giant robot time: 11.1.13 | art by: katsuya terada view in browser Paper Noise Rob Sato and Ryohei Tanaka November 9 – December 4, 2013 Reception: Saturday, November 9, 6:30 – 10 PM Giant Robot is proud to present Paper Noise, an art show featuring new works by Rob Sato and Ryohei Tanaka. Rob Sato and Ryohei Tanaka were once roommates in the infamous “Art’s Crab Shack Apartment” during the late 90s in Oakland, California where they attended the California College of the Arts. They’ve remained friends since. Rob Sato often exhibits with Giant Robot and his work has continued to progress from wild and deranged imagery to a more controlled abstraction. Sato paints with watercolors and succinctly tells a story that’s steeped in historical references. Ryohei Tanaka “paints with scissors” and paper cuts his works. He’ll be exhibiting over 100 paper cuts often depicting beasts and are often bilaterally symmetrical. He’ll also be cutting paper live. Event Mari Nakamura Handmade Ceramics Beautiful handmade ceramic bowls and mugs featuring original patterns. Katsuya Terada Prints Released along with his solo show at our GR2 gallery. Signed by the artist. Oni Motorworks T-shirt A real shop that makes real cool motor vehicles. Kikkerland Nunchuck Pens “Write with more impact” with this cool set of pens that double as small set of nunchucks. Hellen Jo Frontier #2 Drawings, paintings and scenes of a gang of badass girls doing their thing. Battle of the Release Parties: Aziatix vs. Best Coast By MARTIN WONG Making charts is something I really enjoyed and miss about working on Giant Robot magazine, so I figured this was as good an occasion as any to dust off the old format… Enjoy! >> Mongolian Street Skating By MICHELLE BOROK A little sweeter than your average skate video, this brand new short film by Uukhai, a Mongolian skateboarding association, sheds an intimate, honest and unpretentious light on a burgeoning community in Ulaanbaatar. >> 2015 Sawtelle Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025 2062 Sawtelle Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90025
