| A few days ago, I sat down with the brains behind the upcoming “Dead” show at West
Oakland’s LoBot Gallery. I talked with Adam Hatch, LoBot’s owner and curator,
Derek Weisberg, working artist and former owner of Boontling Gallery, and Theo Konrad Auer,
artist and OakBook’s art writer, about the Oakland art scene and what to expect
from their upcoming show, the working title of which is “Dead
Spaces.” |
A few days ago, I sat down with the brains behind the upcoming “Dead” show at West Oakland’s LoBot Gallery. I talked with Adam Hatch, LoBot’s owner and curator, Derek Weisberg, working artist and former owner of Boontling Gallery, and Theo Konrad Auer, artist and OakBook’s art writer, about the Oakland art scene and what to expect from their upcoming show, the working title of which is “Dead Spaces.”
The show will divide the gallery space between eight curators from Oakland galleries that have recently closed: 33 Grand, Auto Gallery, Boontling Gallery, Liminal, Magnolia Gallery, Oaklandish, Papa Buzz and Black Box. Each will craft a “mini-show” connected to the central “Dead Spaces” motif. Expect past work from about a hundred of Oakland’s artists to rise again. After an opening on October 4 at 6:00 pm, the spirits of Oakland’s galleries will be resurrected for the entire month of October; I highly recommend you take your seat at the séance.
Just the skeleton:
What: “Dead Spaces” art show.
Where: LoBot Gallery, 1800 Campbell Street, West Oakland
When: October 4, 6:00pm until late.
Why: To resurrect the dead spaces of Oakland’s closed art galleries.
Cost: None.
