Mission Mission

If you’re an artist who’s been looking for the perfect gallery in which to show your stuff, now’s your perfect opportunity with the first juried exhibition over at Gallery Hijinks!  They’re looking for works from all over the world and for any medium, and there’ll be live performances from sound artists and lectures from local artists like Renee Gertler.  Plus, they’re having an auction at the end of the month for all unsold works starting at 50% of the price!

Check out all the details here!

I haven’t been to an art show in quite a while (I know, Philistine), but this stuff caught my eye enough to make me want to check it out tomorrow! I’m always a sucker for mesmerizing line formations and outdated textbooks (I found a Creationist Biology one from the 80s once…oh man), and these two interests will both be on display in fine fashion over at Gallery Hijinks this Saturday from 6-10pm.

Check out all the details here.

Take a quick peek at this gorgeous video following local artist Mark Warren Jacques as he makes his way through the chaos of the City on foot, bicycle, and skateboard.  Shot by Joe Lumbroso of Gallery Hijinks for Mark’s upcoming showing featuring a new direction of work incorporating form, figures and anatomy along with his existing spectrum of clean, fluid lines juxtaposed with bold geometric shapes.

Check out the opening this Saturday at Gallery Hijinks on Bryant at 21st!

It’s always a fun time when a new gallery opens in the neighborhood, and tonight promises to be no exception as Gallery Hijinks makes its debut on the Mission art scene.  The fun starts at 7pm tonight and features two different yet enticing exhibitions. 

Pictured above is the offering from the Free Life Center, a large scale freestanding installation crafted from salvaged building materials that can be modularly configured for a variety of purposes, kind of like that parklet on 22nd Street, but will probably just end up getting hotboxed.  Looks like it was pretty fun to put together, though!

For a more visceral experience, check out Jerking Off In Bunkbeds for a collection of photos that will leave you feeling dried up, empty and ready to molest life!  Anytime you get the chance to come away with a new book called Fingerbanging Amelia Earheart, you really just have to do it.

The gallery opening is from 7-10pm tonight, and musical performances will be happening on Saturday from 6-9pm at this exciting new space on 2309 Bryant at 21st Street.  Did I mention that the TCB Courier dudes are also involved in this project?  Seriously, bike messengers and art together at last, and unbeatable combination.  Check it out tonight!
