The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery is holding an open exhibition.  Deadline: July 8.  $20 entry-one piece per artist.  ‘Unfinished’ work is unacceptable.  The curator also has veto power, but I think this would be a fun zoo to join.  I’m going to try to submit some bizarre stuff.  You should, too.

Dailyserving, which has already profiled Wolfgang’s work, asked the Vienna-born artist to be the subject of its first interview. If you haven’t already checked out dailyserving, they provide 365 amazing international profiles per year.

In addition to the aforementioned UCLA happenings, the overall UCLA Department of Art is holding its Spring 2007 Graduate Open Studios this Friday, June 1 7-9pm.

The studios are in Culver City (which, coincidentally is holding its artwalk this weekend, too…oh, and holding an ‘after party’ with Giant Drag) —-

I went last year, and as much of an overall diehard Trojans fan as I can be, UCLA does two things consistently really well: Basketball & MFA studio arts. Found Friend painters Juliana Romano & Ben Britton (who are finishing their second year) will be exhibiting, as well as about 40 other artists. Lots of ambitious young artists. Don’t miss it.

Of course, I forgot this dude — Buff Monster —at Corey Helford on Friday.

Things have been hectic over here at the gallery recently.  Working on the Other Cheek.  Programming 08.  Etc.  We’ll post the gallery hours soon for this weekend, but here are some other noteworthy ‘art’ things transpiring this week.  Will post more once we get closer to the weekend.

I wanted to take the time, briefly, to explain why I find Wolfgang’s exhibit such a great landmark for the gallery and why the work itself should be seen in person.

In April 2006, when the concept of this gallery was still in the developmental stage with my partner and me, we came across Wolf’s work at USC’s open studios. He wasn’t there, but we were taken aback by ‘And the Winner is…’ and ‘Boys will be boys.’ Those were two of the pieces finished at that point. They were huge and startling. Without him there to explain, we had to make assumptions, obviously guessing the gender of the subjects with no clear answer.

Come visit us during this Memorial Day Weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm at Found Gallery to view Wolfgang Bauer’s ‘Spring Awakenings.’  We’ll be relaxing and people watching with a cool ice chest.  Drop in!

Matt Maust and bandmates of Cold War Kids will return this February for what is being described as a ‘co-op’ between Matt and his photographer friend Matt Wignall.  Hmmm.  We like collaboration here.  This should definitely be another banger.

Special musical guests to perform.

It’s going to be a great show.
