MoNkey BiZness by Brad Bernhardt, March 24th @CELLspace
San Francisco (March 1st)-The first large scale multi discipline exhibition by Brad Bernhardt is coming to the CELL, also known as CELLspace, on March 24th for one night only. This genre bending show will include a focused selection of over 40 paintings, 3D installments, and 5 live DJ sets from local legends, including Syd Gris. The event will cost $5, and the first 30 people in the door will receive a complimentary original print. This blend of art and music will infuse the concepts of gallery and nightclub into an explosion of colors and sounds to enlighten the senses.
The exhibition is not just a simple art show: it is much more complex than that. It is a movement, a kind of enlightened way of thought expressed through paintings on canvas, a street sticker campaign, 3D installments, and primal, hard-hitting sounds. The work is meant to unmask what we truly are: primal beings trapped inside a world that rejects us. The intent of the MoNkey BiZness collection is to unleash the primal being trapped deep within us, so that we can evolve and reach our full potential as human beings.
