Decaying, disheveled architecture will be the focus of Bunk Spot Gallery’s Total Facade, a joint show between Cincinnati natives Jim Swill and Ben Brown — the latter being a curator for the gallery and local art collective Bunk News.
Both Swill and Brown have lived in California and much of the featured work was created during their respective time there.
While mostly comprised of photographs, collages will also be on display. Swill says via email that the depiction of damaged buildings act “as a narrative to discuss time and mortality.”
Later in the evening (9 p.m.), Swill’s short film Burner Phone will screen. Free black-and-white posters will be up for grabs — first come first served — and if you feel like sippin’ it’s BYOB.
7-11 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29. Free admission. Bunk Spot Gallery, 544 E. 12th St., Pendleton, bunknews.com.
