There's no way to pick a favorite between Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski; it's just impossible in our book. But we're excited to see the artwork inspired by the legendary directors behind these works.
The Quentin vs Coen art show at Spoke Art will feature works from over 60 artists -- drawings, paintings, and more -- highlighting the directors and producer who've combined humor and violence into cinematic masterpieces.
According to the event's Facebook page, the match-up is based on the directors interpretation of "dark humor":
Our heroine is still in New York this week, and she's still meeting up with all her besties, and promoting her book, and gushing over good food, yet despite all her efforts, her show on the Cooking Channel is still relegated to Saturday afternoons -- the graveyard shift of cooking shows, no?
This new HBO show about The Rapture is a huge metaphor. It's a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, for 9-11, for Sandy Hook. Anything where large groups of people disappeared en masse, seemingly overnight.
Ultimately thought it's about the existential human condition (yeah, I'm-a go there); we are all plunked down here and have no idea why we exist or why we one day cease to exist. Yet we get up every day and don't really think about it... until someone leaves us.
The lights crawl up the Eastern Outfitters building, illuminating Market Street -- a passageway that is ever morphing, moving and developing as the years pass. These 400 LED lights, along with images that flash across the side of the building, make up Let There Be -- the latest project from Illuminate the Arts, which flickered to life Thursday night -- each bulb and image reflecting the energy of the street and its role as major artery of the City's pulse.
"I've lived in San Francisco for 20 years and Market Street has always been a part of my commute," says Illuminate the Arts founder and artist behind Let There Be, Ben Davis. And over a year ago, thousands of miles away in Mexico City, he began to think about that commute and started formulating an art project that would work with the surroundings to transform the space. "[We] wanted to make Market Street not just passage but a destination."
