Punk rock guitarist Joe Baiza is a long time favorite of outsideleft, so we're thrilled to report that opening on October 26th, 2013 is The Mind of Joe Baiza at the Cornelius Projects in San Pedro.
Joe is internationally renowned for his innovative guitar stylings with bands' Saccharine Trust, The Mecolodiacs and Universal Congress Of... The one man show in San Pedro showcases his paintings, drawings, photographs and other ephemera drawn from his collection dating back over thirty years.
If you've ever visited his home in the Pico Union district you'll know, The Shack is legendary. Stacks of records, books, found things, art, music stuff, specific coffee tins. The things he says that supply him with a never ending source of inspiration.
Leading up to his show at the Cornelius Projects Joe said, "I see clutter as a complex wave of stimulation, a natural chaos that exists with sights, thoughts, words, when some people speak, events that occur, things that need to be done, natural/unnatural circumstances, ideas, dreams, sounds and so on. I can say that intuitively I've taken to applying this stimulation into a form of expression."
Joe's always been an enthusiastic supporter of outsideleft and our various things. Let's hope they found space in the show for that World of Ron & Nancy 'zine from '93 featuring Joe as 'The King of Pico/Union'. 20 years on, he still is.
We can't wait for this weekend to see a little deeper into the Mind of Joe Baiza. Scary thing?

HELP OUTSIDELEFT
Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
