my good pals mel kadel and travis millard are currently crashing at my house getting ready for mel's show on thursday at the fecal face dot gallery here in san francisco. if you are in the bay area do yourself a favor and see her show. mel is not only SUPER talented and original, she is a skee ball champion.
 
 
Echo Test, the first San Francisco solo exhibition of new pen-and-ink drawings by Los Angeles based artist Mel Kadel, opens Thursday Sept 10th at Fecal Face Dot Gallery 7-10pm (66 Gough St). Kadel will be showing both large and small scale drawings in combination with wall painting. Arranged in non-traditional clusters, her drawings will display as a quilt of images, playing off each other to transform the gallery into quasi- psychedelic mélange of color and pattern. Works as small as 6"x9" and up to 44"x44" will be available, as well a specially recorded four song EP entitled, 'Stop That Dreaming', by Los Angeles band ((Sounder)) with original cover-art by Mel Kadel. The limited edition of 100 physical copies (signed and numbered Kadel) will be available at the reception and an electronic version will be available for download on Fecalface.com. Kadel, along with artists Travis Millard and Michael Sieben can be heard singing on the track 'Oh Darkness Looming.' ((sounder)) is the music project of artist/video director Mike Aho.
