We stopped by THIS Los Angeles for the opening reception of Gold Coast, an exhibition of new works by San Francisco based artists Daniel Gibson and Mike Bertino. The show's theme is around the idea of California, and the "vortex that happens between this kind of ambition and the illusion of indifferent coolness that bastardizes everything it comes in contact with."

THIS Los Angeles is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by San Francisco based artists Daniel Gibson and Mike Bertino. The show will run from Aug. 31st through Sept. 21st 2012, with an opening reception on Friday, Aug. 31st from 7:00 to 10:00pm. As the artists put it, "Gold Coast is a conversation between the two of us about our experiences growing up, and living on the West Coast as adults, and specifically in California."

And it was dripping and oozing this galactic raimbow sludge, the walls seemed to be melting, wait am I floating, WHOA- check out the babes, is that a rocket ship?? Who invited the rabid unicorn? Is the floor growing? I think its growing man!? Mike Bertino?? I think we took too much....
