Better late than never news #3- Abner Preis AKA Eat Shit Smile!






































Sometimes you can bullshit other people, sometimes, more often you can bullshit yourself. So i wont even really try to express some art talk in this, all the ideas that cant really be distilled anyway, no matter who is expressing them.
Abner is from Philly, i am from NYC, aside from the few debates we have about teams that neither of us really follow anymore, things go easy.
His show was a mix of art, people, and live performance. Abner has a rare way of mixing people up, not just the heads that show up to every event, but wired fuck off people that you never saw before, a rare talent in Amsterdam's fishbowl scene vibe.
His show consisted of a series of pen drawings challenging todays hero value system, asking the simple question, "why"? As well as "letters home from the war", by CRPL. Eat Shit, a series of sketches/words, based on real letters home from this fucked up sandbox situation.
