GR's Biennele 3 @ JANM



Gary, Rudy, Sunny, and I met up in Japan Town LA for the Giant Robot's Biennele 3 exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum. We stopped by Japanese Village and got some snacks, then head to the museum. They served a bunch of tasty food at the museum since it's the opening night. I got to try a grape infused tea that was super tasty too. The bottom floor displayed a lot of modified plastic and vinyl toys by many many artists.
The top floor featured artworks by Rob Sato, Ako Castuera, Deth P. Sun, Sean Chao, Eishi Takaoka, Saelee Oh, Albert Reyes, and Zach gage. Truthfully, I'm not familiar with any of these artists except for Deth P. Sun. I saw his works on a newstand that was for Jonathan Gold's breakfast event and it caught my eye. I was thinking "how cute!", then I went to look up his name afterwards lol. Sunny was a big fan of Rob Sato's work. He's super skilled and very very detailed. I'm more of a fan of Sean Chao and Deth P. Sun though hehe. Maybe because there are a lot of cats in their art and I'm a crazy cat lady! >;p
