James Franco TV - Funny Or Die

The Art of Elysium, a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization founded in 1997, encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. We provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.

Palo Alto is the debut of a surprising and powerful new literary voice. Written with an immediate sense of place--claustrophobic and ominous--James Franco's collection traces the lives of an extended group of teenagers as they experiment with vices of all kinds, struggle with their families and one another, and succumb to self-destructive, often heartless nihilism.

There were no bold names (aside from artist Terence Koh and P.S. 1 head Klaus Biesenbach) or event photographers at the opening of the omnipresent and multi-talented James Franco‘s new exhibition “High/Low, Rob Lowe,” on display through August 28 at Koh’s Asia Song Society. Unlike at most New York gallery openings that carry such a marquee headliner, the crowd on that drizzly Saturday night spilled out the door not because they couldn’t fit inside, but because they needed a breath of fresh air from the venue’s lack of air conditioning.

The opening, in fact, which showcased video and film installations created by and featuring Franco, proved to be a relatively low key affair, making one wonder if Franco’s overexposure (a “Jimmy Kimmel” appearance defending non-visible art, a New York Times article chronicling his creative split with performance artist Kalup Linzy, and a starring role in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” the weekend’s number one movie at the box office, are just a few things that come to mind) kept people away, or if the opening was just quietly announced.
