More about Bunny Redux:
The Andy Warhol Museum in collaboration with Playboy Enterprises invited over 20 contemporary and street artists to reinterpret the iconic Playboy Bunny in celebration of the opening of the first Playboy Club in Chicago 50 years ago in 1960. Known at that time for her satin bunny suit, cotton tail and rabbit ears, the Playboy Bunny served cocktails and glamour in equal doses. Many luminaries once worked as Bunnies, including Deborah Harry, Gloria Steinem and Lauren Hutton. For Playboy Redux: Contemporary Artists Interpret the Iconic Playboy Bunny, artists were asked to create a new look for the Bunny, a veritable makeover to create the Bunny of the future. The selected artists have presented a number of new takes on this iconic image, and works ranges range in medium including photography, painting, sculpture, drawing and video.

Beyond Baby Tattooville
Riverside Art Museum

Opens September 04, 2008
Runs through October 25, 2008


Members Gallery Reception 10/4, JMS 5-6pm, Public 6-9pm

In conjunction with Baby Tattooville 2008, Beyond Baby Tattooville presents artwork by over a dozen artists loosely tied together in the ambiguously-named "pop surrealism" or "lowbrow" art movement. This originally underground art movement formed in Southern California in the 70s and 80s and has roots and influences from punk music, comics such as R. Crumb, hot rod art, and various other underground subcultures, in addition to surrealism and figurative art. After being largely ignored by many traditional fine art institutions, including museums, this movement has recently been getting its due. Some of the most notable artists of this scene are a part of the show, including Glenn Barr, Dave Cooper, Bob Dob, Joe Ledbetter, Shag, Amy Sol, Michael Whelan, Tara McPherson, Lola and many more. In addition to the exhibition, the Baby Tattooville 2008 event will be held at the Mission Inn Oct 3 - 5. More information can be found online at www.babytattooville.com. A reception will be held on October 4, with many of the artists in attendance. This exhibit is a partnership between RAM and Bob Self of Baby Tattoo along with Billy Shire Fine Arts in Los Angeles.

Tara McPherson will not be attending this event in person.

Saturday, July 5, 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Martha Rich with
Tara McPherson, Jordin Isip and Jonathan Levine

The increasing popularity and success of the small gallery has created a need for new, affordable and original art. Exhibiting in a gallery is a great way for illustrators to expand beyond traditional forms of illustration and generate additional income. How do you take that next step into the exhibiting world and get your work out of the studio and on the gallery wall? Illustrator Martha Rich questions gallery curator Jonathan Levine and illustrators Jordin Isip and Tara McPherson about the challenges and successes connected to their gallery experiences. Curious about showing your work in galleries, curating your own shows or developing a new line of revenue and expanding your creativity? This session is for you.

Illustration In The Age Of Anxiety
Parsons The New School

Opens November 10, 2007


Parsons The New School for Design Illustration Department presents a new mini symposium focused on how the current cultural climate is affecting the field of illustration. The event, “Illustration in the Age of Anxiety,” will take place on November 10 at The New School, 55 West 13 Street, at 3pm, and is free and open to the public.

‘Illustration in the Age of Anxiety’ looks at how illustration handles times of unease and anxiety in our culture, from the atomic anxiety of the 1950s to today's wars and upheaval. “Illustration in the Age of Anxiety” will feature three conversations lead by prominent and accomplished writers illustrators.

"Shaky Line, Shaky Times: Ed Koren and Ed Sorel in Conversation with Dan Nadel" will feature master satirical illustrators Ed Koren and Ed Sorel who will discuss their famously anxious drawing styles and nearly half century' worth of drawings for hundreds of books and publications.

"Ben Katchor: Reading in Public" will feature MacArthur-award winning graphic novelist Ben Katchor, who joins Parsons as a full time faculty member this fall, as he discusses the difficulties of reading in an uncertain time.

Pop-gothic artists Camille Rose Garcia and Tara McPherson will talk to Guarnaccia about drawing on the dark side of life in the final session of the symposium, "A Light in the Dark: Camille Rose Garcia and Tara McPherson in conversation with Steven Guarnaccia."

Nora Krug, another new fulltime faculty member in the illustration department, will deliver the introductory remarks and introduce the panels.

The event will be held in the Theresa Lang Community and Student Center at The New School, 55 West 13th Street, 2nd floor, from 3-7 pm and is free and open to the public.

New York, NY

Opens November 16, 2005


American Institute of Graphic Arts New York presents PrettyUgly

PrettyUgly looks at the work of three young illustrators, Aya Kakeda, Tara McPherson and Souther Salazar, exponents of the so-called New Weird America aesthetic. Delicate and deranged, homespun and psychedelic, they are confidently situated among the high/low, illustration/design/art pigeonholes. And they seem to have found their place in the commercial environment without any obvious loss to the soul of their work.

Moderated by Laurie Rosenwald.

That's right. Our renegade group of rock poster artists have managed to pull off six consecutive poster conventions in less than three years, and now we are gearing up for our seventh. Poster artists from around the world will hit Seattle , Washington for FLATSTOCK 7, the bi-annual convention, sponsored by the American Poster Institute, dedicated to the promotion of music poster art and design worldwide. You've heard the sordid tales of deluxe poster prints sold to the general public by the artists themselves, now come see for yourself. Your favorite bands put to paper by your favorite artists coming together for the freak out in one big ass room.

FLATSTOCK 7 is free for all with a Bumbershoot ticket, which is only $18 per day in advance. Show up early and be ready to be overwhelmed with amazing posters (you might want to bring some dough too since you won't want to leave empty handed.) FLATSTOCK 7 is an all-ages event.
