July 28-August 12
“By some measures, Mr. Keene [...] is one of the most successful artists in the world.” - New York Times
“Whether they realize it or not, most rock fans of the past 20-odd years, especially indie rock fans, already know the work of artist Steve Keene.” - Variety
The artist will be making his return to Los Angeles for his first show since 2016’s “Modular Synthesis” month- long stay at Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects gallery. The 2016 show, where Keene — one of America’s most collected, beloved, and affordable artists — sold 550 pieces on opening night and saw lines stretch out the door and around the corner in Echo Park, was the book’s producer, Daniel Efram’s, inspiration to craft The Steve Keene Art Book.
From July 28 - August 12, Keene will have a multi-room exhibit including new pieces and artworks from various private collections. Participating in the sending of their Steve Keene collections will be The Steve Keene Art Book’s Producer-Auteur Daniel Efram and The Apples in stereo’s Robert Schneider and Eric Allen. Plus, in much the same way that the book was curated, LA locals will be invited to post their Steve Keene collections on Instagram with the tag #SKartBook #SKartShow in order to be considered for having their pieces included in the show.
The #SKartShowLA will be held at the newly opened Palm Grove Social (1902 S. Palm Grove Ave. Los Angeles, 90016) and is being curated by Hat & Beard Press.
Come hungry - Metztli Taqueria will be offering vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Cash and card accepted.
