Beckett's Endgame will be performed at McDermott-Crockett and Associates Mortuary?
Genesis West is changing it up again. The email had an exclamation point rather than my question mark and knowing this company the questions will be erased by a solid production.
The iconic absurdist masterpiece
A day in the life of a group of decaying survivors in mysteriously hard times. A blind master who can’t stand, his servant who can’t sit, his parents who live in trashcans and his sole possession, a toy dog that’s missing a leg.
“Endgame is as grim as any classic of the modern theatre- and yet it is monstrously funny. “- Frank Rich NY Times
With: Brian Harwell, Tom Hinshaw, David M. Brainard, Julie Anne Ruggier

Santa Barbara-based Petra Cortright is one of the most alluring web artists to ever exhibit at the New Museum. Alright, her manipulated YouTube videos are just damn mesmerizing. At a particularly poignant moment in her career, her early work VVEBCAM was censored from YouTube for her endless use of offensive keywords like ”sex” “fuck” “orgy” “slut,” even though the content was rather innocent — a passive self-portrait interrupted by the shuffling of random, cartoon-ish web imagery as it was “consumed” by the artist. It is now backed up on Rhizome, and the incident is immortalized in academic circles.

It's nice to be reminded that not all Santa Barbara art is 1st Thursday-esque.

Because I went over to the newly re-branded Art, Design and Architecture Museum at UCSB...
Yeah, I'm still going to call it the University Art Museum in conversation... much more descriptive, but I digress...
and saw the most wonderful, strange, beautiful, puzzling art I have seen in a long time. Amy Cutler's show is not to be missed.
Here's the info. Go check it out for yourself and I'll see you when you go back for the closing reception. Amy will be there and I, for one, cannot wait to thank her for creating such amazing work.
Amy Cutler
July 14-September 16, 2012
The visionary, whimsical work fo Brooklyn-based artist Amy Cutler will be featured in a one-person exhibition at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum during the summer of 2012. Cutler is internationally recongized for her works on paper executed in gouache, pen and ink, or graphite. In Cutler's highly engaging compositions, female figures are clothed in exquisitely patterned garments and participate in bizarre tasks which evoke the irrational state of the dream world yet find resonance with quotidian experience. Cutler’s sources are manifold, including 19th century graphic design and book illustration, Persian miniatures, folk art, and Victorian art.
The exhibition travels to AD&A Museum from SITE Santa Fe. Cutler’s work has been featured in one-person exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Museum of Contemporary Art Kansas City, and others. Cutler participated in surveys at MoMA PS 1, the 2004 Whitney Biennial and others. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hammer Museum at UCLA, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Closing Celebration and walkthrough with Amy Cutler: Friday, September 14, 5:30-7:30 pm
