Fantastic job by all involved. Congrats Chris and Brian!

I don’t know Sean Dunne. But after watching this he feels like our generation’s D.A. Pennebaker. This is an incredible human circus.

This Friday The Andy Warhol Museum will be curating Joseph La Piana’s latest sculptural work at Dilettante’s brand new downtown space. What started as two tower sculptures on San Servolo Island, Venice, Italy during this year’s Venice Biennale has now resurfaced in Los Angeles as a deconstructive series of four sculptures, retitled, The Los Angeles Text Project. The work will be on view starting this Friday to October 2nd from 11-6 p.m. with a cocktail reception for Joseph at Dilettante Friday, September 30 from 5-8 p.m. We’re honored and humbled to working with both the museum and Joseph on this!! Click here for more info on the project.

Dilettante is located at 120 S. Santa Fe Los Angeles, Ca 90012

Dilettante artist Chris Holmes of Ashtar Command, creator of The Privateer System, gets intellectually pilfered by Kaiser Chief Ricky Wilson. Peruse the evidence at the DAILY SWARM. In the words of Stephen Patrick Morrissey:
“If you must write prose and poems
the words you use should be your own
don’t plagiarise or take “on loans”
there’s always someone, somewhere
with a big nose, who knows
and trips you up and laughs
when you fall
who’ll trip you up and laugh
when you fall”

The Albertans’ THE WAKE cut to a mind bending 60′s bicycle safety film called ONE GOT FAT as well as 1952 Venice Film Festival prize winner, CONEY ISLAND, USA. The tail pull at :22 is sublime.
