Seventy Seven Gallery: Art Show tonight (June 26th) 6pm – Midnight.

June 26th, 2010 No Comments

If you haven’t been to the new upstart, Seventy Seven Gallery, then you should go tonight for the Nick Morris show.  They are located just east of I-35 on 6th St. on the ground floor of some fancy new building.

One upping Domy Book’s destination of ‘Just East’ of 35, Seventy Seven Gallery, is just shy of the Interstate‘s asphalt, so close to the action in fact that while enjoying the night air outside ‘77’, a full scale crack bust went down directly across the street from us. It was by far the best performance piece that I had ever seen at an art show. It included a Crack Dealer, several crack heads, and clown car full of cops, well, it was actually a Honda Odyssey Mini Van with blacked out windows that screeched to a halt in between us and the open air market, from which a dozen or so cops spilled out of and started zip tying the felonious like effing Spiderman. It was an artistic! start to the new space. Remember that just east of I-35 is the essential face of the East Austin that the majority of Austinites and Church goers think of whenever its mentioned, so be glad that the Seventy Seven Gallery hopes to become the apple in the eye of said face while stepping up to fill the shoes of beloved but lost Gallery Lombardi as the new enthusiastic Graff flavored gallery of Austin. Kudos. See you tonight.

Love always,

Your Pal,

Lady Monsters by Katy Horan, Domy Books, March 2010.

June 21st, 2010 1 Comment

Our mission at Circus Gold is to show, rather than tell, what happened and let the viewer decide what they think for themselves. A key part of this is atmosphere, and while photos are great encapsulations of individual moments, they don’t always give full representation of said atmosphere and while currently crude, we feel that video gives a better idea of what a happening is like, without actually being present. So, without further ado, Circus Gold would like to give you a taste of Lady Monsters, by Katy Horan, at Domy Books, Austin TX., March 2010. Enjoy.

(Note: this our first attempt at filming a show and we have learned a lot from it.)

Your Heart is not a Museum: September 2009 ArtShow at Domy Books (Austin TX):

February 22nd, 2010 1 Comment

Welcome back to back-2the-futureCircus Gold, we are pleased to have you here with us on the internet, with that said, please enjoy a new lighter look at an Art Show that we happened across… Ready? Time Machine Clean, this time we are headed back all the way to September of ’09 :

While the new Circus Gold Lighter Look, which is based on our unpublished mission, is less judgmentally influential on the viewer than our contemporaries, I’ll type 2 things:

1) I am weary of drawings that do not bear erasure marks.

2) I like art that features cut stones, gems, diamonds, etc..

Your Heart is not a Museum” is Levi Dugat and Leah DeVun’s second collaborative gallery show. Taking inspiration from traditional craftmaking, romance novels, daytime television, and Southern kitsch, Dugat and DeVun’s graphite drawings offer fantastical and iconographical portraits of their extended band of family, friends, and favorite soap stars.”

FRIENDS Art Show! (F-R-I-E-(N)-D-S)….

June 8th, 2009 3 Comments

In the past here on Circus Gold, we’ve talked about the importance of Friendship (Friends, buncha bastards) and how beneficial it can be to one’s on well being.

Well, Tim Kerr, concurs. In fact, he orchestrated an Art Show around this belief, and even named it….

The Show included Friend Artists Rich Jacobs, Bill Daniel, Michael Sieben, Cynthia Connolly, and Kerr himself. The show took place at Domy Books, in East Austin. Yeah, that’s right, ‘took place’, so there is no way in hell you can see it now, except for here, on Circus Gold, and various other web outposts whom we will not mention.

“This exhibition was conceptualized by Tim Kerr, one of the five exhibiting artists. Simply put, we have been friends for years and our friendship was struck by the admiration of the other by the artwork they had done and the vision we each have.”
