May 18th, 2007, Friday 7pm-9pm: Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is proud to present Something Good To Look At, curated by Michael Arata. The opening reception will be on May 18th, 6pm-9pm. This exhibition features two-dimensional works of art that incorporate collage, painting, and drawing. In Something Good to Look At Mr. Arata has gathered a broad collection of artists selected from the local art scene and internet relationships. The artwork includes personal narrative drawings by Johnny Lieberman and Fort Guerin; documentations of physical events by artist Michael Decker and Christian Cummings (Mr. Cummings and Mr. Decker spiritually conjure images from weegie boards); structured drawings which catalog art in the context of yearbooks by Jeff Zenick; and Joey Burns' work which utilize found images in seemingly random couplings. In addition, Michael Sholer, director of High Energy Constructs Gallery in Chinatown, contributes contextual and compositional collages. The work of Maura Vazakas stylizes state birds on linens with nail polish and glitter. This exhibition is an exploration of innovative art forms that engage in the whimsical, fantastic, and brutally realistic.

At the opening reception The Drawing Club (whose primary members include Michael Arata, Penelope Jones, Johnny Lieberman, Kevin and Luna Freitas) will work on a collaborative DUI (drawing under the influence of creativity). This is an open forum, all members of the public are invited to participate and add to the drawings, which are a synthesis of collective consciousness channeled through collaborative activity and cocktails.
