Much gratitude to Sezio for the review and insightful documentation of this month’s Liquidation Sale hosted by Set & Drift here at The Bakery!
Pop Zen and a Fort with The Vision at The Bakery in Barrio. Fear not, folks, this isn’t 2012. What may sound like an apocalyptic nursery tale was in fact Set & Drift’s latest collaborative event, presenting the work of Keikichi Honna and Wes Bruce, and including a performance by The Vision of a Dying World, hosted at The Bakery on April 3. This event marked The Bakery’s gallery debut… <more>
Update: Friday, April 23rd (that’s today, folks!) we’re opening up The Bakery to Wes Bruce to show the fort one last time before it’s dismantled. Drop by and get a tour with the artist himself.
A ‘thank you’ to all of you who came out for our most recent show at The Bakery — Liquidation Sale! by Keikichi Honna with Live-in-able Fort by Wes Bruce (detail pictured above).
Another thank you goes out to Keikichi and Wes, two very soulful artists and longtime collaborators of ours; Miki of mi-workshop; Jackson of The Vision of a Dying World; our supporters at New Belgium; and Brian Deppe, who caught the whole thing on film. And lastly, a very special thank you to all of you who purchased Keikichi’s work!
We hope you had a chance to explore the fort by foot but if not, peep some shots here. Voz Alta also threw a great show across the street, making it quite a night down here on the block in Barrio Logan. It was a pleasure hosting ye. ‘Til next time!
Update: Wes is hosting one more showing of the fort Friday, April 23, before it’s dismantled. Details here!

The following is a set of photos and musings from Keikichi Honna documenting his experience in Germany and the rigorous process of hand writting black-letter type for his installation piece. “Cunst” is Keikichi’s intentional misspelling of “kunst,” the German word for art.

Keikichi Honna, one of our favorite local artists, recently left California for a residency in Germany. Below is an excerpt from a recent correspondence and some photos of his adopted studio space.
I set up my studio in a cool, dark, and dump place, but unlike Cali or C-bus I don’t see long leg spiders. This was a distillery 25 or so years ago. There are a lot of nice old green glass bottles piled up here and there, and in my place there are about ten large ceramic containers for storing alcohol. (small ones being 30 gallons, and larger ones being 70 or so gallons)
I found that one of them still has alcohol. I just improvised a scoop, and took a sip. Strong
drink indeed. No taste, no color, but no charge. Free Spirit is always good, like a hippie chick!
attached pics of my dark, damp, and cold studio, and tea bowls I made to remind my Japanese heritage.
