Lasso Gallery is honored to present the work of internationally acclaimed Ghanaian artist Paa Joe.

The artist is a cultural icon in Ghana; working with the elements of life, death and the transition to the afterlife. For six decades the artist has created “fantasy coffins”. Paa Joe creates work that celebrates the individual’s life and interests, (a lion for a public leader, green onion for a farmer etc.)

This tradition was started by his uncle Kane Kwei who pioneered the first figurative coffin in the early 1950’s. The tradition was furthered by Paa Joe who has taken this craft to great heights, these coffins are no longer seen as solely vehicles to the afterlife but art objects.

Paa Joe was propelled to global acclaim in 1989 following a show at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Since that time his works have gone on to exhibit all over the globe. Acquired by permanent collections like The British Museum (London, England), The Brooklyn Museum (Brooklyn, USA), The National Museum of Funeral History (Houston, USA), and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Boston, USA). Also collected by private dignitaries and even a US president.

The artist's work has been documented in two books Going into Darkness and The Buried Treasures of the Ga.

There has also been a full-length film made, Paa Joe & The Lion. This film will be shown here in Amarillo On December 28th.

hot of the release of their new album Microspirit, Frail Talk is coming back to Caliche! this time they’ll be joined by Amarillo’s very own Bennie Miller.

hope to see you there!

bad girls upset by the truth is a semi-autobiographical country cabaret written by lubbock native Jo carol pierce. jo carol cut her teeth with the likes of other lubbock legends such as butch hancock, joe ely, and jimmie dale gilmore, to whom she was married briefly. she moved to austin in the 80s and started to make a name for herself as a songwriter and performer. despite receiving acclaim amongst her fellow performers, she would not release her first album, bad girls, until 1995 when she was in her 50s.

bad girls is a musical comedy unlike any other. jo carol, like tom t. hall or john prine, has a gift for depicting the everyday tragedies of life with cutting and astute humor. she also revels in raunch with songs like “does god have us by the twat or what?” and “vaginal angel.”

with jo carol’s blessing, lauren meckel has revived bad girls and re-introduced it to a modern audience. meckel first performed bad girls at the edinburgh festival fringe in 2019. when she returned to the states, she took bad girls on the road for a few performances in texas before covid shut the world down. meckel’s performance at caliche will be her first since before the pandemic.

a few more words about meckel: she’s one of those people of envious talent. she has a phd in anthropology, and she is currently an instructor at lsu. she’s also a trained actor, appearing most recently in the netflix film look both ways. we are incredibly excited to have meckel at caliche.

this is one event that you really won’t want to miss!

trigger warning: performance contains instances of suicide ideation.
