Dust La Rock “Joking Victim” Exhibition @ HVW8 Art + Design Gallery

Joshua Prince, aka Dust La Rock, makes his Los Angeles gallery debut with the new exhibition “Joking Victim” – an intimate, stark exploration into the themes of pain versus pleasure, free will versus destiny, fetishism, the occult and mortality. A true mixed media collaboration, “Joking Victim” consists of works on paper, photographs and a short film in which La Rock worked with a team of innovative artists to help bring his vision to life, including photographers Angela Boatwright, Kareem Black and tattoo artist JK5. The opening reception (April 14) will feature music by Jokers of the Scene and culminate with the Los Angeles debut of Bruce LaBruce’s queer cinema horror film L.A. Zombie. “Joking Victim” runs through May 8, 2011, with further information on the show available here.
