The Bitters 2: We’re Fucked
February 23rd – April 14th, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, February 23rd, 7-10pm
 

In times of cynicism, disgust and hopelessness, we look for outlets to express our frustrations, as well as our aspirations for action and change. We decided to take one of our favorite exhibitions and reboot it in this current time of disillusionment and subjective truth.  The Bitters 2: We’re Fucked explores how we currently cope with lies, greed, conflict, inequality, and paranoia – with all the sarcasm, and overall disenchantment that made the first The Bitters exhibition so satisfying. 

While all ages are welcome, please know this exhibition might make you laugh, make you uncomfortable or even straight up make you angry. Not all work may be appropriate for young or sensitive viewers. 

Exhibiting artists:

Vanessa Motano
E.J. Cobb
Michael Polakowski

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

The work of Artist R.L. Gibson is to appear in the Lunch Ticket Journal!… a wonderful way to start
the “Thankful” holidays!

“Dear R.L. Gibson,  It is with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome you into the Lunch Ticket Literary Family. We receive a number of strong submissions each viewing period and choose the works we feel strongly represent Lunch Ticket’s Mission, while showcasing great talent and skill. We are so very excited to reproduce your collection, ‘Do I Know You?‘ — A Xerography Series.”

Thanks for the love, Lunch Ticket –a literary & art journal from the MFA community at Antioch University Los Angeles. I am looking forward to seeing my work among these pages.  As an English major with a concentration in Composition, this artist is particularly pleased to be included.  Be sure to check out their current issue.

3…2…1… Three acceptance letters spanning two bodies of work in one week puts such a smile on my face.  Thanks again.

Happy Holidays!
