After 3 years of working with Joe on various projects and shows. We all decided putting him in the fold was a no-brainer. Lots of exciting things to come from Joe in 2011.
According Strasser: “ It has taken me over 20 years to completely paint what I want. My work is mostly about using found material and placing it in a new context and giving it new life. This creates a certain kind of poetry with the found detritus. I also believe sex and death should always be present in a piece. There’s a Dionysian Apollonian pull of divine inspiration and the latticework of coincidence. “
ISM is hosting a book release party for Still Developing: A Story of Instant Gratification which features polaroids from bluetanner Joseph O’Neal, as well as Jai Tanju, C.R. Stecyk, andy many more!
Polaroid Party + Book Release
In its original incarnation, Instant Gratification was a celebratory tribute to instant film. The opening at Hibbleton Gallery was set to coincide with the expiration date of Polaroid’s beloved 600 series; a last hurrah on August 7, 2009. Instead, word spread. The exhibition drew an audience of over 800 enthusiasts on opening night in Fullerton, and a crowd of over 2,000 for the Los Angeles vernissage at Bergamot Station, Copro Gallery on January 9, 2010.
Now coupled with a limited edition book – which features over 200 professional and amateur photographers from around the world as well as 30 essayists touting the medium’s invaluable assets – Instant Gratification’s cause continues to expand.
Please join us in celebration of Still Developing: A Story of Instant Gratification’s release at Deyermond Art + Books, an independent bookstore and gallery specializing in rare literature, art monographs, photography, architecture and design books.
