admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:01:22 +0000

Although cold and cloudy, still no signs of more rain tonight. Is Saturday February 6th and time for our monthly Santa Ana Artwalk. I venturedthrough the chilled streets of Downtown Santa Ana with camera in hand to capture the very soul of this monthly engagement documenting the uniqueness and diversity of this great city. From BC Space: Mything in Action A Retrospective curated by Andrea Harris-McGee and Mike McGee at the Grand Central Art Center, President’s Precedence at GCS Santa Ana at the Santora Arts Building, to Father Material exhibit at OCCCA Gallery, among other galleries, happenings and activities.

FATHER MATERIAL

Kebe Fox, Stephen Anderson, Richard Towle

KEBE FOX

What is Father Material?

Where is Father Material?

Who is Father Material?

Kebe Fox poses and dissects these questions through his playful imagery, weaving symbols, animals, shapes and moods within three-dimensional environments.

A materialist society breeding new consumers?

Future celebrities?

A profoundly unselfish act to accelerate maturity and curb narcissism?

Fulfilling preconceived expectations or projecting unfulfilled ones?

To appease or keep a mate?

Tradition?

STEPHEN ANDERSON

Utilizing video, tee-shirts, mens ties, and collage, Stephen Anderson’s take on “Father Material” is cynical, judgmental and humorous.

Just watch “Cops” or “Jerry Springer” or the slew of reality TV shows to note that mankind is doomed.

Becoming a father in the literal sense is far too easy, add to it modern fertility drugs and the flood of “erection” pills it’s quite ironic to call it the “miracle” of birth.

With the amount of child abuse and kids put up for adoption, living in foster homes or engaged in slavery it’s crazy that people need a license to drive but anyone with a penis can become a father.

RICHARD TOWLE

What is “Father Material?” Or who is “Father Material?”

An idealization of one’s father often projected

onto someone to whom one looks for guidance and protection. One who gives. One who gives life, love, sex, money or council.

After you receive one, some or all of these gifts, the “Father Material” has but one question in his mind for you: ”Who’s your Daddy?” You are to be extra thankful because this was from your “Daddy.” Who’s your Daddy?

Haiti Disaster Relief in OC

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:48:56 +0000

Help us to bring more awareness and aid to those in need. Search for local organizations that are reliable and trustworthy to donate. Do not donate food, clothing or anything else since is hard to ship all these items. The best way to support is with your monetary donations. The natural disaster relief arm of the Organization of American States, PADF ensures donations made through the site are safe and secure. Also the Red Cross, Churches and Consulates.

Several charities set up text-messaging systems to allow people to give micro donations, in which $5 or $10 goes directly to the charity, if people type in certain key words. Ask your local church or newspaper how can you help. I have compiled some links to different organizations that can be contacted directly. Please DO NOT contact us since we can help but to spread the word and keeeping people informed. Thank you and God Bless you!

How to help

Relief organizations internationally and in Orange County have begun raising funds to help the victims of this week’s earthquake in Haiti. Here are a few places seeking donations:

Vertical Horizon frontman Matt Scannell at Borders

admin — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:52:07 +0000

On Sunday the 17^th, Vertical Horizon frontman Matt Scannell will perform solo at the Borders in Tustin, CA to support the band’s latest release, Burning The Days. The album was the band’s first release in 4 years. In 2005, after celebrating five Top 20 singles, a #1 single in “Everything You Want” and a #4 for “You’re A God”, the group took a self imposed hiatus to pursue other interests. In 2007, recharged and refocused Matt began writing and recording Burning The Days.

“We realized there was just more for us to do, we went to work,” said Scannell. Afforded the luxury to nurture those moments of inspiration, the album, according to the band, “is sonically as good as anything we have ever done. We take great pride in this album and hope it will resonate with our fans.”

Sunday, January 17 @ 3:00 p.m.

Performing Arts Kids MUSIC ROCK SCHOOL Orange County

The Performing Arts Guild of Orange County was founded and built on the belief that the major performing arts (music, theater, dance, etc…) are a vital necessity in our communities and that the opportunity to study these disciplines should not be limited to one’s financial means. Our instructors, contributors, and all members affiliated with the guild strongly feel that the ability to study the arts can enrich and shape people of all ages/lives
