About Brandon Boyd:

Brandon Boyd’s life is one characterized by creativity and self-expression. As a very young boy he often carried sketchbooks and notepads, and though he was never formally trained, over the years he has developed that young habit into an inextricable part of his adult life. In 1991 he began singing and writing lyrics with high school friends in what would be come the multi-platinum and internationally recognized rock band, Incubus. Brandon is the author of three books combining his artwork and creative writing: White Fluffy Clouds (2003), From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss (2007), and So The Echo (September, 2013).  Timing a new book alongside new music, he also released Sons of The Sea in September, a collaboration between he and acclaimed producer Brendan O’Brien.  In the winter of 2014 the group played sold out shows in LA, NY and The Fillmore in San Francisco.  Shifting creative gears in his own unique and versatile way, Brandon showcased his visual art In Europe for the first time in March, participating in an exhibition in Zurich followed by book signings and Q&A’s in Paris and London. This fall he will again travel overseas with his visual art for a gallery exhibit in Rome and other cities.

About Hennessey + Ingalls:

Since its founding in 1963, Hennessey + Ingalls has grown to fill a unique niche in American retailing. They are the largest art and architecture bookstore in the western United States, and probably the largest retail operation in the country dealing just with books on the visual arts. A family owned business, founded by Reginald Hennessey as an outlet for rare and out-of-print architecture books, is now on to its third generation and is still family-owned and managed. Hennessey + Ingalls has become a landmark in the visual arts community. They are pleased to count many of the area's and the country's leading architectural firms as clients, along with museums, collectors, art galleries, students, interior designers, graphic design firms, and schools. They are the primary book supplier to three large academic art libraries in Southern California, as well as to smaller schools and corporate libraries around the country. They maintain especially strong and in-depth selections of books in art and art history, all phases of architecture, photography, interior design, graphic design, and landscaping. The broadness of the collections and the knowledge of the staff at Hennessey + Ingalls is an important reason why top art directors in film, television, and advertising shop with them. In short, Hennessey + Ingalls has proven itself over the years through the combination of unequaled stock and most attentive customers service to be a successful and valued member of the vibrant art, architecture, and design communities here in Southern California and beyond.

WILD THING wrap up!

Last Saturday at PROJECT we welcomed White Faux Taxidermy in a group
show benefiting S.T.A.R.T Animal Rescue. The night was a huge success, and it was great seeing some of our favorite artist friends working on an entirely different and unique medium. Lina from the LA WEEKLY posted a slideshow and LA Confidential Magazine wrote about it HERE! The show is there through December 8 and fits the holiday vibe quite nicely!

Brandon x Ernie Wolfe Gallery
Brandon has curated a bad ass (and completely unique!) show at the Ernie Wolfe Gallery, opening reception next Wednesday and all are welcome!! Come say hi to us! And to Brandon before he leaves for South America with Incubus!


DETAILS!

WHERE: Ernie Wolfe Gallery
             1653 Sawtelle Blvd.
             Los Angeles, CA 90025
            (310) 478-2960        

WHEN:   Wednesday, November 20, 7pm – 10pm open to the public reception
              Exhibit runs through December 8, 2013

CONTACT: Gallery: Ernie Wolfe, (310) 478-2960
                 Press: Jen DiSisto, jen@artduet.net, (323) 718-1391

Ernie Wolfe Gallery presents ‘The Horror The Horror’ and celebrates the publication of Extreme Canvas 2: The Golden Age of Hand Painted Movie Posters from Ghana.  The exhibit, excerpted from Wolfe’s latest book, features 23 paintings by 8 artists, carefully selected by musician, artist and horror flick aficionado, Brandon Boyd. The featured posters are all published, hand painted, unique and original works of art, by known artists from the Golden Age of this exclusively Ghanaian tradition that existed fleetingly from the late 1980s until the late 1990s, and were created for use within the context of their local tradition.

Says Wolfe about the collection,  “Starting in about 1985 and continuing until just before the millennium, there existed a Golden Age of hand-painted imagination-driven movie posters in Ghana. This was a time when market forces from abroad were minimal and these unique and exotic paintings were created solely for the local Ghanaian movie viewing audience. The best and brightest artists of a generation competed fiercely and directly in the public eye for this exciting new work, being careful to sign and date the great majority of these paintings. Their hand-made artistry stood its ground against the inevitable tide of printing technology that globalization inexorably thrust upon them, and for a short while, carved out a small oasis in time where man actually won out over machines.”

For ‘Wild Thing’, White Faux Taxidermy resin animals have been given to twenty carefully selected artists, both local and international in their rawest form, creating a highly unique blank canvas. Each artist has made their chosen piece their own with only one simple rule: honor the animal. The results are handcrafted, original, one-of-a-kind pieces never seen before from these artists.

Via a set of headphones accompanied by his newly created IOS/Android application ‘Eye for Sound’ (powered by VStory), smartphones are able to scan and recognize art and immediately cue the associated audio track and other content.  Of the project which began in early 2013, Tankian says, “The urge came to me in the discovery that music has become so temporal and devalued in the world today, so I wanted to create an exclusive experience…something unique for someone to hold so they become the only person to experience this. I'm aiming to have people SEE the music and HEAR the art. Using a modern app, we're able to take Kandinsky's Synesthesia to a whole new level."

Serj Tankian was on born August 21, 1967 in Beirut, Lebanon and is an Armenian-American singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, poet, painter and political activist. He is best known as the lead vocalist, songwriter, keyboardist and occasional live rhythm guitarist of the metal band System of a Down. During his musical career, Tankian has released five albums with System of a Down, one with Arto Tunçboyacıyan (Serart), as well as four solo albums Elect the Dead,Imperfect Harmonies, Harakiri, and Orca, his first real classical symphony. A live orchestral version of Elect the Dead incorporating the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra named Elect the Dead Symphony was released in 2009. He's also released 2 books of poetry, Cool Gardens and Glaring Through Oblivion. In 2002, Tankian and Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello co-founded a non-profit organization, Axis of Justice. Tankian also founded the record label Serjical Strike Records and in 2011 he was awarded the Armenian Prime Minister's Medal for his contributions to the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and the advancement of music.  For more information on Serj please visit http://www.serjtankian.com

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...
