Himovitz Show 1020 Show, the 15 year anniversary of the death of Michael Himovitz and is a celebration of the gallery and the man who created it. This show is boasting an amazing array of artists from the Himovitz stable assembled for the first time in years. 1020 will probably be one of the best art shows in Sacramento for the month of October.

Skinner @111 Minna

John Stuart Berger — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:27:49 +0000

I know this is John Stuart Berger. com and most of my posts revolve around my over inflated ego and to showcase my artwork. Occasionally I stumble upon something art related that I have to showcase, in the past I have posted entries about Short Center North, Irving Norman, Sylvia Ji, Dave Cooper, David Best, Kris Kukzi etc. This time I want to blog about the Skinner show that is currently at 111 Minna in San Francisco, and will be there for the remainder of June. I have known Skinner for a while; I’ve shown with him, done installations with him and watched him develop into a really great artist. When I went to see Skinner’s show I new it would be a cool experience and I knew it would be a great show, but I was totally blown away!!! I have seen several good shows at 111 Minna but Skinner’s show totally dominated that space, he was one of the few artists to fill the whole space with great art and an installation. There was also sculpture animation and Skinner’s band Iguanadon, I think it will be a while before anyone pulls off a show of this magnitude at Minna. If your familiar with Skinner’s work you owe it to yourself to check this show out while you still can.
