• ‘I Hate Everyone But You’ Tim Biskup & Matt Goldman

  November 13th 09, 14:33

  

  Hot off the heels of Gardner 10th by Michael Lau extravaganza De La Barracuda Gallery presents exhibition of new works by Tim Biskup & Matt Goldman “I Hate Everyone But You” opening on November 13th. “Los Angeles native, Tim Biskup has been strangely absent from the LA art scene since his last big solo show at Billy Shire Gallery back in 2007. Has he been avoiding his home town? He’s been working hard, without a doubt, with exhibitions in NYC, Paris, Barcelona, Tokyo & Taipei in the last few years. But, what about us poor SoCal fans? There have been mumblings about a triumphant return for some time, but no official word. Now this! Tim & his pal, designer/promoter/man-about-town Matt Goldman are going to take over the massive Barracuda Store on Melrose. Is this it? Tim’s new LA show? Well, yes, and no. It’s going to be a bit more like a retrospective with some new work thrown in. But, judging by the pre-show info put out by Mr. Biskup’s people this could be the artist’s biggest LA show yet! Several large-scale sculptures are being included, some of which have never seen the light of day. New paintings, lots of gems from the TB archives and more than a few surprises! Add a healthy supply of Mr. Goldman’s eye-popping silk-screened prints and an enormous wall-piece and you’ve got more than enough to overwhelm even the most jaded hipster! We won’t even mention the mob-scene that the opening party is sure to be.”

• Michael Lau x MINDstyle x De La Barracuda M.L.M.D Watch Set

  September 25th 09, 6:40

  

  Here is the latest collaboration item by Michael Lau for Gardener Tenth. The exclusive set includes an all black version of his Submilgaytona watch and his new character, M.L.M.D.

  But that’s not all, with the purchase of the M.L.M.D. (Sample) & Submilgaytona set, fans and collectors will receive a NFS ultra limited purple and gold inspired “champions” LA Fat figure in celebration of Michael Lau’s 10th anniversary, definitely making this one of Michael Lau’s rarest collectibles.

  Each set is hand numbered and signed by Michael Lau and limited to only 109 pieces worldwide, in celebration of his 109 Gardeners.

  Gardener Tenth M.L.M.D. (Sample) & Submilgaytona set. Actually different parts of the M.L.M.D. figure are inspired by different parts of the watch:
  - left and right eyes = the “12″ and “1″ hour graphic on the dial
  - nose = the second arm
  - mouth = the different hour graphic on the dial
  - left arm = the hour arm
  - right arm = the minute arm
  - left and right feet are different as the top and bottom band
  - right shoe is from the “4″ hour graphic on the dial
  - the head and figure = Michael Lau
  - the crown = MINDstyle
  - the cross pattern on the body and color version = De La Barracuda
  - the whole inspiration of the M.L.M.D. watch set is from sampling, mix-matching different iconic designs.

  The M.L.M.D.“Submilgaytona”watch and (N.F.S) LA Fat figure will be available at De La Barracuda with limited sets being released each day of the exhibition. Each watch is numbered and signed. The box set and rare LA Fat figure will be priced at USD $495.00.

  Also don’t forget that our Slamxhype x Michael Lau Gardener 1oth limited edition of 100 pcs vinyl figure will be available via Slamxhype webstore and instore at De La Barracuda on September 30th!

  “Enter The Void” is the newest film by controversial French writer/director Gaspar Noé ( Irreversible, I Stand Alone). The film’s synopsis is a story of a drug-dealing teen who is killed in Japan, after which he reappears as a ghost to watch over his sister. This is  quite a different and more mellow subject for Noé but all his “trademark moments” are expected. The film premiered at the 62nd Cannes Festival and received “Golden Palm” nomination. Teaser trailer and an interview with Gaspar Noé after the jump.

  The film is pretty amazing. Unfortunately the trailer doesn’t do this movie any justice. Brian Cox is brilliant, probably his best performance yet. Do yourself a solid and watch the film.
