The Downtown Sculpture and Assemblage Show takes place on these two Saturdays only: August 19th and 26th at Capistrano’s, 19th and Eye Street. I’ll tell you now, Bakersfield culture hasn’t see anything like this show, with the strangest of the strange coming out of the woodwork to bring you pieces of art dug from the very robotic souls of the Southern Valley, from the multi-talented depths of assemblage creations, and from the poetic industrial wastes of a city normally thought more for oil and cotton.
Broken robots, computers ripped and painted and fused with toxic sludge... Music from the industrial wasteland of San Francisco accompanies projected poetry from N.L. Belardes, Black Dog, Matildakay, Art Czar, Julie Jordan Scott, and the raving lunatic himself, Greg Goodsell—all in a freaky factory-themed film collage slammed together by The War Days Director; mini-films from Hectic Films, and the Cinema of the Lords trailer. Sculptures spawned from a whirlwind of glass, metal parts and who knows what; fused assemblages of sight and sound; lighted sculptures in a freaky industrial underground art motif that will flicker like your own neon-haunted dreams.
