At the Trading Posts participants are invited to bring their ideas, services, songs, stories, unwanted goods, canned goods, handmade art, appliances, anything they think may hold value and haggle for something that they want.

TERRI THOMAS & FAHAMU PECOU @ Torrance Art Museum • FYI – The Reflective Gaze – Self Portraiture Today
January 16th – February 20th, 2010 • 3320 Civic Center Drive, Torrance, CA
One of the basic primary forms of painting is the self-portrait. With a long and distinguished history the self-portrait has told us about people, their times and their attitudes. They tell us of scrutiny, of desire, of ego and of the passage of time too, but they can also seem like a whispered secret sometimes, that winks knowingly to us of shared knowledge and experiences and has the added frisson for us of knowing that this is the artist ‘talking’ directly to us through time and geography. A great self-portrait tells you something of the artist but of ourselves too.
