In a faroff galaxy countless universes adjacent to our own, there lives a race of beings known as Monsters. They once lived peacefully on their world coexisting with Humans and made great technological advances together, but the onset of war left the peaceful monsters at a great disadvantage and facing extinction under the sheer force of will and brutality from the humans. The King of Monsters, under great pressure of the death of his people or harder choices yet, met in secret with the great mages that once bridged the gap between humanity and monsters. In the end, a deal struck between them was double-crossed on both sides; what had been an agreement for the mages to send the monsters to the great ring that had since formed of asteroids and discarded technology around the planet, appeasing the aggressive humans and allowing the monsters to eventually return, instead turned to great tragedy - the King took the greatest source of technological advances from humanity so they couldn’t attack his people in space, sending them back to an age of the Industrial Revolution at best, while the mages erected a barrier around the Earth to prevent monsterkind from returning to Earth.

The King’s dark decision ended in his people being eternally banished to the ring around the planet, and was covered up by his closest trusted ring. The tale was spun to his people as being that they were forced to the heavens, but can return one day once they collect 7 shooting stars - should any pass through to the ring of Earth they now lived on. The Royal Guard’s purpose is thus twofold; to protect the royals, and to lead the search for and hopeful containment of these stars. Legend whispered amongst the people now tells that the shooting stars are not from further in space, but are in fact humans themselves... but no one knows for sure.

Though technologically advanced, monsterkind is forever yearning to know what the days on Earth were like where life abounded and both day and night would pass, where seasons occurred and plants of countless varieties grew, where oceans washed to sandy shores and snow fell like stardust to crest over mountains and valleys. Still, they hold onto hope that one day they’ll be able to harness the power of seven shooting stars to once more return to the world their people once called home.

... -coughs- i’ve been wanting to do an interpretation of Outertale Sans for a long time! the above backstory is what rolls around in my head, usually; i think monsterkind living in the ring around the planet would be happier than monsterkind stuck underground, but still yearn to know what the world below is like with it’s constant changing.

as sentries in the Guard for Outertale’s version of Snowdin, Sans and Papyrus would partially be expected to do normal guard and peace-type duties, but would also be in charge of maintaining the light gravitational field to keep everyone from drifting away. powerful gravity magic is rare for monsters here, so for them to be so strong with it would actually be saying something - Sans tends to shirk his duties still, of course, either selling space dogs or scavenging for scrap and selling weird joke tech products. Papyrus does his duties quite aggressively well, including setting up his puzzles to keep people from venturing too close to the old Landing Ruins, which are forbidden to enter into nowadays.

Backroom at BC Space, Laguna Beach. Laguna Beach, California, March 17, 2017.

BC Space has been presenting exhibitions of photography and other art since the early 1970′s. In countless respects, it represents a virtual vortex of heart and soul unique to the area and to Laguna Beach. If you have an opportunity to visit, sooner is better (the Proprietor, Curator and Head Janitor, Mark Chamberlain, is not getting any younger) as Laguna morphs in similar fashion to Venice, California (à la Abbot Kinney Blvd.). Call BC in advance of a visit, hours vary. 

NOTE: Mark Chamberlain died on April 23, 2018. BC Space is pretty much a historical entity at this point (April, 2018). RIP, MC.

Amerikan Krazy: Life Out of Balance | Exhibition at BC Space

Yesterday, along with my friend Henry James Korn, I attended the opening of the BC Space Gallery exhibition Amerikan Krazy: Life Out of Balance, and it was fantastic! If you’ve got time to see it sometime in the next few weeks until it closes on May 20th, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I don’t think I’ve experienced so much shock and amazement at an exhibition in a long time.

Sadly, Henry won’t be there doing a live reading of his new novel Amerikan Krazy every day for the next month, but you’ll be continually astounded for the entire time you’re there emoting over all of the work on display in an exhibition that is not only aptly named but touches on many aspects of the cultural zeitgeist.

I walked through the gallery half a dozen times over four hours and was continually amazed by new things I’d run into that I somehow hadn’t seen on my first passes, or I’d experience new emotions in pieces I’d spent time studying after coming back to them after viewing others.

For those attending, I hope you’ll notice the experience begins almost as soon as you open the door, it continues even for those who visit the restrooms(!), and it doesn’t end until you’re dumbfounded even as you leave the gallery–in fact, I was so intrigued that I walked back up the stairs to leave a second time.

I was particularly enamored by many of the Glenn Brooks pieces, a fantastic video by Max Papeschi, and the haunting work of Tom Lamb, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the gallery.

Below is a small sampling of some snapshots I took (along with a few professional shots), but don’t let the poor quality of my photography detract from experiencing it more viscerally in person. (Click photos to enlarge and view slideshow.)

  Here’s the original invitation from Mark Chamberlain and the BC Space Gallery in Laguna Beach:

Dear Friends of BC Space

…Here we go again, as go we must.

BC Space Gallery is proud to present Amerikan Krazy: Life Out of Balance featuring the work of over twenty notable southland artists.

There will be an opening reception on Sunday, March 20, MMXVI, from 1-5 PM in celebration of the Vernal Equinox when our planet once again achieves balance between light and dark.

At the opening, from 2-4 PM, Henry James Korn will launch his new book Amerikan Krazy after which this show was named and thematically assembled. Henry’s comic masterpiece picks up where George Orwell, Jules Verne, and Edward Abbey left off, and turns political writing into art.

Henry Korn is the former director of the Art, Culture, and Heritage program at the Orange County Great Park. At the conclusion of his reading, there will be a discussion period on how the original grand dream for the transformation of the former Marine Corps air base has changed from a public serving project into a corporate theme park, sports complex, and housing development that mirrors the “Founding Father Land” depicted in Korn’s relentless satirical novel.

Amerikan Krazy: Life Out of Balance includes work by: Jorg Dubin, Joella March, Stephen Anderson, Jeff Gillette, F. Scott Hess, Tom Lamb, Douglas McCulloh, Haley Blatte, Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Ricardo Duffy, Jared Milar, Max Papeschi, Jessica DeStephano, Lynn Kubasek, Glenn Brooks, Ron English, Dustin Shuler, Clayton Spada, Jacques Garnier, Pat Spakuhl, and Dan Van Clapp.

This exhibition will be on display until May 20, 2016. Gallery hours are by arrangement. The opening reception is free to the public, but seating for the book launch is limited so reservations are encouraged.

For additional information please contact the gallery or Mark Chamberlain.
