WHAT a month!!!!! Event wrap ups...

This has been perhaps the busiest, and best month Art Duet has ever had. Well, one of them at least! It was a whirlwind and so much happened it's important to document before moving on!

Early in the month, we closed the magic that was the exhibit Indian Larry by Timothy White - it  was so powerful to be a part of celebrating Larry's legacy and we walked away with an entirely different perspective about what a show can be!!  Read about it here in the LA Weekly, an article on page 44 of Bl!sss Mag (written by Jen)  or the great wrap up that our friends at CARTWHEEL put together.

Soon after the close of Indian Larry, PROJECT opened the doors to ROCK FIGHT. A collaboration with The Morrison Hotel Gallery, curated by Timothy White. This completely unique exhibit that paired vintage 60's and 70's wrestling and fight photos taken by Theo Ehret with the most iconic rock and roll imagery imaginable, thus exploring the correlation of violence and showmanship in both "arenas". Renowned photographers Henry Diltz, Bob Gruen, Janette Beckman, Lynn Goldsmith and many others all had work in the show. National and local exposure included  Entertainment Weekly, LA Weekly, FOX , Rolling Stone and many many others, and the attention was more than well deserved. The opening was hosted by Henry Rollins who stayed the entire night talking with everyone that came through the doors and was the ultimate gracious host! Not only is this one of the best exhibits we've ever worked on, it's also up there with those we've been to. This show is on display through October 6 with a possible closing party currently being scheduled...

On Wednesday, September 18 Brandon had his first book signing for So The Echo at Bookmarc in West Hollywood. Loyal fans formed a line at 10 am, if not earlier, and by the start of the event at 5 pm it wrapped around 3 street corners, and stayed that way until 830!!!! It was a tremendously AMAZING night and a great start to appearances and signings around So The Echo. Great coverage in Nylon Guys, The Hollywood Reporter, and many others...
