Time Stamp: A Diary in Postcards 1998 - 2008
By Julianna Parr
August 7-September 19, 2008
Opening Reception Thursday, August 7, 7-9 p.m. Admission: Free
Los Angeles, CA, July 11, 2008 -Julianna Parr may be best known as Craft-Captain, the creator of the weekly "Craft Night" at Akbar, one of Silver Lake's most popular night spots. But for Parr, making fun, quirky, creative art is a full-time job; she is also a serious commercial and fine artist, with clients ranging from major film and television studios to national advertisers.
Inspired by fellow artists who made a daily habit of creating art, Parr began creating a "postcard diary" in 1998. Now, 10 years later, she has more than 1000 individual, handmade postcards, with images inspired by everything from pop-culture icons to deeply personal events. Her new solo exhibition, Time Stamp, at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Advocate & Gochis Galleries, is the first public showing of this collection. Opening with an hors d'oeuvres reception at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 7, the exhibit will be on display through September 20. Admission to the reception and the galleries is free.
Proceeds will benefit the services and programs at the LA Gay & Lesbian Center.
