Upper Playground artist Herbert Baglione collects his own blood to paint new bodies of work for his solo show in Mexico City titled, OBITUARY. Show opened May 18th, 2013 and will continue to exhibit for the rest of the month at Fifty24MX Gallery.

A few months ago, David Choe left a note for Herbert Baglione two stories above the ground.  Herbert who is currently in Mexico city for the occasion of his solo show, OBITUARY at Fifty24MX responded in kind and their long distance collaboration turned out like this:

Upper Playground’s Heritage Preservation Society in conjunction with the California Historical Society presents the first edition of Barbary Coasters. Culled from a fine assortment of ninteenth century liquor and medicinal advertisements, theater playbills and secret society symbology, the 4-coaster set pays tribute to the debaucherous era of San Francisco. Available online: BARBARY COASTER SET

David Choe and Estevan Oriol’s recent trip to the Middle East with Upper Playground concluded at The Pavillion, in Dubai.  Their 40 minute presentation titled ‘VIP, No Problem: David Choe and Estevan Oriol’s Journey Through the Middle East’ included a photo presentation of their journey through Turkey, Afghanistan and Dubai with additional commentary by David and Estevan.  A Q&A session was held afterwards.
