Ship in the Woods 1660 Lugano Lane, Del Mar 92014
This
wonderful gallery is hitting its stride with a fabulous
installation/exhibition by Einar and Jamex de la Torres and Belize
Iristay. The ship is upping anchor in August but this show is not to be
missed and the S.O.S. Benefit Auction, Saturday
June 27th from 6:00pm - 11:00pm is a call for help to keep the boat
afloat. Do yourself a favor and see this show and the home in Del Mar
before this era is over.

Iristay was covered in black from head to foot when we arrived with
just a slit for the eyes. This was part of the documentation as several
of us adorned ourselves similarly. Adorned might not be the right word,
as you immediately lost all sense of identity. You became a walking
anonymous
thing instead of a person. My friends did not recognize me until I
talked to them and even the look in their eyes was alien as if I was an
intruder.

Iristay shows a continuation of the video installation at Valencia
Gallery for the New Contemporaries exhibition with these ceramic lip
inspired works. |

| This
and the images below are by the de la Torres brothers. There were
individual works and every where you looked as well as installations in
alcoves and in one whole room. |

| The largest installation was an entire room, floor, ceiling and walls completely covered with images. |
This
is work you need to see in person...photos don't even begin to touch
the effect. So don't hesitate. Go soon or you will miss this
extravagance of art.
