Who Is SND?

SND (aka Shana Nys Dambrot) is the luckiest girl in the world. Growing up in Manhattan, she studied Art History at Vassar and worked for Leo Castelli, Larry Gagosian and the Guggenheim Museum before moving to LA in 1995 in search of more open ranges, and since that time her fine art & design reviews, features and interviews have appeared in scores of publications including Modern Painters, Art Review, ARTnews, Whitehotmagazine.com, Kotori Magazine, tema celeste, Angeleno, Art Asia Pacific, Intersection, TimeOut LA, Juxtapoz and Coagula Art Journal, and she is currently the LA Managing Editor at Flavorpill.net and a Contributing Editor at its affiliate publication Arkrush.com, as well as at west coast bastions Artweek and Art Ltd.

SND thinks of herself as a fresher, more modern kind of critic than the stereotypical elitist didact. Her goal is to inspire a love of art in a broad an audience, using as little impenetrable artspeak as possible. See, the world is full of very smart people who never took an art class; they have the yearning and the capacity to bring art into their lives but don’t know where to start, and SND wants to show them. Her blog at Uber.com/snd is the most powerful tool in her arsenal to date; giving her a platform to share a kaleidoscopic range of interpretation, discovery, adventure, curiosity and behind-the-scenes access to the hardy and heady LA art world that has given her so much.

Bronx Cheer, Ghettogloss and SND style
Bronx Zoo at La Cita every Saturday until October
Bronx Zoo at La Cita every Saturday until October

"If you love live drawing, girls, drinks, or just really think apes are sexy, join Ghettogloss at La Cita for The Bronx Zoo every Saturday this summer. It's gonna be a hot one."

What am I doing these days? Well… I just got back from the Getty where Flavorpill threw another kick-ass DJ and (this time) punk rock music party. You’re welcome, Los Angeles! No trouble at all, really, it isn’t.

I don’t know what I’m doing messing around on the blog when I need to get some rest—have to take off early in the morning, hit the Jen Steinkamp show at ACME for a magazine and check out their newly expanded digs, then next door stop in and say farewell to the public part of Milo Gallery, shutting its doors and going private after tomorrow…and this is all just first thing in the morning on the way to the main event, hinted at above, the Bronx Zoo at La Cita. It’s a drawing salon with a bar and models in lingerie and ape masks out in the garden behind La Cita on Hill Street, brought to you by the ladies of Ghettogloss. The series will culminate in a Fall show at the gallery which I’m curating for them from the best Bronx Zoo results. Good times.

Then it’s the group show at Acuna-Hansen where my dear friend from Kansas City David Ford is showing, and we scoop him up and head back to Ghettogloss so we can survey the space for the political altarpiece performance we’re building there with David for the Election Night returns in November.

Then we’ll probably get drunk at the Red Lion next door. Great margaritas. Then I'll wake up regretting it all and staring down deadlines on Sunday with an ice pack on my head. Good times.

Happy Summer LA!!! See you out there.

Drink water with lemon before you go to sleep, it's said to help your liver process the alcohol.

Shana, sorry to hear about the FISA vote today. Obama voted for it; Clinton against it.

don't tell me you think she'd have voted against it if she were the nominee! that's just naive. anyway i plan on renewing my ACLU membership again this year and also on answering my phone, "F*ck George Bush" every day until Obama is inaugurated.

I've heard that argument. Just as I've heard that he would have voted for the invasion of Iraq if he had been in the Senate. Maybe to both. Maybe not. But he did promise to filibuster FISA and didn't. I'll still vote for him - McCain is a short fuse and should be kept from any triggers, but I've been sending $$ to ActBlue. Anybody decent running against Pelosi and Feinstein will also give a few dollars from me.

I guess I was hoping I was wrong and he was in fact different. Oh well.
