PETER GRONQUIST SOLO SHOW









Peter Gronquist faux-designer weaponry art exhibition, titled "The revolution will be fabulous: A weapons of mass designer show" took place in LA at the 1988 gallery. I'm not really a fan of designer goods or trademarks implemented into usual items, for example Louis Vuitton(loo-E-vo-WE-ton) and Gucci(GOO-chi) faux-monograms being used on fake Nike's. I can appreciate this event for its use of real weaponry and level of quality. Some have interpreted this show as a symbol of anti-consumerism and revolutionary. I can only say the most harm or slightly negative influence would be the humor of these high designer labels on now inoperable weapons. These pieces were also for sale after the exhibition.










ZEITGEIST

Zeitgeist, the documentary is a 2007 film, produced by Peter Joseph about the Jesus hypothesis, the attacks of 9/11, and the Federal Reserve Bank as well as a number of conspiracy theories related to those three main topics. I know this documentary is old but it still holds controversial values that question effective goverment policies and religious concepts. I wanted to post the remastered full version for archive sake. I'm not a believer in every political and scientific conspiracy but this is insightful. It contains links to every reference of evidence . It is exigent that everyone who has not seen this documentary should see it and of course those who have are entitled to their own opinion, beliefs and traditions. Aimer'.

RESIDUALS

I usually dont critique the work or productions of musicians and/or hip hop artist but finally I feel someone has ascended from the trend Lil Wayne has keep many of us auditorily 
 addicted to. In his ninth album, Nas has recently released the Untitled album previously known as the N**GER album. Although the previous title had rising controversy, reviews for the album have been generally very positive. Entertainment Weekly credited the album for its maturity as well as the album's ability to keep the listeners guessing. Andy Greenwald credits Nas, saying "In a summer of 'Lollipop', it's good to hear a complicated record that doesn't shy from grown-up ambition."
The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts selling 187,078 copies in the first week of release. The album also did moderately well in other countries, charting in Ireland and the UK. 

I never completely understood or grasped any concept of what Lil wayne was rapping about in any song of his extensive line of mix tapes to albums. It is very obvious in the Untitled album that there is poetry and lyrical message that brings maturity to the table.
