The Weekend Forecast.
This weekend is insanely busy with gallery openings, music and nice weather riding for everyone. The weekend starts off with one of the greatest gallery closings of the year, which involves FREE ART.
Flat Black Industries hung a show on April 19, highlighting a plethora of local street artists – some you know, some you don’t. The closing reception kicks off tomorrow at 8pm and all of the work is up for grabs – like this Evoker piece. Yes, its FREE – however, since nothing is really free, I’m not posting the location, so you’ve got to figure it out on your own! Along with the art school student trampling, there will be music and breakdancing – we might send James to cut-a-rug, pop-lock or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
Saturday night should be just as fun, even if the art isn’t free. Local superstar artist and stencil maniac, Kenji Nakayama has curated a show at LAB-Boston titled Abstract & Decay, which focuses on paintings of decaying industrial landscapes. If you enjoy riding around the dry docks, airport or any vacant big-box retail suburban strip mall – this is the spring show you didn’t know you wanted to see. Artists include Jessica Hess, Anna Trzaska, Rahul Shah, and Katie Hovland. If you are afraid to cross the threshold from the sidewalk into 113 Brighton Ave for the show, atleast enjoy LAB’s freshly painted windows, done by the above mentioned Kenji, Evoker and another local, Enamel Kingdom. Abstract & Decay gets wild at 7pm at LAB-Boston, 113 Brighton Avenue ( & Harvard Ave) in Allston. I’m really digging the LOCAL love that has been spreading; art, bikes, music, etc – Boston is coming together. Oh, don’t forget to ride your bike there!
