This time there were two other galleries involved in another great showcase of artistry. The exhibition was a three night event that bridged the art communities of the Tampa \/ St. Pete area. The artists exhibited their work in all three galleries.<\/h4>\n<h4>Friday night the Lost Weekend was kicked off at\u00a0Gallery at 145\u00a0in St. Pete. Saturday, the crowd moved to the\u00a0Image Brewery\u00a0in Valrico, and on Sunday, the exciting weekend was celebrated at the\u00a0Silver Meteor Gallery\u00a0in Ybor City.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/imagebrewery.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/LostWeekend.Devon_.Tiff.jpg&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Lost Weekend Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.23&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/imagebrewery.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Stef.Trigprints.jpg&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Fullwidth Steff Trig Image&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.87&#8243; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; module_class=&#8221; et_pb_row_fullwidth&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;89%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;89%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;80%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Trig Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Trigonometry<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Trig Exhibit Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.27.4&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>January 1998 &#8211;\u00a0<strong>TRIGONOMETRY<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0a study from three angles<\/h4>\n<h4>A print portfolio between 15 Artists. 3 pieces each. 3&#8243; x 3&#8243;.

It is an investigation into the myths and scientific history of the narcotic mandrake root. It is also a further exploration into how meaning is projected onto objects and the collapse of possibilities. The root, which resembles a little human figure, is multiplied and dispersed to remote places: fields, woods, back lots, and roadsides where they may be stumbled upon. The multiples are, however, designed to disappear.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.22&#8243;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/imagebrewery.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Gum-Bum-Performance.jpg&#8221;

I planned a barbecue for the artists, so the first show became \"<a title=\"Flammable Art\" href=\"http:\/\/imagebrewery.com\/?p=582\" target=\"_blank\">Flammable Art<\/a>\".
