Work and Non Work
An Exhibition by Susie Ghahremani.
Susie Ghahremani’s work is eye catching and quickly heart warming. Her painting style is smooth and echoes her life long interests in nature, animals, music and patterns. Ghahremani graduated from RISD in 2002 and continues her own business, “boygirlparty” in various forms including gift items, crafts and more.
This exhibition, Work and Non Work (the title borrowed from an album by Broadcast) “emphasizes the experimentation and play of my miniatures and drawings that I’ll be showing juxtaposed with the framed pieces.”
An opening reception for Susie Ghahremani will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 PM on Saturday, November 17th 6:30 – 10pm.
Exhibition: November 17th – December 5th 2012
Reception: Saturday, November 17th, 6:30 – 10:00 PM

Just added to Game Night 11. GR2 Saturday October 20th 7-10pm
iPad games: Astro Duel, Bloop and a viewing of One Million Hit Points.
We’ll also be premiering the latest episode of One Million Hit Points, a new webshow dedicated to video game culture in California.
Astro Duel
Astro Duel is a competitive astroid-style four player space arena for iPad. Inspired from endless nights of Super Bomberman, rounds are quick and death is sudden. Each player’s ship is controlled wirelessly with an iPhone or iPod touch. Arm your ship with 7 different power ups including missiles, lasers and auto-turrets. Varied arena bring a host of hiding places and hazards like death beams and black holes. Blow up your friends, rinse, repeat.
Bloop
Bloop is a fast, frantic touch game for iPad designed by Rusty Moyher. Two, three, or four players compete to tap the most tiles…at the same time! Easy at first, but soon the tiles shrink and hands collide. Each color plays a unique BLOOP sound, showing your symphonic success or dissonant disaster. As players push their way to victory, this onomatopoeic adventure becomes a hilarious party game.
Time Lapse of the mural and installation by Saelee Oh and Deth P Sun. Saelee Oh’s work took days and days, Deth P Sun, 11 hours. Both are amazing to see in person. Music by Goh Nakamura.

Article about the Giant Robot Biennale 3 by Liz Ohanesian. Thank you much.
Luke Chueh: “”I really believe that Giant Robot helped promote that the fact that there is more to this scene than the Japanese Superflat artists,” says Chueh, referencing artist Murakami and like-minded artists in Japan.” (LA Weekly – Biennale 3)
