  • Book Release: Joe Roberts, We Ate the Acid

    Anthology Editions is pleased to announce the release of the second book from acclaimed San Francisco artist, Joe Roberts, We Ate the Acid.
    Joe Roberts has spent more than a decade honing a deeply unique and unapologetically hallucinogenic style of art. Through paintings, drawings and mixed-media works, Roberts navigates a world of cosmic imagery, pop cultural detritus, and shifting geometric forms, bringing to life both the creeping unease and the uncanny humor of the psychedelic experience. Collecting over 100 new and recent works along with an introduction by Hamilton Morris (Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia), We Ate the Acid is the latest product of Roberts’ visionary journeys and a testament to his expansive, singular imagination.
    Come celebrate the SF release of this new book with some great jams and ice cold drinks. The artist will be in attendance. 
    Hours: 7-10pm

  • OTHER CINEMA: JOHN LAW: CACOPHONY + BURNING MAN + BLF +

    An opportunity to honor and give a hand to THEE man who’s been the beating heart of the radical prank community in SF for over 4 decades! Mr. Law gets his due recognition in the Fine Art world with a major show planned for Pro Arts Gallery in June. But prep for that expansive exhibition will require a whole lotta money and time, so that John can collect his materials and ready them for the walls and screens–tho of course he’s not able to work his neon-signman jobs for next 4 months. So, come on, we’re calling in all his friends and fans to step up and get his career-retro into forward-gear. John himself opens the party with a visual review of his major activities: Suicide Club, Cacophony Society, Burning Man, Survival Research Labs, Head Trip, Urban Exploration, not to mention his neon installations for the Ferry Bldg., Hills Brothers Coffee, and Tribune Tower. After intermission, OC itself steps forward with the best of its rich documentation of local and national culture-jamming and intervention art.*$9-$20
