Meaghan Smith, a local girl on Sire records.

 

I really like her, knew the family somewhat in the 90s, when she was

like 5, and am excited about her career.

Last week, all around town these billboards kept showing up with typical band pictures. The same five indie dudes against a brick wall or on a staircase feigning indifference and boredom. No explanation was given. I first through it was a clothing company ad where a logo would appear in a week or so. .

 

But no. This was an installation called 'The Band' by Kelly Mark.

No band actually exists, just the promotion. They had Posters, T-shits, Buttons, Postcards, Hats, Tote Bags, and a mailing list but no music. Very post-post-something and I liked it.

 

He also creates these ironic neon signs, which were hanging in all the Starbucks windows, which was also post-post something.

ha!

i loved the description and intent behind "hold that thought"

 

last week i saw an exhibit at the oakland airport that was a collection of advertisements culled from lifestyle magazines marketed to black americans between the 70's and 90's. the artist had removed all text and logos from the ad to show just what the ads were selling.

(i just did a search to see if i could find any pix, or names involved in the exhibit {artist as collector} and found two women who'd seen the exhibit, but didn't photograph this ad, alas.)

what first lured me over to the exhibit was a display of about 30 antique blenders. crazy industrial design!

 

i'll see if i can rouse kidsmoke for this show!
