HAPPY is pleased to present “Never Odd or Even”, an exhibition of new work by Jim Gentry. Gentry uses image and language to lure the viewer into his “drawings” of birds. Creating idiosyncratic gestures with sewn thread and contrasting this erratic style with subversive and stealth messages, Gentry’s seemingly innocent works are at once contemplative and visually arresting; static victims of the artist’s hand yet ultimately uplifting. Gentry’s subjects are manipulating in their simplistic beauty: soaring, dripping, electric and almost sculptural.
Showing in Happy’s closet is “Cut Back”, a site-specific installation by Leia Jervert. Jervert creates a life size hedge, composed of leftover material - refuse, odds and ends, scraps, things that were cut away in the past - to form an ornamental sculpture. What was once discarded will now be incorporated in the construction of something new. Where the hedge becomes unruly, viewers are encouraged to gently prune Jervert’s bittersweet reminder of what is lost and how to come to terms with it.

It's here, and it's "AN ELLE OF A SHOW" (TIME Magazine). The hilarious MGM film has become a smash hit stage musical, and now LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is celebrating its Los Angeles Premiere at the Pantages Theatre for four weeks only, August 12-September 6. LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn't take "no" for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more "serious," Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law.
