Follow on Google News | San Diego CityBeat Names Beatles Art Show / Autism Fundraiser Their #1 Pick for Dec 28/Dec 29The respected Alt Weekly San Diego City has made the exhibition at Kensington Gallery their top pick of the week. " A Hard Day's Nightstand: Beatles Art & Artifacts and Avant-Garde Furniture" opens Dec 28 from 6-8 pm, and Dec 29 from noon to 7:00
http://www.sdcitybeat.com/ After last invading Kensington in December 2009, the Beatles return to Kensington Gallery on December 28 & 29, 2012 – this time sharing the bill with an impressive contingent of non-traditional furniture artists, all of whom are SDSU alumni and grad students. 100% of the net profits from the exhibition will support autism research. The Beatles portion of the show will combine art and artifacts, including an actual brick from the Beatles early-60’s Liverpool home, the Cavern Club; a speck of John Lennon’s hair (with certificate of authenticity); The first 25 people who attend the opening on Friday Dec 28 from 6:00 to 8:00, and the first 25 who attend the Saturday Dec 29 show from noon to 7:00 pm will receive a free Beatles candle, designed specifically for this show. Juxtaposed against the eccentric pop backdrop will be a highbrow display by the SDSU furniture artist cartel, including Erin Behling, Vincente Robles, Marcus Papay, Jennifer Anderson and Justin Kramer. No Eames knockoffs here – each artist communicates via the media of furniture, and each of the five artists approaches the art of furniture-making from a unique point of view. Using such disparate materials as concrete, plaster, carbon fiber, reclaimed wood and even mud, the results will change the way the average person views contemporary furniture. ***** 100% of the net profit from art and gift shop items will go to support autism research. Autism now affects nearly 1 in 88 children born today; and unfortunately, the epidemic shows no sign of retreating. The net profit from the evening will be donated to the Autism Research Institute, who not only fund research but also disseminate information about effective treatments for autism via their www.autism.com website, conferences and newsletters. ### “A Hard Day’s Nightstand“ – Autism Fundraiser , Friday, December 28, 2012 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Saturday December 29, 2012 12:00 to 7:00 p.m Regular Hours: Wednesday through Friday : 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m; Saturdays noon to 7:00 p.m. Exhibit closes on February 13, 2013 Kensington Gallery 4186 Adams Ave, San Diego, CA 92116, corner of Adams Ave. and Edgeware Rd.
