Ottoland opens
at Workspace
HE'S KNOWN AROUND town as a musician, promoter and baker of some of the best cheesecake you'll ever taste on this rock. The single-named Otto, who along with Josh Hancock and Sean Tasaki make up the group The 86 List, takes his love of art one step further this week, with the opening of "Ottoland" at Workspace on Waialae Avenue.
An opening reception was held Saturday night at Workspace, featuring some of the goodies from Otto's bakery operation. On display at "Ottoland" are some of the flyers that he's produced for various punk concerts over the years and a variety of paintings and other work that should challenge the way you look at art.
Workspace is located at 3624 Waialae Ave., No. 201, and will feature Otto's work from noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays until May 11. Call 732-2300 for more info ...
