THE GREAT DEPRESSION by Bill Daniel opening reception
Filmmaker, photographer, and artist, Bill Daniel presents “The Great Depression”.
Culminated from over twenty-years of work and cross-country travels, “The Great Depression” is a mixed media gallery show that has evolved from the on-going Sunset Scavenger project. The gallery will be jammed with a mix of Bill’s photography – from murals to snapshots, a mash-up wall of found things + friends’ work, a video projected onto signal flags, and some stuff that he’s been dragging around from state to state, waiting for a place to stick it up.
ALSO on SATURDAY April 4th 7:00pm @ Space 1026
Join Bill for a special screening of his epic and beautiful documentary, “Who Is Bozo Texino?” The black and white film shot in 16mm and Super8mm over 16-years chronicles the search for the source of a ubiquitous and mythic rail graffiti– a simple sketch of a character with an infinity-shaped hat and the scrawled moniker, “Bozo Texino”– a drawing seen on railcars for over 80 years. Daniel’s gritty film uncovers a secret society and it’s underground universe of hobo and railworker graffiti, and includes interviews with legendary boxcar artists.
The night will also include musical performances by The Extraordinaires and Sweatheart.

NNNNNOTES FROM THE ROAD
Today is the big day! It is the day of my solo art opening at Domy Books here in Austin, and it’s the last time anybody is going to be able to witness Sweatheart, Narwhalz Of Sound and myself as unsigned artists! We perform at my opening today starting at 6:05pm and when the performances are finished the contracts will be signed! Right now Dreamworks and Buddah Records both seem very interested in Sweatheart. Dr. Phil Records is the highest bidder for Narwhalz Of Sounds first vinyl full length. And I am thinking about taking Sub Plop up on their offer. We will see, we will see. Stay tuned.

NNNNOTES FROM THE ROAD
We played Birmingham on Tuesday night at Greencup Books. The first floor of Greencup Books is a huge room full of new and used books. The second floor is a huge empty room with a stage. The room looks like it could hold 300 to 500 hundred people. So when each of us performed we performed for 500 people, even though there were only 8 people in the room. To quote what Narwhalz Of Sound said to the crowd that night, “I don’t care if I’m just playing to 5 people or 10 people, I’m going to give you my A+ show!” It is important to remember that you are performing for the people that showed up, not the people that didn’t show up. So don’t half heart it. It isn’t the fault of the 8 people that showed that the other 492 people neglected to come. Now go all the way live and give the crowd of 8 all you got and hope you move them so much that they buy $500. of merch a piece.

A counterpoint of the divergent tendencies that make contemporary art simultaneously brilliant and brutal, Seriously Stupid brings together a broad range of visual provocateurs from the multivarious fields of comics, conceptualism, painting, sculpture and skate culture. By contrasting and collapsing the problematic boundaries by which we separate the intellectual and intentionally moronic tendencies inherent in picture-making today, we understand that both are legitimate responses to the complexities of our modern world, and each offers some quotient of sympathy and understanding for the dysfunction of our collapsing empire. For the super-smart and inebriate alike, this is art to get in a brawl over for no other reason than the make-up sex after will be the best you ever had.
