OhNo!Doom Gallery presents Matthew Ryan Sharp in his first Chicago Solo exhibition.

This show will consist of new paintings, drawings, plush toys, products, prints, carnival banners and some other interesting kitsch items. Free cotton candy and popcorn will be offered while supplies last.

Art Opening, Sat. April 2 at OhNo!Doom

OhNo!Doom presents:
Beast Friends: Keith Noordzy & Kali Meadows
Opening reception: April 2nd, 2011 6-10pm
Exhibit closes April 30th

Keith Noordzy and Kali Meadows are Beast Friends. This exhibit showcases their individual works of friendship and beastliness.

Kali Meadows

Kali Meadows holds her pen in a funny way. Doing so has left a permanent bump on her ring-finger; a true mark of an illustrator. When she isn't doodling, she can be found admiring baby sloths and cracking open fresh coconuts in the sunshine of Los Angeles, CA.

Keith Noordzy

Keith Noordzy grew up in Florida hunting giant squids and dinosaurs. Over the years these ancient creatures started disappearing, leaving only visions and memories of those once great adventures. He now lives in Los Angeles retelling stories by creating artwork of epic creatures, cute characters, and their mysterious descent into the darkness.

Correction to Pipeline: Out O' the Woodwork is TONIGHT (Sat) Feb.

Sometimes you learn things the hard way, and yesterday, after being up early doing pipeline work, then working, and walking to Uncle Fun after work (immediate cheer up!), and then walking through Lakeview, about a three mile walk in the snow, and finally collapsing into a cab, I went to the Out O' the Woodwork Opening at OhNo!Doom Gallery.

There were only two people there, OND collaborative members Max and Oscar, and the gallery was suspiciously empty. There was also a ladder and some walls only half hung with art.

Yep, I am the idiot who trusts her own e-newsletter and shows up on the wrong night.

I made a typo.

The show is tonight, not yesterday.

Here's a few pics, featuring art from the show. I do not know how to do captions on blogspot, thus apologies for not labeling who did what.

One benefit of showing up tonight, vs. last night, per Oscar, is Free Beer.

On the walk home from the wrong-night-show I popped by another gallery, a pop-up studio space which was a pleasant surprise since I did not know it was there. Artist Cleveland Dean spoke with me briefly about one of his pieces, a Craigslist salvaged toilet full of crumpled Illinois law book papers. More on Cleveland Dean in the next pipeline. And maybe some pics from OND's show tonight. As for First Fridays at Flat Iron, I was just too tired and went home to crash. I think I'm too old for Friday nights.
