Giant Robot is proud to host The Patterns Found in Space, an art show featuring new work by Mike Perry.

The Brooklyn, NY-based artist makes drawings, paintings, illustrations, magazines, newspapers, and clothing, and teaches whenever possible. His first book, titled Hand Job, was published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2006. His second book, titled Over & Over, hit shelves last fall. He has also worked with clients from New York Times Magazine, Dwell Magazine, Microsoft Zune, Urban Outfitters, eMusic, and Zoo York. Doodling away night and day, Perry creates new typefaces and sundry graphics that inevitably evolve into his new work, exercising the great belief that the generating of piles is the sincerest form of creative process.

The Patterns Found in Space will feature a mixture screen-prints, original drawings, and watercolor. Perry plans to make at least 20 pieces for the show, in addition to an original, full-color, 16-page newsprint piece to be given to all attendees.

The opening reception for the artist will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, 2009.

Giant Robot is proud to host Deharavath 2, a group art show featuring the work of Yukinori Dehara, David Horvath, and Sun-Min Kim.

Dehara's hand-painted clay depictions of debauched salarymen, brutalized gangsters, happy monsters, and other unique figures stand about 5-inches tall. Although the pieces are detailed and glossy, the subtle and intentional flaws of the Japanese artist's self-described "crummy" style project more humanity than horror, and are oddly sympathetic. His work has garnered a cult of collectors around the world, and is celebrated in books, stickers, and other merchandise. For this show, his subject will be "otaku."

David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim are best known for creating UglyDolls, the indie plush dolls that have gained a rabid worldwide following and sparked a movement of cool handmade toys. For this show, Sun-Min is preparing otaku-themed paintings and David is drawing a one-of-a-kind storybook--each page sold separately! (Parents and guardians should note that this is not an UglyDolls event, and will contain works intended for a somewhat more mature audience.)

The opening reception for the artists will begin at 6:30 on Saturday, February 7. For more information about the artists, GRNY, or Giant Robot magazine, please contact:
