Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra had an exhibit called “” that opened on August 29, 2009. I think it did a good job of addressing questions like “What if someone from that book you flipped through a few years ago at Urban Outfitters just leapt out of a photo and onto a canvas?”
The opening was attended by Harajuku fans and models, with standouts dressed in the lolita fashion style. I dressed up … err … undercover-style, using a scarf made out of vintage kimono fabric as a belt. The refreshments at the event were dangerously good. So dangerous that I found myself acting like a straw-chewing farmer with a strawberry Pocky sticking out of the side of my mouth, camcorder in one hand, the other hand trying to steady it with the rim of a cup of plum-flavored sake.
The featured artists were (in order of their artwork as they appear in the video below):
