for the austin readers, the international exhibition of neosymbolism has their opening night reception this thursday at "I.C.A. 201 E. 2nd Street", wherever the hell that is.
my former co-worker stano grezdo has several paintings in the exhibit, although he will not personally be attending. i have to say that stano is hands down the best slovakian rasputin-look-alike painter i know.
as someone who grew up behind the iron-curtain, there tends to be some fascist iconography in his work. this next painting is called "absolut control."
the following painting, titled "the buildings of the department of propaganda" was included in space squid #2, although it did not get the full-page that it deserved.
at one of stano’s receptions i attended he had a theremin player performing in front of a projection of WWII flying fortress documentary footage. so this event should be fun as well.
