![]() Winter Falls in LAWet ‘n’ Wild Winter Falls in LA MegaGlo Highlighting Powder ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a pale, warm white with a pearl that shifted from green to blue paired with a metallic finish. The consistency was soft, smooth, and blendable without being too firmly not too softly pressed in the pan. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and diffused easily along the edges. The highlighter gave a noticeable sheen on my skin but did not accentuate my skin’s natural texture. This shade lasted well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

It is our intention to highlight the talents of local musicians, whether veterans to the industry or newcomers. Like the bands, the album can be fresh or something we just haven’t had the power to take off repeat in the past few months. Check out previous entries in the series here. Memories are fleeting, as is life itself — a blitz of people, places, thoughts and feelings rushing past. Some linger and some are a flash in the pan, yet all is against the grains of time. Denver-producer (by way of Grand Rapids, Michigan) Norty, processes such a progression through life’s many moments in his free-fall of an electronic album, The Years Are Fleeting. The album, teetering between a quiet desperation and a raw vulnerability speaks on time and emotion through distorted vocals, rapturous drops and an instability you simply cannot shake. Grandmaster Flash famously rapped, “don’t push me ’cause I’m close to the edge,” but he’d probably never met the electronic producer who willfully goads the listener to tempt fate — casually creating an album that cartwheels on the brink. Norty (aka Kyle Norton) is fresh-faced in the Denver music scene but has been releasing material under the pseudonym since 2013. A skillful producer already, The Years Are Fleeting delves deep into his edge as a songwriter — aptly capturing his ability to maneuver effectively across the erratic productions he crafts. Sounding like a cross between Flume and NVDES, Norty’s sound is urgent and startling in its sound design and production. Likewise, the project separates itself from other electronic projects in its use of live instrumentation. From horns to frantic guitar riffs and saloon-sounding keys, the album incorporates a plethora of sounds but somehow boils them down into the sleekly cohesive album that it is. Opening track “Intro: Alright,” sees Norton’s voice seductively piloting across a driving bass groove as a current of yelled “alights” surges beneath. The track is a triumphant cry of “being old enough to call [something] a problem,” but straight-up refusing to do so. From there, Norty careens across the punk-trap banger “Alien Eyes.” The song, in particular, is an indelible earworm that shines with a starry-eyed beauty before pummeling the listener with a rowdy drop. The mesmerizing track “Fox” swelters and suffocates to the ringing of bells and a propulsive kick where Norton sings, “tell me you don’t want me — I want it all again,” as he floats above memories and dreams unable to separate them. Elsewhere, on a highlight of the album — “When You’re Around” featuring vocalist Martez Claybren — Norton goes off the deep end across anxiety-inducing synths and a drop that plummets into a manic hysteria. Although it is a volatile ride, The Years Are Fleeting is nothing short of thrilling. With more twists and turns than an M. Night Shyamalan film, The Years Are Fleeting quite literally sucks you into the rollercoaster of its emotional core. It’s an electronic album for the adrenaline junkie — consistently pushing the production envelope with each consecutive track. At its best, The Years Are Fleeting is a hollowed out sonic joyride bursting with confidence and inspiration. Though Norton balances on the brink, he’s surefooted, trusting in his musical intuition to carry his wild ideas to fruition. It is an anxious album of thrills and spills held together by the threat of running out of time as the world move around you. The joy is never knowing if it’s coming together or falling apart. via https://303magazine.com/2018/08/local-listen-14/ The element of surprise is often foundational to performance art. Street performances or flash mobs that start unexpectedly in a public setting are the best examples of this, though as those become more commonplace, other ways of surprising onlookers are explored. Black Cube — a local “nomadic” museum — thrives on the element of surprise. Since the exhibitions Black Cube curates are almost always site-specific, each one presents viewers and artists a chance to step beyond the normal bounds of experiencing art and into the realm of the unknown. The unknown, though it can be a scary place, is also a space for reinvention, creativity and ingenuity. Black Cube has enjoyed a busy summer, including the third installment of the Drive-In series, a site-specific piece about border-relations in Texas and directing and organizing the Happy City transformation. But their newest endeavor has been an exchange program with the Centre for Contemporary Art FUTURA in Prague, where Denver artist Devon Dikeou is currently participating in a residency. But, Denver didn’t just give Dikeou to Prague, we are receiving a Czech artist in return — Jiří Kovanda, an internationally recognized performance artist. Kovanda will come to Denver in September for his first American exhibition outside of New York City. The exhibition, titled All the Birds of North America is exceptional for more reasons than that, however. Even though the artist has some framework to plan his performance art, the major element of surprise for him and for viewers is that the actual location will only be revealed a day before the exhibition is to take place. All the Birds of North America will be open to the public Wednesday, September 12 through Saturday, September 15, with the reveal happening on Wednesday morning through Black Cube’s Instagram. As part of the exchange, Michal Novotný, curator and director at Centre for Contemporary Art FUTURA, chose the location in Denver. According to the press release, “by exposing the artist to an entirely different climate than his home city of Prague, Novotný is interested to see how Kovanda responds to the site and city in real time…without any foreknowledge or preparation.” ![]() Jiří Kovanda during one of his performance pieces. Photo courtesy of Jiří Kovanda on Facebook “This project will be openly fanciful and imaginary, more sentimental than realistic,” says Novotný. “With this site-specific project, we also tried to create the most picturesque American scene for Jiří to work with, something relatable to travel, freedom, and the open landscape — like those yellow turning leaves from the cover for All the Birds of North America atlas. Just as Jiří Kovanda did in his early performances, this exhibition relates to our inner freedom, the deep inner-self that cannot be controlled by anyone.” Kovanda’s performance art has interested people in the Czech Republic and central-eastern Europe for decades. Though the artist often creates subtle performances that touch on the ephemeral parts of life — like Kissing Through Glass at the Tate in London in 2007 — he is also known for his politics and opinions. As a self-taught artist, Kovanda received criticism in his home country, where traditional methods of learning art were emphasized. After a period of time painting and making installations, Kovanda moved back to performative art, gaining respect the world over. His upcoming exhibition in Denver will be a rare treat. All the Birds of North America will have an opening reception on Thursday, September 13 from 6 – 9 p.m. Public hours will be held Wednesday, September 12 through Saturday, September 15 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. via https://303magazine.com/2018/08/black-cube-jiri-kovanda-secret-location/ Denver has some quirky events lined up this weekend for you to experience.

