    Dogpatch Café and Art Gallery : Driven - John Zaklikowski.

    Review by RWM: Amazing installation reminds us that we can recycle mechanical objects that are in their own way incredible. This experience is like an encounter with machines from the future. One could surmise that they are artificial intelligences or the insides of robots.

    Comment by AB: Over 120 artists paint, draw, cut, paste and do whatever else they do in order to create their art. Those in attendance are free to wander about the room and watch the artists in action. All finished works are immediately placed up at the exceptionally affordable price of $60. When more than one person wants a particular work of art, on-the-spot lotteries decide who gets the prize. All proceeds raised tonight go to support Southern Exposure's programs.
