07:14 pm - New Ron English Hardcover Book Ron English, who we covered in Vol.2 of Hi-Fructose, has just released his first comprehensive hardcover book! Ron English: Abject Expressionism Introduction by Morgan Spurlock Book designed by Attaboy Published by Last Gasp. 200+ pages. Full color. Ron English has been called the Robin Hood of Madison Avenue for his seminal work in billboard subvertising and is widely considered to be a founding member of the Culture Jamming movement. "Abject Expressionism" is a comprehensive survey covering 20 years of English's career, from staged photography to neo-surrealist oil paintings to street art. English's work often involves "liberating" commercial billboards with his own messages: he wrangles carefully created corporate iconographies so they are metaphorically turned upside down, used against the corporations they are meant to represent. English's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including Paris' MOCA and NYC's Whitney. An important look at the work of an artist who has been at the forefront of activist art movements in photography, painting and underground music. Hardcover, color. Order from Yumfactory.com here: http://www.yumfactory.com/ronenglish.html and available thru Last Gasp

11:02 am - December Disaster for Golen Galery before: after: Thanks for the heads up from Bear and Bird Gallery about the Howard Golen Gallery Fire disaster. We just adore the Howard Golen, it owner, its beautiful lounge and art collection and gallery space.(we featured their opening event in vol.6 of Hi-Fructose, too). It's only been open for 3 months in Miami and has already exhibited great shows in a perfect environment. Seems like much of Scot Olsen's solo show was lost, as well as other great works. We wish all the best to all hit by this and encourage you to purchase prints from the artist at his site of the new work. We'll keep you updated on the Golen Gallery, news and how to help if possible. From Bear and Bird: Hundreds of amazing and beautiful lowbrow paintings and artwork were destroyed this morning when a fire broke out in Miami Wynwood Art District's "Harold Golen Gallery" (http://haroldgolengallery.com/) - the current exhibition was especially important due to the international art fair Art Basel, which wrapped up this past Sunday. Among the paintings that were lost are the work of Ron English, Tim Biskup, Niagara, Mars One and most notably Skot Olsen. The now destroyed show was called "Subjective Reality" and featured at its center ALL of the new neo-psychedelic artwork of Skot Olsen, which has taken years to complete. Destroyed in the fire were a dozen paintings by this lowbrow/pop surrealist artist who unveiling his new direction and more realistic painting style at Art Basel show this weekend. All that remains of his work are a few prints available on the artists website: Saint Psilocybe & Saint Elyse's Epiphany. http://www.skotolsen.com/purchase/prints.php Obviously, Skot Olsen is shocked and heartbroken and could use any support that the art community can muster. A year of work down the toilet! :-o Also news coverage at: http://www3.wsvn.com/news/articles/local/MI70321/ http://www.local10.com/news/14821045/detail.html and sure to be ongoing throughout the day. -atta and annie

11:44 am - Vol.6 is go go go and Updater So Vol.6 has been in stores, so look for it if you haven't found it already. To Our subscribers: If you haven't received your copy yet, please don't fret. We have yet to find a subscriber service that will send your copies out in 28 pound first class envelopes the way that we do. (most mags send sub. copies out with awful damaging stickers, right on the cover, and issues are often folded and smashed into mail boxes, unprotected and nekkid). We've hired help, but still send out 1700 of them in gigantic batches, in nice ($$) envelopes instead, so please be patient. And please avoid emailing for at least another week about missing issues, sometimes mail takes longer in say Hawaii or Spain, where mail carriers go on holiday without replacements often. We promise to get you your copies in the mail as fast as we can . We won't forget about you. and thanks to everyone for subscribing and picking up copies at stores. Our circulation grew dramatically in the past year, and we're adding new retailers everyday. For those looking for back issues: we still have a few cases of Volume 1. and below are places that as of last week, had copies of vol.5. Other back issues are few and far between to find (except on places like ebay). Bitters & Sweets: There's still some great original art from Hi-Fructose featured artists available from the show, so be sure to check out: http://www.g1988bittersandsweets.blogspot.com/ and we know Vol.6 cover artist Yoko d'holbachie sent a few great affordable signed and numbered Giclee prints as well we're trying to get online for her new fans. Thanks to you all and happy Tom Hanks Taking Day. atta and annie
