Two Johns and a Whore
Coagula Curatorial presents Two Johns and a Whore, featuring the gallery debuts of John Fleck and John Roecker, two notoriously controversial and confrontational media artists, coupled with a group show by twelve artists exploring the literal, symbolic and allegorical nature of prostitution: Anthony Ausgang, Kelly Blunt, Sheila Cameron, Jane Cantillon, Stacy Lande, Louie Metz, Rafael Reyes, Bradford J Salamon, Oriana Small (aka Ashley Blue), Mike Street, Kelly Thompson, and Mimi Universe.
Curated by Lisa Derrick, this exhibit is a direct and unapologetic exploration of art, love, sex, and commerce.
Live music from Johnny Madcap plus DJ Alex Gordon. And fine wine and craft beer as carry-out from Mr. Ling's Wine and Beer Mart.

I am very excited to be a part of this show. I hope to see you tonight at the opening event. Many thanks to Lisa Derrick for including me and to Mat Gleason for hosting the show at Coagula. I look forward to many more curatorial efforts from Lisa. Congratulations to us all!
Here are some references I pulled when researching for my piece. http://www.buzzfeed.com/bbcamerica/the-most-famous-prostitutes-in-history http://www.iusw.org/ and of course Mary Magdalene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene
I will post my painting later after the show as not to 'blow my wad' so to speak. ;)
When thinking about whore's I of course thought of Mary Magdalene. Then I searched and searched for a "man whore" I found nothing. EXCEPT that Russell Brand used to be an 'escort'. Well here is my man whore RB painted as MM. Fun times!

"(en)Gendered (in)Equity
Congratulations to my fellow LA Art Girl Micol Hebron on her amazing “(en)Gendered (in)Equity,” project. I encourage all to participate. You can learn more about Micol and her project through Jancar Gallery or on Face book at https://www.facebook.com/groups/514330251981431/
Also check out the recent cover photo and interview of Micol with Carol Cheh.
Or Micol's web-site.
I participated in two posters for the L.A. portion of the project. One is a collaboration poster with Walt Hall and Susan C. Weber. Here is mine. Mihai Nicodim ZERO WOMAN.
Can't wait to see this project grow.
