Taste II recap

A great video recapping the second Taste art event out at Meddin, which took place last month. 12 hours of art, music, performance, beer and mayhem.

Big shout out to Raabstract for spearheading the organizational efforts. Also many thanks to all the artists - KidSyc, DJ D-Frost, Hebermehl, Basik Lee, AFW, Cusses, Jose Ray, Dr. Z, Rrrrumps (who destroyed shit late night), Cousin Dan, Word of Mouth and many more. Also a personal thanks to P.Villa for the 40s on the back porch.

Taste and DTM

Two excellent art events coming up in Savannah in April.

Taste was the last great hurrah before the old Meddin meat packing facility was converted from studios into a state of the art digital production facility. There were artists, bands, live painting, suspension acts, a fashion show and beer - what else could you want? Taste is returning April 30 thanks to Raabstract, and if you want to get in on the art stop by here for more info. 
According to Raab:
TASTE is open to all genres, styles and mediums. We welcome live acts, 2d/ 3d, installations, freak shows, interactive exhibits, DJ's, musicians, live painters etc.
The deadline for artist submissions is April 1.

Down the road at Studio 2-Ten will be a show called Destroy the Masterpiece - a gallery exhibit of graffiti and street art type stuff that will open at the same time, meaning you can wander from Desoto Ave to 2-Ten (less than 2 blocks away) and check them both out.

FTR Winner

At last weekend's "For the Record" show, which featured a recycled record art show plus vinyl-only DJ sets, this guy showed up with his own record-related fashion, a spiked gauntlet and a tie. He wasn't even in the show, he just had some records and decided to come through. Nice work.

For the Record

 The closing reception on Feb. 12, 8-10pm at Studio 2-Ten (210 W. Victory Dr.) will feature DJ sets from some Vinyl Appreciation regulars. The show includes work from 20 different artists using old records as their source material. The show will be pretty awesome. The opening reception is Feb. 8 from 6-8pm as in hosted by Green Drinks and Cspot.
 Shouts out to Raabstract, Connect Savannah, Club One and everyone else who's put work into making this happen.

Artport heads to Miami

A bunch of awesome Savannah artists loaded up a U-Haul and an RV and rolled down to Art Basel last week to do a mobile guerrilla gallery under the umbrella of Artport, a quarterly zine that has been published by Raabstract documenting/celebrating work from local artists.. The pictures are courtesy of Jabberpics.
Check out more from Hebermehl and Jose Ray

Starland Walls

If you're in the neighborhood of Bull and 41st Streets, then you need to stop and appreciate some of the new wall pieces.
Adolfo aka iNope on this one. Big shout out to him for teaching the graf workshop during SUAF last spring.
This piece by Dr. Z had me bugged out because the pieces drip off onto the sidewalk, so from around the corner, I thought someone left a bunch of his fliers on the ground. Turned out to be part of the piece.

Video from Taste (4-4-09)

Just got the video from the Taste event that happened out at the M.E.A.T. building in April. All the propers to Raabstract, Josh Branstetter, Dope Sandwich and Insomniac Sound for putting together one of the nicest events I've been to in Savannah in a long time. Lots of great art, great music, a little fashion show, and then a dude from Planet 3 suspended in the air by hooks in his back swinging above the crowd. And all washed down with lots of beer. Bravo. There needs to be more freaky multi-media stuff happening here, and I'm glad someone is stepping up to the plate.



The Taste folks are currently hard at work on the Pyro Independent Music Festival, which will be less art show than Taste, but more live music on two stages on the fourth of July on Tybee Island. Bring your sunscreen. It runs from 3pm-2am and it's all only $7/person or $20/car (you know you can cram some heads into a car to get in for super cheap if need be).
