Just a couple of recommends for this weekend
Saturday, February 23
John O’Brien, (re) Siting (chapter and verse) @ Kristi Engle Gallery. John’s last show contained a single brilliant piece – I just got the invite to this one, and it’s devoid of detail, but, knowing John, it should be wonderful. Reception is 6-9 PM.
Tom Neely, Gin Stevens, Levon Jihanian & Scot Nobles, Igloo Tornado @ Black Maria Gallery. On the good side of lowbrow, and besides I’m enthusiastic about any exhibition that contains some post-Dungeons and Dragons artwork, like the piece at top, Mindflayer, by Levon Jinaian. I’m truly disappointed that there hasn’t been explosion of works referencing the true extremes of childhood geekdom. Reception is 7 – 10:30 PM.
Heather Rasmussen, Dawson Weber and Bret Nicely, Some Indispensable Concepts for Understanding this Beautiful Exhibition @ Confederacy for Creative Ephemera, in cooperation with Circus Gallery. Curator Jessica Minckley. Interesting and somewhat mysterious project by three Los Angeles artists. Heather is the person responsible for taking shipping containers into the origami dimension – a piece that I’m looking forward to bringing to San Pedro in our next show at Angels Gate… Reception is 7-9 PM.
Sunday February 24
Jennifer D. Anderson & Jessica Curtaz, Body Without Organs @ CSULB (Merlino Galleries). Described as “an exhibition exploring visual interpretations of Deleuze and Guttari’s Body Without Organs.” I’ve worked with Jennifer before, and I love her stuff. Reception is 5-7 PM.
