"This landmark exhibition celebrating the work of Greene & Greene is a partnership between The Gamble House and The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, and will feature 140 works designed by the Greenes covering the breadth and depth of their careers. The pieces to be displayed come from private and institutional lenders and, in some instances, have never been seen by the public. They include stained glass, metalwork, textiles, drawings, archival photographs, and virtuoso wood-carving and decorative inlay designed by the Greenes and executed by the master craftsmen with whom they were associated."

Sea Stone Vases by Mitsuru Koga; Tortoise; Venice, CA (show runs 10.9.08 - 11.2.08)
Mitsuru Koga on his organic masterpieces via Hustler of Culture:
"My creations come from the ocean. Stones alter their size and shape being washed down the river, slowly but naturally. My works are born as a part of the nature's current - not a thing is unchangeable there. That's the way I envision the crossroads of nature and human beings in my works."-----
Joshua Petker; Corey Helford Gallery; Culver City, CA (show runs 10.04.08 - 10.22.08)
Manuel Bello of Fecal Face writes:"Joshua Petker is a southern California artist who pulls no punches when it comes to cutting the shit right down to the bone. He spends his time suffering over canvas, diving out in his Hollywood living room, die-harding for the Dodgers, and all around keeping his feet planted flat on the ground. He has a style that you might not want to take home to mom, but would defiantly want to take home from a seedy LA bar. Seductive, scandalous, and downright hot in the worst way. His paintings are like that girl that you know will destroy you but somehow you just can't resist."
