Saturn Sushi

Read a great write up Al Burian did for VICE about one of my performances with Saturn Dogs where we had a blue sushi dinner to celebrate the release of our new recording, BLU PU. I’m glad he liked the sushi.

Next is the Next Level


I recently had the pleasure of making an improvisational silkscreen book here in Berlin with my friends Meeloo and Anna at RE:SURGO. We just went in and drew a bunch of pictures together on the fly and then silk-screened them with tons of colors, hand bound with thread, and made an edition of 59 in like 3 days. pretty cool.These guys work fast and I love busting things out with a real sense of urgency. It makes for honest work when you don’t have any time to censor yourself. It’s just drink coffee and go go go. I attached some pics for you to see of us working in the shop and some of the finished book. Get a closer look and purchase a copy HERE

Nice Age

I’m always seeing tons of cool photos of great shows in front of my mural that wraps around the stage at 285 Kent in Brooklyn. This is one of the better videos I have seen and it captures the room quite well.Not sure if I like Iceage or not (I’ve never seen them or heard their records) but this is cool anyways.

Zavala, Alexis Anne Mackenzie, Allyson Mellberg, Jeremy Taylor, Brian Willmont,

Dirty Fingers focuses on a group of artists that are continuing to use various forms of
printmaking as a viable contemporary medium. Silkscreening, etching, stenciling, and
woodblock printing are some of the methods used in this large group exhibition featuring
a wide range of imagery and content. The immediacy and accessibility of printmaking
creates a medium that can be mass-produced in editions and sold affordably. The process
of hand-printing also adds the distinction of the human hand at work, revealing its slight
imperfections and labor to be quite refreshing to see.
Join us for a showcase of our favorite print makers from around the world.

Letters to the Future

My friend Bethany Allard is a teacher and told her students about me. They listened to some noise music of mine and looked at some of my paintings, then made some free-spirited scribble scrabble of their own.

Then they wrote me letters and Bethany gave them to me. OMG they were amazing. They asked me questions like “Do you have dinosaurs?” and “How do you make noise music?” I answered them with little drawings of my own. can you tell who did what? haha. Kids r the future.

Limitless Range

Limitless Range

Kelie Bowman, Elisita Punto, Sto Len

Join us in our main gallery for the opening of Limitless Range, a collaborative mural installation by Kelie Bowman, Sto Len, and Elisita Punto.
space, erasing space, and shifting perception, these artists act as magicians, architects, and archaeologists. For this exhibition, each artist will create a site specific mural installation that will intersect with each other and activate the walls of the gallery.

Kelie Bowman’s painted mural evokes a continuously shifting perception inspired by the experience of watching light reflect on the water. Bowman spent the Fall of 2011 living on a sailboat in Tampa Bay, Florida and was subsequently awarded a residency on a boat in Jamaica Bay, New York in Spring of 2012. The mural captures Bowman’s experimentation with shifting depth and distance in a still medium and through the multiplicity of angles, the artist asks the viewer to open their perception.

There is an architecture for sound that needs to be resolved for every different landscape that we inhabit. Obsessed with repetition, patterns, rhythms, and optic effects, Elisita Punto is constantly pushing the limits of geometric shapes and colors to become music. Elisita Punto´s brain works like her masking tape compositionsm using visual arpeggiators, tones and sound expansion in a visual language. As an artist and musician, Punto finds herself in the breaking point of shapes becoming sound and noise becoming something visual.

Sto makes sumi-ink paintings that utilize a mix of traditional Japanese calligraphic techniques, chance operations, rhythm and improvisation on paper, canvas, and walls. These works explore the obliteration of the image while acknowledging the phenomenon of Pareidolia (seeing faces in random images). Once faces begin to emerge, Sto allows the lines to finish telling their story by submitting to the concrete imagery he discovers.

Featuring performances by on the Opening Night by
Black Pus (Brian Chippendale solo project)
Video Nasties
Stolen Temple Pileup and the Limitless Rangers

FREE show, All Ages. Music starts at 8:30.

Saturn Dogs

Over the summer, I started a new exciting project called SATURN DOGS. Its a collaboration with French artist, dancer, and violinist Manon Parent. It focuses on sound experiments through movement and continues to explore how those worlds can collide. We just finished a US Tour down south and will be heading to Europe in the Fall.

check out our new SITE and this video below for a taste. Keep an eye out as we shall be performing alot in the coming year.
