Opening tonight at the Goodfoot, Portland artist Klutch and his show titled Planet Of The Kooks. The installation is going to be about 30 feet long and made entirely of old skateboards.
Here’s some info from the press release.
“With his latest offering, Planet Of The Kooks, Portland artist Klutch delivers a vision both inspirational and dystopian. Via an installation/mural made entirely from old skateboard decks, Klutch has manifested a world where people’s trash has been reclaimed by The Kooks, into a space where flocks of birds and birdhouses hover over adobe villages rising from clouds. As protection from evil all are guarded by several primitive masks converted into elaborately decorated surveillance and communication devices.”
This is the most stoked I have been on a show in years and I really hope you can join me at tomorrow’s opening. The entire installation is over 30 feet long and includes over 50 pieces. As always Monkeytek will be spinning some serious dubstep thunder so you know it’s going to be fun.
September 25th – 5-11 PM

Ditto. I really liked a lot of the bird boards. Everything looked better in person.

Show was pretty good. The bird cutout pieces are $195 and some other cloud forms were less and larger mask pieces more. It wasn’t successful as a single unified piece but I liked the individual parts. The line quality of the drawings is very nice and it was a clever use of old skateboards

Uglier than the Inglewood skate plaza design.

looks rad, but art is in the eye of the beholder….

I didn’t go to art school or anything but that is ugly as hell.