via https://www.temptalia.com/when-was-the-last-time-you-shopped-your-stash-what-did-you-find/ ![]() You're Dragon Me DownWet ‘n’ Wild You’re Dragon Me Down Color Icon Bronzer ($4.99 for 0.19 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with strong, warm yellow undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color payoff in a single layer, while the texture was dense, smooth to the touch, and almost felt like a powdery cream texture to me. The denser texture required a denser brush to pick up product evenly and also to disperse and blend out the bronzer on my skin. It didn’t take too much effort to even out and diffuse the edges, but it was less workable if I applied it over foundation that wasn’t matte or mostly dried down. Most powders do just fine that way but I’ve seen some that are more reactive, and the latter works better over just-powdered or matte skin. This shade lasted for eight hours on me before it started to fade. Top Dupes
Formula Overview$4.99/0.19 oz. - $26.26 Per Ounce The formula was more like a cream-powder hybrid, as the powder had a lot of slip and felt very smooth to the touch without being powdery, and it was on the denser side. It applied best with a circular, small-to-medium buffer brush or an otherwise moderately dense brush as it picked up product more evenly and dispersed it well. The product had medium to opaque coverage, depending on the shade, but they were buildable if they were not opaque in one layer. They blended out fairly well, but they can be tricky to blend over damp foundation--they seemed more reactive to residual moisture/oiliness on the skin compared to the average powder bronzer. I'd recommend lightly dusting translucent powder over your complexion products if they do not dry down to a semi-matte or matte finish. Browse all of our Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Bronzer swatches.

