Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 11, 2011 Sidewalk Sale and Cat Adoption Sunday, September 11, 2011, 12:00 a.m. – 3 p.m. GR2 2062 Sawtelle Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 gr2.net (310) 445-9276 Giant Robot Los Angeles – West LA, Sawtelle Blvd’s tradition of pet adoptions continue. This time, the West LA Shelter will bring down our feline friends – Cats. We understand that September 11th will be a very powerful memorial day, and we feel that in order to observe it correctly, is to get out and exercise your freedom. Aside from having adoptable cats, Giant Robot will also have a sidewalk sale filled with overstocked merchandise marked down, sale items, electronics, knickknacks, books from “the office”, and much more. This will take place outdoors in front of our Giant Robot 2 shop. Bargains will happen and at the same time, give the ultimate gift of a great home for a cat or kitten.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Art show opening Deth P. Sun at GR2 August 24 – September 21, 2011 Reception: Saturday, August 27, 6:30 – 10:00 p.m. GR2 2062 Sawtelle Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025 gr2.net (310) 445-9276 Giant Robot is proud to host Smoke and Mirrors, a show featuring new work by Bay area based artist Deth P. Sun. We’ve worked extensively with Deth P. Sun and cannot be happier to work with him once again. His works have always inspired and excited both art fans and passers by. Contrary to some beliefs, Sun’s work has vastly grew over the years and was featured in the Giant Robot Biennale 2 in 2009. Deth P. Sun’s acrylic paintings on panels bring epic landscapes and cosmic occurrences into a private and personal world. Influenced by David Attenborough, as well as the Moomin series and films of Terry Gilliam, Deth seeks to create a fantasy world as a reflection of his own experiences and worldview. It is a place where cold mountains loom under the stars, cloaked figures arrive with the night, and lone dreamers struggle–a place where hope and belief still shine in dark times. Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries in Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as an online equivalent. An opening reception for Sun will take place from 6:30 – 10:00 on Saturday, Aug 27th.

Giant Robot was granted this nice POD in front of JANM and MOCA Geffen in Little Tokyo. It’s a four day festival starting this thursday July 14- Sunday 17th. Here’s a map of the container exhibits at bottom. Our POD is a super mini version of our shop and yes, the items will be for sale. I had two people ask if everything will be free. Sorry, life costs.
There’s actually a soft opening this evening… what?! Just found out. I’ll be there, I think, if not look for that box to be locked down.
