"It's that bracing spirit of art anarchy that makes the on-and-near St. Claude Avenue art scene the spot to watch in 2008." - Doug MacCash, Times-Picayune, Dec. 28, 2007 "...in many respects the most satisfying exhibition I've ever had... Maybe because of the burgeoning art district... developing there. Or maybe because of the nature of the unfeigned eccentricity of the New Orleans resident." - Skip Williamson, Artist, April 2008* |

ART WASHBOARD CHAZ MORNING 40 FEDERATION "LOVE LETTERS" "I've told anyone who'll listen that, in many respects it was the most satisfying exhibition I've ever had. Primarily, I think, because of the people who attended. Not at all snooty and pretentious, like many art patrons (Like here in Atlanta f'rinstance). And not superficial dorks cruising from gallery to gallery in search of cheap white wine, but really not interested in the art (Like a crowd I had in Philly a couple of years ago.). I dunno...the people who showed up in NOLA were more straightforward and appreciative. Maybe because of the burgeoning art district you guys are developing there. Or maybe because of the nature of the unfeigned eccentricity of the New Orleans resident. Thanks again. Let's continue this relationship. - Skip [Williamson]"

Derek Hess: "WTF" Closing Party: Sunday, April 6, 2008, Noon - 5pm hot dogs and high life. bywater prices. Gallery Hours: Please call for an appointment From concert posters to politically charged fine art pieces, Cleveland-based artist Derek Hess has tested the waters of both the music and art world for over 15 years. Always a fan of music, Hess began creating promotional flyers for shows in Cleveland using his own unique vision and a play off the bands names and genre. These flyers soon garnered the attention of countless bands as well as both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the infamous Louvre in Paris, who both have Hess’ art in their permanent collection. In addition to posters for bands such as Pantera, Thursday, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam, Hess has also created CD covers for bands like Motion City Soundtrack and Unearth. He has also been featured on television show and in magazines – TLC, The Food Network, MTV, Fuse, VH1, Alternative Press and Juxtapose as well as many others. |

MONA ROGERS IN PERSON: A PLAY BY PHILLIP-DIMITRI GALAS Show Dates & Times: Friday - Sunday April 11 - 13, 8:30 pm Tickets: $12 Mona Rogers: ‘'Who needs another story about her?” This challenge is the opening salvo in an extended barrage of contemptuous, self-lacerating questions that establish Mona (as played by six male and female characters, young and old,) as the nightmarish distillation of a certain breed of woman who grew up in the 1950's. Mona ultimately seems imprisoned within her own assiduously cultivated beauty-queen body language. Each actor is playing the different emotions and sides of one character. Mona is her own Greek chorus and her solo self all in one. |

SKIP WILLIAMSON, CHRISTINA GUSEK & THE SUBLIMATOR Opening Reception: Saturday April 12th, 6:00pm - 11:00pm Art by Skip Williamson and Christina Gusek, Performance by The Subliminator "Artist Skip Williamson, (is) one of the beloved granddaddies
of the nihilistic underground comics movement... Trippier than a
sheet of windowpane acid, and often more political than compatriots
like R. Crumb, Williamson also invented the "Playboy Funnies" section
of America's favorite lad mag." Chris Gusek, an artist originally from western Massachusetts. Her work is disquieting, willfully scatological and morbidly uncivilized. She's obsessive/compulsive, a fan of Heavy Metal and her art is like Yellow Submarine meets Charles Manson if Charles Manson were female. The Subliminator was found in a state of suspended animation in an abandoned crate by spacerock guitar ace John Pack in 2002. Col. Pack immediately installed him in his band Spaceseed, America's premier spacerock band. |
