A visit to la Revolucion...Galeria 409

On Saturday I got a chance to go check out the group show "Viva la Revolucion" at the Galeria 409.
In this show you can check out and or purchase work by Daniel Maldonado, Celeste de Luna, Castorena, Linda Saldaña, Javier Barbosa, Antonio Antinori, Paul Valadez...

All the work is medium size to small...some BISD student work entries also, which are very good....I was suprise to see the way the art was labeled, on this one..something I thought I would never see which was card pinned up by tacks to the brick ...as Mark would say it "STRANGE". I thought the show could of done without that..

If I was to pick a favorite on this one, I couldn't say.debatable.. they were all good..
Don't miss this show.. go check it out..
