This week on the blog we discovered, the wonderful public library collection at the Brand Library & Art Center in Glendale, CA, and the lotus bed in Echo Park Lake. We shared photos of Oscar Tuazon’s Live Steam Shift Whistle on The Downs, Bristol, UK, Joe Bradley’s exhibition at Le Consortium, art group Gelitin’s cave art in Costa Rica, and Maria Eisl’s new book 207 Photograms. We announced X-TRA magazine’s open call for applications for their writer-in-residence program in Pasadena, their magazine launch in Berlin, and a little taste of the upcoming fall issue. And, we gave you a sneak peak of the latest install at The Velveteria: Museum of Velvet Paintings.

 

 

GELITIN IN A CAVE

This summer the infamous art collective Gelitin was invited by New York City based gallery Ramekin Crucible to be in an exhibition in a cave in the forests of Puerto Rico. Awesome.

From Gelitin’s website:

Gelitin got invited to Puerto Rico by Ramiken Crucible.
It’s the third time they were gathering artists in Puerto Rico to do a show in a cave in the forest.
The cave is amazing and full of bats and huge scorpion spiders and toads…
We had hundreds of helium filled balloons lit from inside floating in the main cave hall.
Light attracts insects, and bats love insects…
While filling the cave with our voices, the baloons , moving about like jellyfish are slowly changing from steady to blinking lights

together with Schuyler Maehl.
