Tiny Becca is an artist/curator/designer. Johnny Stitches is a photographer/curator/skater and master of an extraordinary online domain. Together they're setting off on a couple of big adventures: they're getting married at the end of this summer, and they're launching an art gallery in San Francisco's Hayes Valley tonight.
Fecal Face Dot Gallery is the offspring of FecalFace.com, the amazingly content-rich, comprehensive, multidisciplinary art and culture website. It's been around since 2000—an eternity online—and now greets between 11,000—15,000 visitors a day. FF occupies a unique niche online and in the "real world," chronicling and shaping the contemporary arts scene in the SF Bay Area and beyond. It's helped launch the careers of many a creative, catalyzed a community of artists working in various mediums around the planet, and provided thousands of people with the opportunity to see photos of my daughter peeing off the side of her and John's sailboat.
The brick-and-mortar branch of the FecalFace gives us all a chance to view in real time some of the art seen on the site. They'll have a new installation each month, with opportunities to meet the artists. If you make it to the opening, you'll see Kill Pixie, Jay Howell, Kyle Ranson, Jeremy Fish, Kelsey Brookes, Andrew Schoultz, Hilary Pecis, Tara Foley, and Maya Hayuk as well as Tiny Becca and Johnny Stitches. Even if you can't make it, go to FecalFace.com. between 5 and 8 o'clock PST tonight. There's a good chance the opening will be streamed live. I hope so, because 150 miles and a monster Pacific storm stand between me and the start of their big adventure, and I'd so like to keep an eye on the proceedings.
Fecal Face Dot Galley, located @66 Gough near Market, opens tonight with the show Welcome Home from 5-8pm. An epic after-party is sure to ensue—details on the gallery site. Bon chance, Sweeties!
Here is a "before" picture. That's Tiny Becca behind the counter. Paint's kind of lurid, huh?
In progress.
Further along. That's Chatty Natty with her sister there.
Johnny Stitches has been practicing his party manners. Button up tonight! It's going to be a wet one!
