Ron Miriello, of Barrio Logan based branding firm Miriello Grafico, is launching his 100 Worlds Project with a proper opening February 18, 2011 at Jett Gallery in Little Italy (San Diego). The exhibition features 100 globes sculpted meticulously from salvaged and unexpected materials.

Ron describes his motivation: To me, the globe is more than a metaphor for the world, it’s a metaphor for collaboration. What began as a project of using found objects around me to construct the first piece, grew into a series. The series grew as I invited people to participate and contribute to create more globes. It’s been a magnet for creative collaboration with clients, craftsmen, photographers and designers…all who have become a part of the 100 Worlds project creative community.

We’re looking forward to perusing the results of this collaborative craftsmanship. The exhibition will be up through March 26, 2010.

Make sure to mark your calendars for next Friday’s opening of Cereal Killer at Subtext, which promises a tasty exhibition of breakfast-mascot-inspired paintings by Patrick Ballesteros. There is mischief in those eyes, and as Stephen Colbert reminds us, bears are not to be trusted!
