Part one of Spacial Reconstruction at Found opens Saturday at noon and runs through Sunday at midnight.  Sarah Dougherty and co. have been living in the gallery for the past week, transforming the space to meet somewhere between a recreation of her Mexico City hotel room-turned-apartment and a colorful, mythical place leaking from Sarah’s head.

This 36 hour exhibition has a few scheduled events.

+ Sat. 10pm - Susie Simpson performs songs based her Mexico experience

+ Sat. 11pm and Sunday 2am - Screening of Mexico shorts and videos by Sarah Dougherty + co.

+ Sun. 8pm - Pinche Gringo performs — myspace.com/pinchegringoband

Otherwise, you could walk into a number of unplanned events, rituals, or exercises.

Join us tonight for a program of 3 engaging acts:

Voice on Tape
Zombelle
Cabinet of Natural Curiosities

7-9pm.  Free drinks and entry. Part of our ongoing series of free music showcasing local and touring young acts.

L’KEG in Echo Park celebrates the opening of ‘The Magical Rainbow Pony Show’ this Friday evening at 8pm.

Collaboration is in the air, as “LA and Bay Area artists will depart from a Lisa Frank aesthetic, forming an over the top, eclectic show with plenty to see.”

L’KEG is located at 1170 Glendale Blvd. Los Angles, Ca 90026.  [map]

Sadly, Chris and I can’t attend.  We’ve been busy in Berlin.  Catch up with the Joint Custody Project here.  Lots of recent photos + activity.

This Saturday, May 10 Peres Projects is opening a new show by Terrence Koh at their gallery in Chinatown.  Instead of sharing some images or the postcard, I would like to reproduce what is, perhaps, the most inspiring and engaging invitation I’ve ever received to anything, really.  Thanks to Chris for making me read through the end.

Though not officially public yet, Eastside/CoS royalty Beck and currently-finishing-their-sophomore-album Cold War Kids will be performing at this year’s Sunset Junction Street Fair.  This year, the Junction takes place on Saturday + Sunday, August 23-24.

That’s all we know as of yet, but we can guarantee on that Saturday evening you will be invited to hear some special guests in town to perform and play records as part of Found’s 2 year anniversary party.  Shhhh…….

Thanks to LAist for turning us on to this new mural, in the LACC area near us of Melrose-Heliotrope [home of the amazing creations of Scoops].  Read the post here.

We greet you this Monday with some images from Saturday morning’s happening. We have many more tricks/treats in store and will show you the video of our efforts when we’ve got a few more feathers in our caps. Until then, click here for the full photoset [explanation later].

Thanks to CRZA, Amy, Billy, Drew, Piper, Meranda, KC, and those whom we met.

A friend of mine and I were talking about Alan Kaprow recently.  I don’t recall the exact occassion, but there is some anniversary of one of his happenings or something akin.  I then brought the idea of starting some happenings with the Found people on Sunday.  We came up with several pretty wild ideas, but we wanted to start with one.  We’re going to hold it this coming Saturday morning [March 15] at the Farmer’s Market in Silver Lake [map].

If you want to partake in the improvised mania, please arrive at 9am and email me to confirm that you’re coming.  Bring a still camera or camera phone or both.  These are not just props; make sure they work & that you know how to use them.  Dress like you normally do to a Farmer’s Market.  Feel free to bring friends; just let me know how many to expect.

We’ll fill you in on the details on Saturday morning.  We should be done by 10:45-11 at the very latest.  Bring your sense of humor.
