specifically to be suspended in open air. High Art is a free event and
opens to the public on Friday, July 17th, from 5:30 to 9 pm. Show will
run from until July 23rd.

Radar. Take Back the Art.

SHIKU-GARU/MELON-CHAN |
|
|
HAPPY
DOG GALLERY-- 1542 N. MILWAUKEE, 2ND FLOOR
ONE NIGHT
ONLY
For the second installment of
the Shiku-Garu series, the artists of
Deadline Projects were invited to display their art at the opening
of the art/music/dance party in celebration of the graduation of
Melon-Chan.
Melon is a character created by artist James
Beckman. She's a girl who has just accomplished a
major milestone
in
her life, getting her BFA, yet she feels small now out in
the big
world. Melon represents feelings that many artists have after
joining the 'real world'. The artworks presented channelled
the
spirit of Melon-Chan and were guided by the dimensions of 12" x 12"
x 12" or smaller. Tiny art for a fictitious girl who feels small.
