“Space Cake”

Thomas Campbell & Kyle Field

Opening Reception: Thursday February 17th, 7-10pm

Feb 17th – March 27th

The show will consist of a month-long gallery transformation that will include installations, workshops, music performance and overall happening.

Kyle Field and Thomas Campbell will be working in and evolving the gallery space, transforming the area into a workspace and an art installation. Gallery visitors will have the opportunity to see the space evolve over the month long duration where Field and Campbell will be working on a semi-regular basis while staging performances (poetry, music, performance, workshops, and more..) on Thursdays throughout the month with other events to be announced as well.

An outline and specific dates and times of happenings will be released closer to the opening date.

ummmmm yeah,,,last month,,,the mattson’s and i (producing) got back in the studio to start recording there new record with monte vallier at ruminator studio in san francisco ,,,things went swimmingly,,aakaash israni there main stand up bass master came from paris where he is studying to lay down some sweat lines,,,ray barbee and tommy guerrero were by to ad some guitar and bass respectively,,,along with a whole host of string ,piano,and horn players…..the movement of this record is far more mature and developed than any previous mattson recordings,,,there are some great compositions ,,,one of the 5 tracks we got this time around had i think some 56 tracks,,,with guitar layering, strings, horns,multiple drum tracks,,,,,sounds really cool,,,,almost kind of new wavey at points,,,,,,so i think we will be back in the studio in may,,,to finish up,,,,stay tuned,,,,,yar—t.campbell feb 2010
