Triangle.com presents: “Concession Stand” by Shaun Richards
Triangle.com and Flanders Gallery want you to be a part of something First Friday hasn’t seen before. We’ll mix the artwork of Shaun Richards with the music of Raleigh-based indie/pop/rock group The Rosebuds from 6-9 p.m. on Friday, June 3.
“Concession Stand” will feature pieces like "Appetite," "No Money Down" and "Constant Vigilance." You’ll have a chance to meet Shaun — a UNC Wilmington grad — and talk to him about his work.
Also, our DJ will give us a preview of The Rosebuds' new album, “Loud Planes Fly Low” before it’s available on June 7. And you will get to enjoy complimentary eats from Busy Bee Café. Their chef will prepare some special items just for this event.
As we always do, triangle.com will give you a chance to win some great prizes! Richards has designed The Rosebuds’ album artwork for a while, so to celebrate, we’re giving away a signed copy of the vinyl record “Life Like” and a signed poster.
On top of that, we’re giving away two tickets to see The Rosebuds play at Kings on June 11!
We're not done. Someone will also win a gift certificate to Flanders Gallery!
To be eligible to win prizes, you must register for the event. Once registered, you’ll be entered in a random drawing for the prizes, which will be held at approximately 7:30 p.m. Anyone may attend the event, but only those registered online will have a chance to win. Attendees do NOT have to bring paper tickets. Register below or here.
Make Flanders Gallery one of your stops in the June gallery walk and enter to win some great prizes and, more importantly, see some fabulous artwork by Richards. Check out some of his older work on his website.
Flanders Gallery is located at 302 S. West Street in the warehouse district, downtown Raleigh.
More about "Concession Stand"
"The idea for Concession Stand came about as I became interested in how integrated marketing and advertising have become in our daily lives, to the point that we hardly notice. We simply accept it. This body of work plays on the phrase 'concession stand,' that is, things we concede vs. things stand against, yet those two words together equate to a marketplace. These paintings are both reflective and somewhat reactionary. They address the psychology of being a part of this web: as part of a demographic, as employees, as an audience for film and TV, as consumers, all in all we contribute and we participate. My interest is focused on how this affects our awareness, identity, sense of self-worth, ethics and just how all-encompassing it is." — Shaun Richards
