Schultz & the Machinery of the Absurd

February 7, 2018 By admin

DATE: JULY – AUGUST 2018

Schultz has been an active member of the Bay Area arts community for several decades. A graduate of the California College of Arts and Crafts and former aircraft mechanic for the Navy, Schultz moved his toolbox from the warfield to the playground, designing the sets of Children’s Fairyland along Lake Merritt in Oakland and doing design work for the (in)famous and ultra-exclusive Bohemian Club. He later played a foundational role in what would become a working artist’s playground along 5th Avenue Marina in the Oakland Estuary.

His whimsical, hodgepodge style has gotten him shows at the Oakland Museum of California and Shakey Hand Gallery, but his most important work has been right in his workshop, where for over 30 years he has turned the once-crumbling alley into a colorful, exuberant arts community. His work almost always engages with movement, the idea of innovation, and an impish delight in blurring boundaries.

An energetic, carefree tinkerer, Schultz plays with the modern reverence for machines by unabashedly mixing together the functional and decorative, the mechanical and the supernatural, historical tidbits and poetic fancy.

Terminal Punk:
V Vale, Marian Wallace & Krusty Wheatfield

February 7, 2018 By admin

V. Vale, Marian Wallace and Krusty Wheatfield’s explorations of the teeming underbelly of modern life through zines, screenprints, film and photography collectively span more than 40 years. For the month of January, Classic Cars West will be transformed into a living archive of alternative media.

Never-before-seen photographs and original zine spreads by Vale, industrial music and film by Wallace, experimental bio-comics by Krusty Wheatfield, as well as punk ephemera and other underground artifacts from the RE/Search collection will be on display for the counterculture connoisseur and the newly woke alike.

See early work by Bruce Conner and Charles Gatewood, photographs of William S. Burroughs, Andy Warhol, and Genesis P-Orridge, and get up close and personal with the minds behind RE/Search’s Modern Primitives, Angry Women, The Industrial Culture Handbook, and more!

Melek Zertal’s “94612”

February 7, 2018 By admin

DATES: March 2nd – April 29th, 2018
OPENING RECEPTION: March 2, 2018, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

What’s in a zip code? Melek Zertal’s early spring exhibition at Classic Cars West Gallery is an intimate documentation of just what can happen in a few square blocks. The artist’s half-year sojourn in the East Bay will culminate in this series of prints and comics recreating what the artist calls “a sour sweet promenade through Oakland streets. So many iconic buildings and signs, so many people walking past them, so many different stories.” The intertwining of feeling and place is a specialty of Zertal’s work, which conveys intimate moments of love and distraction in a few strokes of ink and gouache.

Moments of emotional upheaval are layered over the backdrop of a city alternately eerily still and in dusty, shifting turmoil. A greyhound station, a crumbling victorian, and a messy room create poignant triangulations of absence, presence and dissonance. When asked to elaborate on the connecting theme of each story, Zertal chose to focus on the “the sad romantic ones for now, for purely masochistic purposes”. And when such moments of pain are relayed with a heady, pleasing mix of realist linework and dream-like color, one can’t help but become a temporary mental resident of the 94612 … and a lifelong fan of Melek Zertal.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Melek Zertal is an Algerian artist based in Paris, France. She graduated from Les Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg in 2017, following a long line of illustrators bent in two scratching paper in dark rooms. The illustration and comic world being quite small in France, she moved to California to see a different scene, meet and work with local artists and printmakers, and try to establish a connection between the two countries. Not at all to escape cold winters.

Her drawings are regularly featured in the New-York Times.

check out the #kickstarter for @popoca.oakland Wicheck out the #kickstarter for @popoca.oakland With the opening of Popoca, I’m realizing a dream that has been simmering since I first fell in love with El Salvador on a visit to spend time with my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The beaches, the mountain towns, the culture, the food. I loved it all. I decided then and there that I wanted to spend the rest of my life learning about my roots and the food of El Salvador. I’ve traveled throughout El Salvador learning old techniques and recipes. I’m excited to share this food with you. My hope is that, just maybe, you’ll get a taste of the absolute beauty of El Salvador.Our Kickstarter campaign will help us to realize this vision and to create a space that encapsulates it for you. One of the rewards is a dinner for two at Popoca, and we trust it will help you to fall in love with Salvadoran food just as we have. Our Kickstarter campaign is live and it’s all or nothing. We are so grateful for any support of funds and shares within your community. It all helps us immensely, and we can’t wait to bring this dream to life 🙏🏽If you feel called to contribute, the Kickstarter link is in our bio. Many thanks and much love!Gorgeous 📸 @aweilo
