The Private Eye: An Evening of Glamour, Corruption and Black Diamonds September 27, 2008

The Private Eye, a noir-inspired art event hosted by Tarryn Teresa, LLC will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2008 from 7:00 - 11:00 pm in the downtown arts district. The Private Eye will feature "Under Color of Authority," a sardonic fine art series of 34 original hand-sculptured badge designs and a fascinating pin produced by Griffin Moss the collaborative pseudonym of Venice-based artists Ron Griffin and Bryan Moss. Two of the artworks will also be available in a limited edition series. The surrealist series demonstrates the relationship between art and crime and was motivated by the history of police misconduct and corruption in Los Angeles. Griffin Moss utilized precious metals and fine gems to symbolize the underlying theme of authority and excess. The event will feature live and silent auctions of the entire Griffin Moss original badge series and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California.

"We are delighted to support the ACLU of Southern California through our collaboration with Griffin Moss" said Tarryn Soderberg, owner of Tarryn Teresa, LLC.

The Private Eye has been made possible though the generous support of co-hosts Bacardi and Linear City, LLC along with several sponsors including Church and State, Rock Star Energy Drinks, Royal Clayton's and Viesso.

In addition to the live and silent auctions of the Griffin Moss badge series, guests will enjoy a lavish catered reception and complimentary entertainment by DJ Dimitri. The event promises to bring a night of glamour and intrigue to over 300 guests. Past ACLU supporters include Halle Berry, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Holly Hunter, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams.
