Degenerate Art
Degenerate Art: The Art and Culture of Glass Pipes - SXSW 2012 Accepted Film
[“Degenerate Art” tells the story of glass pipe-making from Bob Snodgrass
and the origins of the “color-changing” pipe, to the radical emerging
art movement it has become today. Despite federal laws andevents like
Operation Pipedreams, pipemakers are pioneering not only new techniques
in working glass, but have also created a whole new genre of American
folk art. Between raw materials and glassworking tools, and consumer
demand for glass pipes, a huge multi-million dollar industry has formed
around this taboo culture. The pieces not only reflect the artists
making them, they are a reaction to the status quo. The work itself
challenges our right to free speech and expression, as well as
reflecting the nature of the people who make and collect the pieces. One
of the last true underground scenes, glass pipe art remains invisble to
mainstream culture. “Degenerate Art” will be the first of its kind, a
historical instant cult classic documenting the golden era of the
movement.]
AND THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS..
Live by the sun
THIS IS A PHOTOGRAPH NOT A PAINTING.
As National Geographic remarks
of the photograph taken in Namibia, "Tinted orange by the morning sun,
a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in
Namib-Naukluft Park." via.

Our friend, Charlene Foster, makes handcrafted glass jewelry and electroforms at our shop. See image above of a necklace she made me. So cute!

Breaking down the shop! It's been a hectic weekend but things are coming together. I'm trying to completely document the move. Lots of rack and ruin. Kinda weird to see Nic's section so empty...