Mostly, artists are solitary workers who enjoy the freedom to express without pressure or limits. Even though the general art market may present some competitive situations, street art has always topped the gallery and fine art market in its tendency toward rivalries. Much like the hip-hop and skate cultures that graffiti spawned from, the world of graffiti and street art is best experienced with a little adrenaline and a little struggle. And the best way to incorporate that struggle in a tight-knit art community is through a friendly live-painting competition — in Denver’s case, it’s Patio Battle. Hosted at Meadowlark Kitchen, Patio Battle pits four or five artists against each other in a two-hour artistic standoff. Using the same sized canvas, and limited to paints and markers (no spray paint is allowed), the artists must complete an original piece in those two hours, while a raucous crowd cheers and jeers behind them. It’s not an event for a sensitive artist, but also there is a sense that the artists are all on a team together, even if the crowd sees it differently. “We are so surrounded with great artists here [in RiNo] and I just want a space to showcase all these talented people,” Casey Karns, owners of Meadowlark Kitchen commented. “All these talented people are in the neighborhood all the time. It’s really impressive, especially how they can complete a painting in two hours. It’s just really worth showing off to our customers and our community.” ![]() The setup for an art battle. Photo courtesy DINKC on Facebook The first Patio Battle happened in April, when artist DINKC asked some other Denver-based street artists to compete. “I fell in love with my first ‘Art Brawl’ I did in NYC for Dia De Los Muertos in 2016 and since then have participated in random ones here and there, including Secret Walls,” DINKC explained. “I enjoy the raw vibes, feeding off the crowd, and really testing your skills with other amazing creatives going head to head. I always wanted to host my own version and Meadowlark Kitchen trusted me enough with it, and so it began! I never expected the first one to go so well but it was definitely humbling seeing Denver showing up to support the artists. I can only hope to continue pushing the envelope for it to grow, showcasing new talented artists, and keeping the spirit of raw illustrative battles alive!” His competitors for that first match were Patrick Kane McGregor, Scot LeFavor, Casey Kawaguchi and Markham Maes (Shitty Kitten). McGregor took home the championship title — and for that first battle, it was truly only a title. He was decided as the winner based on cheers from onlookers. The canvases from each artist were sold after the event. ![]() Mural by Patrick Kane McGregor on Meadowlark Kitchen’s patio. Photo courtesy of McGregor on Facebook This upcoming battle on Thursday, August 30 will have slightly higher stakes and a different cast. Though DINKC is an obvious player — he started it, after all — McGregor is also competing again to defend his title. To change the lineup, this Patio Battle will also include Chris Haven, Grow Love and Kiri Leigh — the last two marking the first women to participate. Since the first battle happened on the eve of 420, most of the paintings centered on something weed related. But this time around, the theme is “Old School” — a loosely-defined suggestion that can be liberally developed by each artist. During the battle, attendees must vote on their favorite artist — and though they can cheer and jeer all they want, the votes will be counted for accuracy this time around. Also, instead of selling the canvases after, there will be an ongoing auction open to everyone in attendance during the two-hours of painting. And the Patio Battle champ? This time, they’ll receive a grand prize, a trophy and a championship belt to hold onto until the next Patio Battle. Patio Battle Vol. 2 “Old School” will take place on August 30, from 7 to 10 p.m. on Meadowlark Kitchen’s backyard patio (2705 Larimer Street). via https://303magazine.com/2018/08/patio-battle-2-meadowlark-kitchen/ ![]() Razzle Dazzle BerryToo Faced Razzle Dazzle Berry Tutti Frutti Eyeshadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, permanent palette featuring seven shades across different finishes and depths. It is a pink/plum/purple themed palette. Two shades–Razzle and That’s My Jam–feature a much more cream-based formula, which is denser, smooth, and applied best with synthetic brushes. The palette came together with enough effort, but it was a weaker showing. ![]()

It appeared pinkish in the pan, but I didn’t get any pink tones translating in a swatch–just a lot of gold/yellow.

