A quick taste




Okay we are starting to get hyped (pun intended) here in Narcolandia because the work is beginning to trickle in. For those of you who can't make it to S.F. on the 17th be or if you just need a quick art fix, here is a sample of some of the work taken in a poorly lighted area with the "crappy 70's instamatic" effect on my camera. From top to bottom we have prints from Ricardo Duffy, Pancho Lipschitz, Jose Lozano and Victor Rosas. Hope you likes. This taste is free of course. It's $3 at the door of Sub-Mission Gallery but I guarantee you it will be superdope.

Narcolandia is not going to stop the violence or the corruption or the abuses of power or the loss of liberties. It is only an acknowledgement that things are out of control. It is an attempt to make visible images that are being swept under the rug and relegated to the occasional report  http://projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/#/its-a-war As artists, when we don't know what to do, we make art.
