Yeah, yeah, apparently there&#8217;s some fancy sporting event that opened somewhere in Asia this past Friday, but a little closer to home, a very dope art exhibit bowed on 8/8/08 as well. Over at the <a href="http://www.oaklandartgallery.org/home.asp" target="_blank">Oakland Art Gallery</a>, renowned Bay Area photomontage artist <a href="http://www.kebakonte.com/" target="_blank">Keba Konte</a> just opened his latest exhibit <strong>&#8220;888 Pieces of We: A Photo Memoir.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The San Francisco native worked as a rap shutterbug in the early &#8217;90s during hip-hop&#8217;s Golden Era and later made a bunch of the flicks into &#8220;art&#8221; by cementing the images on unconventional wooden surfaces (headboards, dressers, ironing boards etc.). The resulting photomontages (including <strong>Tupac</strong>, <strong>E-40</strong>, <strong>X-Clan</strong>, and a child playing in Johannesburg Cemetary) are both eerie and nostalgic. The exhibit features (you guessed it) 888 of his pieces and runs through September. See a gallery from the show below.<br />
