SANCHO. 1549 West Sunset Boulevard Echo Park 90026

SANCHO. A fully realized yet ever-amorphous and adaptive Salon loosed upon this plastic Beige Age, SANCHO is both a physical and mental space where the alchemy of ideas, art, fashion, film, musick, photography, theatre, technology, education, politics, sex, consciousness, and yes, even souls are nurtured, challenged and allowed the freedom to evolve into something utterly original and wholly unprecedented. SANCHO is set to deliver a long-awaited flotilla of aid to bore-torn refugees from culture-parched battlefields the world over.

Consistently reaffirmed as the new American Athenaeum, SANCHO is fully-functioning organized consciousness greater than the sum of its parts, channeled through the head of honcho Danielle Collins, is a mega-media colossus of truth and creative power, simultaneously daring and empowering the public to set themselves free from the constraints and trickery of a false and limited, pseudo "reality."

SANCHO comes correct with its nerve center located in the historic Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park. Long a mecca for the mega-talented, a haven for healthy radicals, and a home for downtrodden poor-core leisurites with creativity to share and spare, Echo Park (see also: Echopulco; The Vortex; Vortexopulco; Echo Dark) is the perfect ambient accompaniment to SANCHO's unique and heady brew of inspired creative joie de vivre. One can feel Olde magick at play all 'round Echopulco's sun specked Elysian fields and windswept hilly climbs…Look! Do you see!?! SANCHO's outdoor garden oasis beckons you, mere steps from Sunset Blvd's soot weary curb-end, but a multiverse from the factory-beige facades of Hell, Eh?

SANCHO. We are Revo.

more ( and much better ) on the way soon. .  .. . . ..

I considered the possibility of volunteering at the MOCA Library. Briefly.

The thing holding me back was the consideration that it seems that much of the (lower-level) services at MOCA are provided by unpaid volunteers. In contrast, I cannot help but wonder what Jeffrey Deitsch makes at MOCA?

from http://www.blueskygallery.org/exhibition/caleb-charland/

Caleb Charland’s evocative black-and-white images in his series, Demonstrations, stem from a sense of wonder about the physical world. Charland was raised in a do-it-yourself household in rural Maine, helping his father remodel family homes. This instilled in him an awareness of the potential for the creative use of everyday objects, and how they might be employed to fabricate unique aesthetic visions.

Beginning with a question like “What would happen if…,” Charland assembles and conducts sculptural “experiments” by combining old tools, familiar materials, and the fundamental forces of nature. Whether an electrified skeleton key or a sparkler run around a toy racecar track, what we see in Demonstrations is a not simply a representation of his results: making photographs informs Charland’s iterative process.

“I first test my assumptions about the interactions of certain objects or forces,” Charland explains. “Often this leads to more fascinating properties than I could have imagined. As each image develops over time, the subject’s natural tendencies strongly influence my aesthetic decisions.”

Charland earned a BFA in photography with departmental honors from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2004, and is currently completing an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a Trustees Fellow. His work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and The Progressive Collection.
