HIGH LIFE UPDATE
PRESS:
artpractical.com/shotgun_review/high_life
Two thoughts. The first is from Art Practical's website: Shotgun Reviews are an open forum where the broader community is invited to contribute reviews and commentary.
Second thought: it has become the trademark
of lazy and cynical writing to label everything in sight as 'hipster'
this or that. You gotta dig deeper.
p.s. There were some follow-ups to this review which resulted in Art Practical expanding their editoral poilcy to include a Letters to the Editor section. Read the response to the review..
Sonny Smith @ Gallery 16, San Francisco
The musician Sonny Smith put together a pretty fantastic group show based on 100 different fictional bands. For each one of these bands he creates two songs, and an artist creates a 45 RPM record for the band. This show is travelling on to NYC.
> Winter 2010
I have made the move to Oakland! My studio is back up and running and is much much warmer than the previous studio. Hopefully that'll be good for getting in and working at night.
Best wishes for 2010. KK

POSTCARD
SHOW
Looking
forward to participating in The
LAB gallery's annual Postcard Show.
Stop by and check out a great collection of small work. Opens on
Friday, December 4th, from 6-9pm.
Work is priced to sell - from $1 to
$50. Lots of fun.
ON THE MOVE
The
studio is pretty damn cold right now.
But some nights the space heater gets cranked up and I work out here
anyhow.
In other news, I will soon be saying goodbye to this studio as I am moving
to Oakland. After 2 years working here, and 13 of living in San Francisco,
I am looking forward to seeing something fresh when walking out the front
door. As well,
the East
Bay's
relatively flat
streets
are calling out to my bicycle. I hope to be driving less in 2010.

MARJORIE
WOOD GALLERY
I
have collorated with the poet Ingrid Keir, contrubuting
some new ink paintings. Both the words and images center
around
the apartment that we share. See the drawings
in larger
form or
visit the original online exhibit.
Harwood
Gallery
In April 2010 I will be having a solo show at the Eleanor Harwood Gallery. Having worked with Eleanor when she curated the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery, as well as showing with her at the Miami Art Fair, I am excited to continue that relationship in her new space.

> Spring 2009
Spring is on us, and studio renovations are finished. I spent some time in Thailand over the New Year's holiday and saw a lot of brilliant graphic work - tshirts, fabric patterning, tour buses, at the malls. So I have returned feeling inspired and with the intention of putting that visual momentum in to the studio.
> Fall 2008
The back part of the studio leaks when it rains, but thats ok cause I just keep that space clear. Besides the slugs like the moisture and I like the silvery trails they leave behind on the walls.
Been going through a few months of making work and then wrapping and putting it away in a drawer. Now those drawings are beginning to emerge. I am looking forwrd to some surprises.
Would you like to see some new work? Yer invited. We’ll drink some beer. I’ll play you some music. It's chilly most days - bring a sweater. email me: hello@kyleknobel.com
