INDOCTRINATION
debut solo exhibition of Dante Horoiwa (Sao Paulo, Brazil. b. 1988)
VIEW AVAILABLE WORKS ONLINE
Under the skin of his everyday life in Brazil lies Horoiwa’s Japanese heritage. His paintings portray the spiritually lost and lonely. Through his work, from life-size paintings in São Paulo to the side of a 4 story building in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Horoiwa is able to cope with his want to hide from the world and his need to be a part of it.
“What I´m trying to express is some kind of ‘invisible insistence,’ invisible forces that are around us, things that lead us to a blindness and a lack of comprehension. It makes us drown all of our intuition and instinct into the things that makes us feel comfortable enough to forget our own imperfections, anesthetizing our existence, our individuality as a being...the invisible insistence that devours our means to grow." ~ Dante Horoiwa
Artist’s Reception: Friday, March 5, 2010 from 8 p.m. 'til late
Free and open to the public
Music by Chas
DANTE HOROIWA was born in 1988 in Sao Paulo, Brazil and currently lives in Sao Paulo.
At the age of fifteen, the young Dante Horoiwa began his career as a commercial illustrator. However, magnetized by the vibrant urban art scene in Sao Paulo, Horoiwa soon began painting the streets. Amidst the powerful murals of one of the most exciting graffiti art scenes in the world, Horoiwa developed a unique style.
Horoiwa’s Japanese heritage is also an important influence. Sao Paulo, in fact, is home to the largest community of Japanese people outside of Japan. Liberdade, the “Japantown” of Sao Paulo, is indeed Dante’s favorite neighborhood. Japanese culture, history and philosophy play an important role in his strong sense of spirituality, which heavily influences his work.
Horoiwa quickly gained recognition for his work around the world in Brazil, Australia, the Netherlands and California. In 2009, Horoiwa participated in Reflexo on Urban Art: Lines, Colors and Forms of Brazilian Urban Art, an urban art exhibition in Rotterdam, Netherlands sponsored by Caramundo.
Exhibit on view thru April 17, 2010 A.D.

Anno Domini presents...
ART OF ZINES 2010
featuring hundreds of zines from basements, bedrooms and midnight copy shops throughout the US and abroad.
We love zines… those little diy, cut-and-paste, copied-on-the-cheap, hand-folded, self-distributed gems that continue to surface because someone, somewhere feels the need to express themselves. It's that simple. Zines exist and fleurish outside the mainstream with no particular interest whether you're paying attention or not. According to Chip Rowe, creator of Chip's Closet Cleaner, "They're Tinkertoys for malcontents. They're obsessed with obsession. They're extraordinary and ordinary. They're about strangeness but since it's usually happening somewhere else you're kind of relieved."
Opening Reception: First Friday, February 5, 2010 from 8 p.m. 'til late
Featured Zine sellers: Marc Arsenault, John Bobst, Silvia Chenault, Michael Foley, Ben Henderson, Chris Kardambikis, M Undead, Yumiko Miyagawa, Tomas Moniz, Kyle Pellet, Mahoney Perkins, Louis Schmidt, Matthew Seigel, Kate Steward & Meagan Zupancic
Special thanks to: Davida Gypsy Breier, Cafe Royal, Cantab Publishing, Faesthetic, Gimme Brains Distro, Islands Fold, Microcosm Publishing, Parking Block Publishing, Razor Cake and TTC
Music & Performance: Adam Lynn, Zoe Boekbinder (Vermillion LIes), Corpus Callosum
Adam Lynn's "scrapbook-y collection of mostly melancholy stripped down tunes recalls a wide variety of influences from the raw end of Mogwai's catalogue, to the acoustic balladry of Nick Drake, to the sparse and almost-robotic piano embellishment of Pinback." http://www.myspace.com/theextras
Zoe Boekbinder is one half of the popular duo Vermillion Lies which she formed with her sister Kim Boekbinder. Her voice is evocative of jazz vocals music circa 1930’s and 40’s; in keeping her style she sometimes performs with a full cabers act. http://www.myspace.com/zoeboekbinder
Corpus Callosum is part puppet show, part performance art ensemble and part experimental-folk-orchestra. At a Corpus Callosum show you will see stilt walkers, instrumental oddities; you will hear lovely music and you may even be called upon to sing along. http://www.myspace.com/corpuscallosumband
Exhibit on view through March 13, 2010

Dr. Sketchy's San Jose launches this Thursday!
Calling All ART MONKEYS!
Anno Domini is proud to announce that we are an official chapter of DR. SKETCHY'S ANTI-ART SCHOOL!
Dr. Sketchy's is the world's premier alternative drawing movement. Every month, over 3,500 artists gather in nearly a hundred cities (including New York, Hollywood, Sao Paolo, London, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, and Melbourne) to sketch glamorous, subcultural models and compete in drawing contests in an atmosphere of artistic mayhem.
Dr. Sketchy's was started in December 2005 by a 22 year old art school dropout in a dive bar in Brooklyn (Miss Molly Crabapple). An artist and former model, Molly has created an alternative to the dull drawing classes she had posed for and now Dr. Sketchy's has exploded into an international phenomenon.
"If art class had been this cool growing up, 90 percent of Americans might be painters instead of lawyers and presidential candidates." ~New York Post
Join us for the inaugural launch of Dr. Sketchy's San Jose at Anno Domini Gallery!
Thursday, February 18th at 7pm. Come early as seating is limited!
$10.00/Door Bring your sketchy pads and favorite drawing materials.
Special thanks to Mistress Trina Merry & Master Drew Clark, our resident MCs!
