Edwin Oshiro/Ryuichi Ogino

Edwin Ushiro
Beau Basse from LeBasse Projects shot me a note to let you know about their upcoming show on September 12th, that’s next Saturday (don’t worry, I had to check a calendar, too). And there’s no way I’m going to be responsible for even one of you in the LA area missing this show due to my negligence. I care about you too much to see you sitting at home on a Saturday night when you could be in Culver City drinking some free wine and cramming your eyes full of glory. This show, or shows actually, is definitely a must see as it features new works from Edwin Ushiro (work pictured above) and Ryuichi Ogino. Ushiro’s work is gorgeous and lush and layered, and Ogino’s is beautiful in its graphic simplicity and playfulness. Both these dudes are better than you in so many ways that it’s kind of embarrassing. If you don’t die from smoke inhalation in the next week or so, make sure you’re in Culver City from 7-10pm for this opening. If you have some kind of medical emergency that night, which is the only acceptable excuse, the show will be up until October 3rd; plenty of time for you to get over there once your burns heal. My public service for the day is now completed.
