Artists Maurizio Zuluaga and Martin Abrahams open their dual show "Deflection" at Gallery 58, 58 Coles St., in Jersey City on Saturday, May 17 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Mea Culpa, Maurizio Zuluaga is a friend of Johnny's, but his artwork is spectacular. It may well not be on display for this show tonight but he has done some work with 3-D art in the past that just blows one away. This is gonna be an excellent show for both artists. As it says on the website:
"DEFLECTION" /diˈflekSHən/ is an art exhibit conveying the unique visual and intellectual angles of these two contemporary neo-pop artists in a body of work that is beautiful and color strong, exciting and thought provocateur, sensory innovative and most of all, it's a profound insight into the human's exquisite ability to deflect and bend the waves to adapt and evolve in our times".
Be there, aloha!

Sunday with the Arts
Yes, it's time for a little high brow and intelligent yet soul searching time with the arts.
The Guggenhiem Museum is wrapping up an exhibit that sounds extremely interesting in the multimedia field called 'Haunted'. Haunted according to the website is a:
"Much of contemporary photography and video seems haunted by the past, by ghostly apparitions that are reanimated in reproductive media, as well as in live performance and the virtual world. By using dated, passé, or quasi-extinct stylistic devices, subject matter, and technologies, this art embodies a melancholic longing for an otherwise irrecuperable past. Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance examines myriad ways photographic imagery is incorporated into recent practice and in the process underscores the unique power of reproductive media while documenting a widespread contemporary obsession, both collective and individual, with accessing the past."
Exceptional. Johnny hasn't been to the Guggenheim since the early 90's but will have to head uptown and see this.
As a bonus, here is the online exhibit.
