I really like Robyn Hasty/ Imminent Disaster's street work, and now she's embarking on a new photography-based project called Homeland.

'In short, Homeland is a cross country Wet-Plate Collodion photo-essay documenting the grassroots efforts to rebuild life after the collapse of the American economy.

Cities such as New Orleans, Detroit, Pittsburgh and NYC will be documented, as well as many smaller towns and rural areas in between. The range of projects documented will include urban farms, bicycle collectives, off-the grid homes, alternative fuel producers, art and theatre collectives, community dinners, free schools and after-school programs, squats, itinerants, tent cities and many other grassroots social practices.

She has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the project, with some great rewards available for the backers.

I'm a huge fan of Imminent Disaster's work; these hand-cut pieces are incredibly detailed - it's really amazing to see in person. She has a new very-limited print edition ('Laura reclining') and some original work available; check out her website for details.

So many great artists in one show.
Asbestos & Bumblebee's work was as wonderful as I hoped; the surprise for me was how incredible Imminent Disaster's work is in person - photos don't do it justice at all.
Try to see it if you can

See lots more photos here

The show also includes Cena7, Fefe Talavera, Labrona & Oddzoo.
It runs at the Carmichael Gallery until July 2 - details here

Two great upcoming shows at the Carmichael Gallery in Los Angeles, opening Thursday June 4th - Know Hope and a group show featuring Asbestos, Bumblebee, Cena7, Fefe Talavera, Imminent Disaster, Labrona, Oddzoo.
