Cool Hunting
Basco by Wendy Dembo
He goes by Vasco, Bazko, Vasko or Basco. At 20 years old he still has some time to figure out what his tag should be. But he doesn’t have that much time. Due to his success at the Upper Playground in association with Fifty24SF. The show opens Thursday, 2 March 2006 and runs through 1 April 2006.
Look for his simple yet expressive faces, body parts painted on wallpaper, and Aubrey Beardsley-like graphics used for skeletons and animals. The young Chilean likes to destroy buildings and walls in a traditional graffiti manner, but you would be smart to pick up one of his smaller paintings.
See more images after the jump.
Opening Reception: 2 March 2006, 7-9:30pm

The Hoody Gallery
Now that the hoody's been elevated to avant-couture, it follows that there's an exhibition devoted to the ubiquitous item of clothing.

The one-night event also features a line-up of...

The GIF Show
The GIF show at Rx Gallery in San Francisco elevates an art form more disposable and as ubiquitous as the doodle. Filled with videos, prints, readymades, sculptures, and animations executed in the same medium as those infuriating porn banners, the GIF show opens tonight, 3 May 2006, and runs through 9 June 2006, exploring the aesthetic texture and "broader social life" of graphic interchange...

Beautiful Crime
"Graffiti is not vandalism, but a beautiful crime," is one of the philosophical pillars that this guerilla gallery operates on. Now that we seem to have stopped arguing whether graffiti is art, we can start to enjoy some of the fine stuff collected by the folks at Beautiful Crime. The current exhibition by San Francisco artist Pure Evil chronicles how a tale of giant...

AfterModern: Out of Doors
AfterModern, a new gallery in San Francisco's up-and-coming South Park neighborhood (conveniently nearby the SFMOMA) launched with an inaugural exhibition last Saturday called "Out of Doors." Curated by Busy Being founder Amber Abramson, 27, who formerly headed up Los Angeles gallery and store, four x four, the show takes the outdoors as its theme.

Mr.: Nobody Dies
Currently on view at Lehmann Maupin in New York, Japanese artist and Kaikai Kiki collaborator Mr. is presenting his first foray into film with "Nobody Dies," a 35-minute short about a group of adolescent Japanese girls who partake in a paintball riddled war game of capture-the-flag. Carefully toeing the line between perversion and commentary, the film is a continuation of the artist's investigation into...
