The Sinatra House Los Angeles photograph ($300) above was shot on Polarid T-55 (which it no longer available), a positive/negative film that is super sensitive to heat and scratched. Part of the emulsion often comes off when you pull the positive from the negatives which is what give you an interesting texture and element of unpredictability. Sinatra House is a limited edition archival print, 11×14 inch, in edition of 20

Dwell on Design LA 09

In 2008 Dwell created the Square Meal section as a place in which to explore the intersection of food and design. Beginning with the feats of gastroengineering found at Alinea restaurant in Chicago and most recently checking out urban beekeeping on the rooftops of Toronto’s restaurant, Square Meal has become a regular feature in the pages of Dwell.

At this year’s Dwell on Design in Los Angeles, Dwell is bringing Square Meal to life with a series of special food-related events and programming.

I have been invited to participate in a panel discussion on Sunday, June 28; “Meat as an Edible Gestalt” as a part of Dwell on Design. The panel will be moderated by Dwell editor Sarah Rich and KCRW’s Evan Kleiman, host of the popular radio show Good Food. Other distinguished speakers include Sasha Wizansky, founder and editor of Meatpaper magazine, and Neal Fraser of Grace Restaurant.

For more information on the 3 day Dwell on Design LA events as well as the panel discussion I will be part of:

Los Angeles, California,

Charlie Grosso’s recent album cover photography for “Affected” has been receiving great reviews by the European Press.  “Affected” is a new project by former Prick, Kidneythieves, and Zeromancer guitarist, Chris Schleyer. Drummers Garret Hammond (Prick, Kill Hannah), and Andrew Kubiszewski (Prick, Stabbing Westward) also contributed to the new album.

“I really enjoyed working with Chris on this new project of his. It’s always an amazing experience when you get to collaborate with artists who share the same frames of reference and tastes as you. It establishes a short hand in which you can communicate easily and quickly in.” – Charlie Grosso

Los Angeles, California, – April 10, 2006 – Charlie Grosso has been selected to be as a finalist for LA County Transit Authority’s 2006 Metro Art Neighborhood Posters.

She was one of the 9 finalists out of hundreds of local artists. Grosso was assigned the East Village of Long Beach and tasked with the challenge of creating a piece of art that would represent the spirit of the East Village Community.

“I went down to East Village, Long Beach and spent sometime there on several different occasions to get a grasp of the place. What strike me the most on all the visits is the there is no one unifying voice for this community.
The East Village is unique because it is so diverse, both in its residents and in its architectures. I wanted to create a poster that would exemplify that.”

Los Angeles, California, – January, 2006
Variety’s sister publication LA411 – an essential production guide – has awarded Charlie Grosso with its 2006 Cover and Tab art.
