocks) and things that blur the definitions between the two...definitely a marvel.

The space, in and of itself is a piece of history and art. Having acted as a Grocery store and roller rink the building was built in the 30's and If you watch Reservoir Dogs....you may find the space familiar.

Next weekend, the gallery will be hosting the Ave. 50 Studio Fundraiser. Avenue 50 Studio focuses on artwork by Latino/Chicano, the donation is 20bucks. Check it out. Saturday August 5th at 7pm. Again the gallery is located at York and Ave. 50 in Highland Park.

Thanks to Scott and Johanna for being such gracious hosts.
