CINDY TOWER: Decadense
Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Cindy Tower. "Decadense" [sic] includes recent paintings of decrepit, isolated and condemned architectural settings. A fully illustrated color catalogue with writings by Charlie Finch and Angela L. Miller accompany the exhibition.

L.A. Machine Happens in St. Louis: The Contemporary Art Museum
The Contemporary kicks off April with a group of artists for the Machine Project. We can expect performance/installation art, a potpourri of happenings and probably big crowds. Los Angeles-based artist Emily Lacy will be working with ideas of physical auditory signal and temporal delay and will create a wellspring of musical environments. Drawing on folk and electric influences, Lacy produces soundscapes that engage the image of “the musician” as it occurs and recurs throughout mythological history and folklore. Some may go to the museum looking for some art, but expect the unexpected, there's something for everybody--technology, natural history, and literature. ...

Hoover Boys and Girls Club Paint a St. Louis Metro Bus
Stephanie Garvey, the Manager of Special Events and Marketing at Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club, and members of her staff gathered at the Veiled Prophet Parade Den (VP organization) on Saturday, August 15th, to create art on the exterior of a Metro Bus. VP Maids participated as a community service project, working alongside the Club’s boys and girls. According to Garvey, the VP den provided a perfect space, out of the elements, and grilled a delicious barbeque lunch for all.
Artistic Director for the Veiled Prophet Parade, Bill Griffin, welcomed the kids to this third annual “happening.” The kids work in the same creative space where the floats for the Veiled Prophet Parade (part of the annual “Fair St. Louis”) are designed and built. And everyone seemed delighted with the event and with the results of the work!
