Each year, as the days heat up and the spawn of seeds grow and pollinate, we seek the same rapture. In a greenwashed world of confusing politics and vapid commercialism, searching for validation and companionship in ideas and alternatives heat up in the bustling summer months. The twenty somethings are in a common struggle to define our generation-after-x.
Art Now Sf and
Juxtapoz magazine hear your cries and have put together an art extravaganza for your visionary soul.
365 will be a concert, art show, and and avant-intellectual groundswell. With hesitations lifted this First Thursday is a night to be recognized. The music lineup alone is enough to get your booty and your brain to 111 Minna. Art Now SF is notorious for going above and beyond the expectations of a party, and they bring us the first ever live band set by electro-funk phenomenon
Eliot Lipp. He has been producing music over the years with a start from Scott Herren of Prefuse 73. He is putting the live back into electronic sounds and we get to witness his birth. On the wow tip we also have
Daedelus of Ninja Tune (LA) who is coming straight from a European excursion to bring us his cerebral IDM sound projections. He is a tinkerer and plays a prodigous amount of instruments, and is well known for his epic collaboration "Exquisite Corpse." 365 will be a connecting spot for indie rap and artistic visionaries. Let's not forget local art rap darlings
Jel and
Odd Nosdam of Anticon Records in Oakland. They have spent the larger part of a decade working on mindscapes and avant gard soliloquies. They have paved the way for sensitivity in the rap game, inspiring a whole genre of abstract hip hop. Odd Nosdam has been on the "far side of sound" with project cLOUDED and as co-founder of the Anticon Label. In the same vein we have LA's
Free The Robots, a man against the case of the mondays. Free The Robots has been picked up by neo-media mogul Shephard Fairey's Obey Records. As Fairey's phenomenology has become commonplace in the above ground scene, his attention to details and attraction to groundbreakers lends Free the Robots extra momentum in this quest to be heard. Free the Robots has been ironing out his musings with long friend,
Gas Lamp Killer, who will be bringing it down with us on first thursday as well. This duo released a record together called "Killer Robots" and GLK will be featured on the Low End Theory documentary due out this summer. Gas Lamp Killer just released "I Spit On Your Grave" May 20th with a party at Mardrone Lounge.
Here's what Art Now SF had to say about the event:
"An art show for the history books. We have brought together an amazing group of artists for a show that will open and close with explosions of creativity. ArtNowSF and Kris D had the great idea of taking some of the country's most amazing visionary artist and some stand out contemporary artist to bridge the gap between the two worlds. The show will dig deep into the soul and bring light to parts of the brain not yet discovered. To top it all off we are bringing you an opening of top notch musicians and live painters to set the mood. And to close it out we will do what ArtNow does so well, we body rock with Suite Jesus the uber freakish dance party we do every month. So fasten your spaceship seatbelts and get ready for a galactic creativity ride."
