2. knock knock — group show curated by KRETS.

more photos at my love for you blog!

i was especially stoked for this show because it had photos from phil elverum, one of my favorite musicians (the microphones, mount eerie) who is also a super sick photographer.  yee!

richard colman and ryan travis christian at guerrero gallery was mindblowing.  maybe my single favorite show of the year.

colman built this enormous stage structure out of intricately handpainted panels.  it was outrageously huge and you could go stand on it, and then death cheetah performed a musical set on the stage.  nuts town.

also caught mark warren jacques at gallery hijinks !

we loved his free life center show earlier this year at needles and pens, and super dug his current show as well! the artist also has a great website showcasing his work here.
