SHANTELL MARTIN SHOW TONIGHT

Whaddya know, we just delivered a bundle of cute homo photos by Richard Kern for the Power Couples feature and already we're ready to report that someone in it's doing something powerful. Shantell Martin, the one who doodles on her jeans, has her first solo show in NYC tonight at Collette Blanchard. The show will unfurl itself like a beautiful flower or reverse Shrinky-Dink over the next ten days, and since we published a nice pretty picture of her she let us in early to see what she's up to.

OK, maybe we showed up a little too early. But we know it's called InsideOut InsideIn, designed so that what you usually find inside a gallery you'll literally find outside of this one, and vice-versa. Yeah, she's British and kind of can't help doing things backward—but she's purposely setting up a nice clean space that over the next week and a half will reveal its secret guts of light, paint, and ink illustration on canvas, people, walls, cars, and whatever the heck else Shantell feels like.

There's gonna be a Drive-in movie, a night of Hidden Oras (projected light interpretation of participants' auras), and some strings and songs and also a giant parade. You can find all that information here.
