THE PICKLE COMPANY UPCOMING: The Art of Consumption, a solo exhibition exploring modern consumer culture by Rodolfo Juarez, December 7 -- January 19, 2008.

QI PENG EVENTS Multimedia artist Qi Peng will be the subject of simultaneous exhibitions at IAO Gallery, model citizen (247 E. Broadway,
Salt Lake City, UT 84111.

A native New Yorker who now lives in Salt Lake, Qi Peng's uses unorthodox materials to comment, often satirically, on political and philosophical issues. "Combining the elegance of a classical music with the
sensibility of a punk rock star, qi peng sees art as a commercial
product to be executed by any means possible.
