DESCRIPTION:	\nAmerican Gris-Gris & ORIGINS opening Receptions\nNew Works By Peter 
 Adamyan & Helen Bayly\nat Lopo Gallery Saturday April 9th\n\nAmerican 
 Gris-Gris\n...is a show about Adamyan’s view on American politics and 
 culture. Going back to the beginning of the America’s with an African 
 tradition voo doo talisman known as a gris-gris, brought here on slave 
 ships and carried on through southern culture and music, a gris-gris is a 
 cloth bag usually filled with small ritual objects worn on an individual in 
 hopes of bringing luck and ward off evil. Adamyan explores what helps 
 America sleep at night, what they believe brings them luck and wards off 
 their evils. At the center of this is the notion that we live in a 
 Christian nation, based on Christian ideals leaving science and historical 
 fact to rot. With additional themes of other major issues plaguing our 
 nation, such as immigration, terrorism, and all that comes with living in a 
 consumer society. He explores this idea with his classic dark humor and a 
 hefty dose of pop culture 
 references.\nhttp://peteradamyan.com/\n\n\nORIGINS\nFascinated by Mythology 
 and Science alike, Bayly's new series of paintings depicts a unique 
 combination of religious imagery and scientific concepts. She uses these 
 images as a means of explanation for a new mythological narration 
 addressing the origin of humans, their potential and their future.\n\nThe 
 Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be. Our feeblest 
 contemplations of the Cosmos stir us — there is a tingling in the spine, 
 a catch in the voice, a faint sensation of a distant memory, as if we were 
 falling from a great height. We know we are approaching the greatest of 
 mysteries. -Carl 
 Sagan\n\nhttp://thehelentree.blogspot.com/\n\nwww.lopogallery.com\n\nThe 
 show runs through May 7th so if you don't get a chance to come by for the 
 opening come check it out during the month.\n
