About the show:
Mono e Mono
The show Mono e Mono is a double blind. Two friends with overlapping sensibilities display artwork together without seeing what the other is doing. Plansker and Veltri have worked in various collaborative capacities since the inception of The Bloke - An Ivy League menswear shop meeting Groove Merchant Records SF cohabiting in Pasadena. From there they have shared a radio chair at Jazz Advance (dublab.com) / DJ’d various venues together (Ace Hotel / Stay / Wellema Hats / dublab) and are planning a book project on vintage HiFi brochures. Their shared interest in paper ephemera / design / books / records and artmaking lead to their first show together at Rappcats (Stereo - Mono Outs). This was followed with inclusion in the LMF group show (Oct Art Pop Up). The current show explores their love for collage strategies while trying to avoid the usual collage traps and outcomes. Chris is a Santa Monica native who resides in San Francisco - Jeffery is a Detroit native living in Pasadena.

NIGHT BIRDS
Paintings by Simon Silva - Works still available through the gallery!
Click below.
This collection mixes personal memories and scenes of the city. I contrast the glamorous side of Hollywood with the reality of neighborhoods in more affordable parts of town. In my work, helicopters - what we call “Night Birds” - hover over cityscapes, clashing with the distant sparkle of premieres and neon lights. These “birds” feel both haunting and alive, symbolizing the unrest and constant activity of the city after dark.
