Romanowski: May 8: Orchestrated Oddities Exhibit
FIFTY24SF Gallery
Thurs., May 8
7:30 PM
252 Fillmore St.
Fifty24SF Gallery is pleased to present Orchestrated Oddities, a group show featuring the work of three Bay Area artists: Brian Barneclo, Romanowski, and Sean Somers. Each possess disparate styles yet cite music as one of the uniting influences that threads their individual work together. Barneclo expores sculpture for this show and will present those pieces alongside his signature paintings. Romanowski takes discarded objects and turns them into things of beauty with his ever-evolving installations. Somers examines the juxtaposition of nature and music through paintings and installation where he will create other-worldly, organic forms out of music-related materials.
Romanowski has made his name in the art and music worlds as artist, co-…

5/3: PIXNIT's new Boston Exhibit
Judi Rotenberg Gallery LLC
May 3rd- June 1st 2008
Opening May 3rd, 5pm- 7pm
130 Newbury St.
Boston, MA USA 02116
PIXNIT Productions is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition, "Hello my name is PIXNIT" at Judi Rotenberg Gallery in Boston. This site-specific installation is on view May 3rd- June 1st.
Embracing the contradictions in our contemporary celebration of Graffiti and Street Art, PIXNIT works synergistically as a street artist who illegally stencils work in public places, and as a gallery artist who exhibits commissioned work in commercial and institutional spaces. The name PIXNIT is derived from the Latin word pinxit, often included in the signature of paintings from the 1800’s, meaning she/he painted this work. For this artist, the identity PIXNIT functions as…
Chris Stain, Josh MacPhee: Threat of Chance Exhibit
The threat of chance art exposition is based on the temptation of possibility. The possibility of change in the face of stagnation, the possibility of hope in desperate times, the possibility of alternative thought and lifestyle in the doldrums of complacency.
For this installation a railroad shanty town has been recreated to further emphasis the struggle between hope and despair. Amidst a gallery filled of shacks made with found material and walls decorated with freight trains and decaying industry you will find photographs by boxcar culture enthusiast the Polaroid Kidd. Proletarian signs, flags, prints, and banners from author/activist Josh Macphee. Interactive sculptures, drawings, paintings and stencils, from graffiti artist Billy Mode, and the sociological display of hand cut stencils by Chris Stain. The Threat of Chance art exposition is pure socialist propaganda…
Mini Graff Solo Exhibit
Just a quick note to say hi & let you know I have a solo exhibition happening at The Art Traders.
It's called Welcome to my Neighbourhood.
'Inspired by the local characters in her neighbuorhood – Darlinghurst – Wendy Murray introduces her vision of the people and places which define her ‘hood, with a freshness and sweetness, not often associated with grunge, grime and anonymity of the inner city' - Fiona McIntosh, The Art Traders
The show includes all original artwork, including silkscreen works and delicate cast-plaster compositions.
The show runs until 26 April 2008 - still plenty of time to check it out!
Over the past few months I have completed several independent art projects, commissions and workshops, including a stencil art workshop at the MCA.
I have also collaborated with many folks including Daisy Linhares of LA…
