master and man

Photobucket
so the opening

Photobucket
coke and pizza

Photobucket
smiles all around

Photobucket
not this guy tho!
he is givin nothin away

Photobucket
this looks like in typical stupid fashion i took no photos of the opening proper
hopefully royal t ladies took some good ones?
i remember posing with sue for a cute one….

Photobucket
i mean a super “cool” one

Photobucket
ive always wanted to do a face show where the first thing u see is scrolling ben jones facemaker

Photobucket
i never dreamed i would get to put this assume vivid astro focus up
look how amazing this looks! damn. so good

Photobucket
it may be better here than in moscow even
we will see about that in two days!

Photobucket
some ben jones infinite alfe

Photobucket
there were so many awesome pieces in the show

Photobucket
do you guys know jacob julian zilhkowski i spelled that wrong?
do you know stefan bondell?

Photobucket
do you know jane moseley

Photobucket
nate

Photobucket
and patrick and avery?
is it weird that these two pieces looked so good together

Photobucket
i put this awesome Trenton Doyle Hancock next to nick’s because i thought he looked like a fat white southerner
there is so much more show that i inexplicably have no install photos of!!!
i must once again implore you to wait for official installs from royal t

coming soon!

Photobucket
now i have that song “the kkk took my baby away” stuck in my head

Photobucket
what an avalanche of growth!

Photobucket
and then this!!!

Photobucket
i really wanted to post these photos that night after the artist preview but everyone should get chance to see in person before blog spoling

Photobucket
Rammellzee room amazing!
suzanne made this

Photobucket
this is the part i “curated”
essentially kunle made this awesome installation singlehandedly so this is really kunle’s area
the photos are great, greatist hits of early ones, so many fantastic photos

look! there is sue in her kenny hoodie! cute!!

Photobucket
now we are getting fun

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
this is all part of the “street market 2” area

Photobucket
i blame Barry Espo and Todd!

Photobucket
look how grinny jeffrey is

Photobucket
fuck this is sideways

Photobucket
everybody more than confirmed that this was the most epic thing in there

Photobucket
could it be otherwise?

Photobucket

Photobucket
sidearm!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
dashy

Photobucket
todd james work was fantastic there
he had a whole “modern art” room that was hilarious
and unfortunately impossible to photograph

Photobucket
what else?

Photobucket

Photobucket
swoon tent was pretty neato

Photobucket
chris johanson and rosson are neato!!

Photobucket
old basquiat haring vase awesome

Photobucket
the show had fantastic older works
old spray cans, real haring subway drawings, and

Photobucket
yay!
cosmic kenny!

Photobucket
art tar tar

Photobucket
kitty tartare!

Photobucket
this is my favourite
every single one is my favourite

Photobucket
there were a whole lotta men at the opening acting like boys

Photobucket
ah!
here is my attempt to photograph todd’s modern art room!

Photobucket
this is me leaving without having photographed even like 1/10th of the show!!!

Photobucket
im sorry im such a turd, it was crowded and i wanted hamburger

Photobucket
like ten food trucks out back free anythign on the menu!
that is awesome

so jeffrey killed it! yay for jeffrey!!! im so happy it was such a success; he really deserves it, and after all the weird LA losers griping about that shitty mural, that non-issue, so stupid

the show had such great energy, even if some of the art was poo, many parts of the show are just knock out! just incredible

and it had the real “deitch spirit” to it, which i didnt even realize i had missed so much until i felt it again there
i would call it “not being afraid to embarrass yourself” and “taking chances” and “positive vibes only please”

Photobucket
went to ryan trecartin’s house

Photobucket
and this is where my photoshop not working is going to suck because if i autoleveled this it would look cool

Photobucket
i don’t know if autolevels will do anything for nick’s outfit however

Photobucket
a very unique young man, this thing

Photobucket
hummus

Photobucket
jack and jorge

Photobucket
do i need to make another post?
does this make you think of boobs?

  1. Its nice to see some actual pics of the MOCA show and not just hear a lot of endless debate about it’s validity…Looks pretty good from what I can see…
