THIS WEEK: Art!

Hi Everyone,

Artist Zoe Crosher is opening her exhibit "For Ur Eyes Only: The Unveiling of Michelle DuBois" at the Charlie James Gallery over in the East Side, Chinatown area.

If you haven't heard the history of Michelle duBois (as I hadn't) you must definitely check out Zoe's website. The work is essentially an interpretation of the prolific artifacts of duBois' life. Through much of the 1970's Michelle duBois (alias) chronicled her life as a stewardess, Pacific Rim sex worker and world traveler through many mediums. Until one day, she stopped... That is where Zoe's work comes in.

Here's a little info about Zoe, and her Michelle DuBois work.

"The Unveiling of Michelle duBois opens with the final published photographs in the archive, to which the artist refers as “the last four days and nights in Tokyo.” The West Coast was Oklahoma-native duBois’ last American port of call before setting off for Asia. So it is perhaps fitting that Chung King Road’s Hollywood-ized take on Chinese culture should be the place to unveil duBois’ Oriental escapism. Crosher has fixed in on duBois’ transient obsessions, making pictures of pictures - of obfuscated faces, of repeated shadows in dark black &white doorways, of arched backs, of backs of backs of photographs and backs of necks, of notes taken and rewritten, scanned and scratched, kept and held and returned - all archives within archives through which we are momentarily granted access into one woman’s fantastical worldview and performed sexuality, framed and reframed by a medium disappearing before our eyes." - Charlie James Gallery Website

This sounds so cool! Please check it out, and let me know what you thought!

The Exhibit runs from Oct. 21st - Dec. 4th
