"The show is called Driftwood Castle 'cause that's sort of what we're building. Yesterday we drove my pickup to the coast and loaded it up with driftwood, logs and big rocks. When Bwana and I,'Scrappers,' talked about designing the gallery space we both imagined a beach fort. Call it dumb or whatever, it just seems like the right thing to do."

I wouldn't call it dumb at all, Scrappers. In fact, I, "PORT," have been contemplating building my own little fort, or better yet, bunker, ever since I read your press release. I think you've hit the nail on the head, zeitgeist-wise.

Driftwood Castle, an exhibition/night of thematic revelry, will benefit Habitat for Humanity, serve as homebase for a 6pm scavenger hunt, and feature artwork by Bwana Spoons, Scrappers, Dawn Riddle, Ryan J. Smith, Martin Ontiveros, APAK, Le Merde, Souther Salazar, Jacob Macgraw, and Luke Ramsey, as well as David Wien, whose fantastical drawings are always well worth checking out.

Lawrence Shlim at Newspace

This month, Newspace Center for Photography presents Everyday Unusual, an exhibition of black and white documentary photography by Lawrence Shlim and Bruce Polonsky. In pursuit of the decisive moment, Shlim has traveled the world and Polonsky has followed The Dead. Both artists use the camera in a manner that indicates a shared fascination with semiotic interpolations in landscape.
Opening Reception • 7 to 10pm • Nov.3-26
