San Francisco art show: Winston Smith, Penelope Rosemont, Dennis Cunningham

Pioneering punk collage artist Winston Smith is hosting a new art show opening next Friday, July 27, at his Grant's Tomb studio in San Francisco. Along with Smith (art left), who I consider to be the world's greatest contemporary collagist, the show features Penelope Rosemont (art above) who in 1965 founded the Chicago Surrealist Group, and sculptor Dennis Cunnigham who is perhaps better known as an attorney who defended the Black Panthers and the Weathermen. The opening party for the exhibition, called Insect Music: Surrealism, Alchemy and the Image," is next Friday (July 27) from 7 to 10pm. On Saturday (July 28), our pal V. Vale of RE/Search Publications will conduct a public interview with Rosemont. Insect Music

  I occasionally did childcare for Dennis Cunningham’s children.  I know that’s a big shocker.

    Ha! I was going to ask if you knew him. Same, er, circles and all.

      Actually, I’ve never met him.  But I made his children eat tofu.
