You Call That Art? through - May 9th, 2008, LA JOLLA, Calif.,

The first exhibit, "You Call That Art?" -- a show on everything perceived as being art, or not being art all -- is a collaboration by completely unknown local wannabe artists; Rob Wells, Donald James, and Parker Siglin. 

The offbeat ambience created in this La Jolla studio/gallery is hard to find on the surrounding streets. As soon as you see the spray-painted limo, you'll know that this is no ordinary place. Just head up the alley and look for the (r)ed carpet and velvet ropes right next to the Asian restaurant's dumpsters. If it smells like yellow curry, you're on the right track. Up the fire escape you will find La Jolla's newest art gallery, Ed. With its alley entrance and front window art designed by the owners' 1 year old daughter, Ed, (who is the namesake to the gallery), it's definitely the new kid on the block -- and maybe soon to be off the block. There will be finger sandwiches and fine wine. (French, of course.)For more information contact:

Live Music at the MFA this Spring

 

SON VOLT: Sat, May 24, 7:30 pm
Jay Farrar has amassed a sizable and distinctive body of work since coming on the radar  with Uncle Tupelo in 1989. The Search, his fifth album with the Son Volt nameplate, is a potent reminder of why Farrar was, and is, one of the watershed artists of the alt-country movement (All Music).
