Bombs and Wombs

BOMBS & WOMBS
drawings by Ravi Shukla aka Bill Beso

Curated by Lisa Kehler Sims
Opening Reception: August 5, 2010 7pm-10pm show
running until August 31, 2010 at the Semai Gallery 264 McDermot Avenue.

Oh how delighted I am to be working with such a talent. His drawings seem effortless; enigmatic; ethereal. The gallery is a treat too: Semai translates to narrow in Japanese: the gallery space is a hallway nested within another gallery's walls. I couldn't imagine a more perfect venue to exhibit a body of work so steeped in exploration of spaces...Once I have completed my curatorial statement/essay I will post it here.

The show will be available for viewing online once it opens. Visit Semai Gallery website here.

Love.

I heard your name and knew. I saw through panes of glass. You saw me in a window. Now here we are, years later. You are mine, and oh my dear, I am yours.

My friends are so talented. Over the years i have met many wonderful artists, musicians and writers. I think what I want to do from now on is discuss a friend and their talents, once a week. I will come up with some sort of catchy title, like "Friendly Fire" and then I will direct 5 questions to each. Maybe 10, or maybe 3. Hmmm. the number is insignificant at this point.

Right now I want to mention some of the people that inspire me everyday, and that hopefully will answer my questions at some point. (Some are shyyyyyy)
