San Jose, CA

What to do? What to do? What is there to do around San Jose during this crazy holiday season?

Christmas In The Park
If you haven’t done so already, head down to Cesar Chavez Park. Christmas in the park is still going strong. There are some great looking and decorated trees for different companies around San Jose, California.

Light Haiku
Located 1st and 2nd street, just south of San Fernando is the works of Artist Chris Eckert. Chris has mixed technology with ancient Japanese poetry to produce this enormous 650 square foot Haiku of lights.

The Light Haiku will be on display nightly until the end of January 2008.

Apoptosis
Is war and destruction artwork if it’s destruction of artwork? How do you feel about it?
Artist Taro Hatorri poses this question while re-creates various forms of devastation in his installation.

By using destroyed walls, wooden flooring, cracks, gaps, and slanted surfaces Taro Hattori creates artwork that speaks to our mind.

You can view the instillation for yourself at Space 47

Macabe at times, yet Camille Rose use of dark colors and creations that remind me of early Betty Boop cartoons have a voice. What the voice has to say is up to the gallery visitor.

Is it an angst against capitalism or failures of utopia empires. Does Camille believe that the world lives off of sugar and pills. That we are not truly alive in the world around us?
