Ryan Seng Project2
I love bacon, but I'm not sure how much. I mean, it's crispy, salty, and meaty, but I don't think I'd wear it. Ryan Seng on the other hand, seems to have, well, a different relationship with the breakfast meat. Exploring this relationship with bacon and other subject matters, artist Ryan Seng features a collection of his paintings, drawings, short films, and the premiere of his latest short, "Bacon Man". Ryan's work has been described as "A little naughty, a little racy, but full of introspection and brain-melting", and tonight should be no different.  Adding to the introspective works will be live music from Whitey on the Moon, Astronout, My First Earthquake, and Kush Arora.  Whether you love or hate bacon, the Ryan Seng Project should be a mixed bag of sights, sounds and thoughts.
