A few good things happening Saturday night in LA.
Justin Guariglia Shaolin: Temple of Zen @ Ben Maltz Gallery. Photographs of the warrior monks of a Shaolin temple in Henan province, China (like that handsome fellow above). 8 years of documenting + amazing martial artists = must see. There are several events in the weeks following the opening, as well. Reception is 5-7 PM.
Rochelle Botello @ Me & You Variety Candy. For an all-too-short while, Rochelle ran a tiny space up the street from Walled City, and I fell in love with her work. Reception is 7-10 PM.
This next event has been postponed and is not taking place Saturday, February 2. It has been moved to next Saturday, February 9.
Brody Condon Performance Modification (Nauman) @ Machine Project. Brody was the man behind 2004′s Untitled War, also at Machine Project. This performance is based on Bruce Nauman’s 1973 piece Tony Sinking into the Floor, Face Up and Face Down, only it involves folks in “medieval/space/fantasy armor” and “high volume binaural beats reputed to induce out of body experiences”. Good times… 8 – 10 PM (February 9).
