Bad Seeds & Dark Souls

New works by Joey DAMMIT!

Where: Gladstone Art Bar
When: December 08/05 to January 09/06
Exhibition Hours: 12pm-5pm Daily

Joey DAMMIT! is a mixed media/collage artist with a self-described obsession for pop culture, and the cult of celebrity. The intensity of his technicolour "manic montages” reflects the cultural overload of the landscape we live in. DAMMIT! is able to take the cacophony of sound, image and information and translate it all into brilliant, frequently funny, occasionally frightening and always fascinating contemporary art.

Got the clap? Email a friend

LOL: STD e-postcard

It's a tricky one: you've just been diagnosed with a dose of the clap and now you've got to tell your partner/s to get themselves sharpish down to the STD clinic.

Trouble is, you quite justifiably fear that the news will not be received joyfully and may earn you a smack in the chops, if not a kick in the 'nads. Well, don't panic: the LA health authorities have thoughtfully provided an anonymous e-postcard service which allows you to tell your "boyfriends, partners, ex's, or hookups they may have been exposed to HIV or another STD".