![]() RazzleRazzle is a medium, rosy copper with a metallic sheen. It had good pigmentation with a denser, creamier consistency that had a noticeable slip to it–it felt like a squishy, cream-based product, not a powder eyeshadow. I was surprised to find that I didn’t struggle to pick it up with a regular eyeshadow brush, but I did notice that it was less easy to use after a few uses (and a few days between those uses). The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin and blended out nicely. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly. Top Dupes

![]() Berried TreasureBerried Treasure is a bright, medium plum with warm, red undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was dense, smooth to the touch, but firmer and tended to apply best with denser brushes that seemed to do a better job of picking up product. It had good pigmentation and applied evenly to bare skin. I didn’t have any issues blending out the edges, and it lasted nicely for eight hours on me. Top Dupes

![]() Boys N BerryBoys N Berry is a medium purple with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. There were a few stray sparkles strewn in the pan, but they did not translate on my lid. The texture was dusty and on the drier side, and it did not apply evenly, so it took more effort to even out the coverage and diffuse the edges. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably. Top Dupes

![]() Bad to the BerryBad to the Berry is a soft black with a faint sparkle over a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a drier, slightly chalky texture–thin, firm but not stiff, and took a little more effort to apply the color evenly to my skin.

![]() That's My JamThat’s My Jam is a medium-dark purple with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. The color coverage was good, though it wasn’t opaque, and it had noticeable slip–it felt more like a dense cream eyeshadow than a powder-based one, though it seemed to “dry out” a bit after a couple of uses (but still usable, just noticeably less cream-like). It worked best with a dense, flat synthetic brush, which picked up product more easily and more evenly. It was easier to work with on my lid than I expected, and it didn’t have any fallout while remaining rather sparkly! It lasted well for eight hours before creasing faintly. Top Dupes

Denver’s excitement over the newest three-day festival Grandoozy almost can’t be contained. But music fans are not the only ones who will be impressed come September because Grandoozy also just announced a lineup of local artists who will decorate and beautify the festival grounds. Grandoozy comes from the company Superfly (the team behind Bonnaroo and Outside Lands) who are known for curating intense and mesmerizing visual displays that set the stage for both the bands performing and for attendees to elevate their experience. Announced this morning, Grandoozy’s art lineup will include “oversized pieces of artwork to frame the stages to live mural paintings throughout the festival grounds,” according to the press release. “Fans will be immersed in a wildly aesthetic culture inspired by the region,” it continued. Even though the musical lineup for the festival features a healthy mixture of local and traveling (big-name) acts, their art installations rightfully focus on the local scene. Especially since Grandoozy will occur the weekend after the annual street art festival CRUSH takes over RiNo, it only makes sense to celebrate those artists. ![]() DINKC. Photo by Amanda Piela. Three artists will be in charge of outfitting the stages with something impressive and visually pleasing. The Rock Stage will be the canvas for Extra Vitamins, a creative design agency based in Denver and started by Julia Belamarich and Kyle Warfield two years ago. On the Paper Stage, artist Tom Bond will craft something that blends fine art with installation elements. And on the Scissors Stage, an artist who currently has work in the Octopus Initiative at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sierra Barela, will create something esoteric, colorful and with the tendency to make people contemplative. The other aspect of art at Grandoozy is live mural painting on all three days. On Friday, September 14, artists DINKC, Hollis + Lana and Zach “Esic” Howard will have the entirety of the day to paint a large mural. On Saturday, artists Anna Charney, Anthony Garcia Sr. and RumTum (John Hastings) will take over. And for the final day, heavy-hitters Thomas “Detour” Evans, Jason Garcia and Jonathan Lamb/Like Minded Productions will close out the festival. Even though Grandoozy is a music festival, it just wouldn’t be complete without some kind of interactive art or installations. And thankfully, the first year of Grandoozy is proving to be one for the books for both the music scene in Denver and the art scene.
