Join us this Saturday evening, Sept. 15th, as we host the opening of Electro-fried Kinfolk by Scott Scarboro. Based out of Kentuckiana, Scarboro has one hand sunk in a Southern form of craft, the other hand made from an MFA in performance from San Francisco and another hand devoted to a kind of combining that we tend to see from German and Japanese and American improv musicians and visual art wizards, people like Keiji Haino and Franz West and more close to home in a way, David Hammons, three very well known examples of artists who, in our mind, walk through the world casting spells.

Scarboro's art and electrified home-made instruments combine a Fat Albert and Rube Goldberg meets Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs DIY approach with an early source of inspiration; memories of his Grandfather, who would often solve everyday household problems in highly creative ways such as Falls City beer can attached with wire to a mouth harp in order to remedy the lack of the teeth needed to play the instrument. Scarboro's jeetered up instruments deliver the salvos from his band, Monkey Boy, which has performed live for a number of years. Descended, in part, from Hasil Adkins, The Wild Man (R.I.P.) himself declared Scarboro a lost brother in spirit, shape and form after witnessing a performance.

Scott Scarboro's first exhibition in Los Angeles will, most likely but who really knows, feature kinetic sculpture and altered instruments while the opening could include a performance.
