For those not in the loop on her work, Jocelyn Foye captures the performances and actions, primarily by athletes, in clay and then uses those imprints to make sculptural works. Live performances/actions or photographic documentation of performances often accompanies the work. I’ve been working with Jocelyn for a while now, and commissioning, promoting [...] As noted elsewhere around here, I’m up to my neck in it, so I’ve got one thing to recommend this weekend, the Wattstax/Dave Chapelle’s Block Party mashup by Edgar Arceneaux that’s part of MOCA’s Cinemoca series. Both movies are excellent, and both are important. When the now-defunct San Pedro Film Society put together [...] The Smithsonian Institution joined Flickr’s Commons last week, and of immediate note to me was their 91 image collection of images of artists. Most of these artists I’m not familiar with, such as William Morris Hunt, seen above. Some, like Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent or George Inness are familiar. There’s a real [...] Just saw The Cool School on PBS. It will no doubt be on again, don’t miss it. It’s school time for those unclear on just how amazing the Ferus Gallery scene was back in the day. It’s a bit short, I could have watched the seven part mini-series version, I loved it so [...] Eric Nakamura got himself invited to see the unveiling of Takashi Murakami’s latest Louis Vuitton line, Monogramouflage. Eric again manages to cover a curiosity of the contemporary art world, and at the same time, pair it with some excellent food pornography, in this case, a 20 oz, bone in steak at the Wynn [...] I saw Sawada’s current show at Rose Gallery last week in LA. Her new work is perhaps it’s less of a spectacle than her earlier work, leaving me wondering if she’s in the process of moving on from her earlier work, and her current work is transitional. Read the ArtKrush interview here. Technorati Tags: [...] Coop just made my week, posting a pile of scans of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth water slide decals to Flickr. Here’s a link to the set. Don’t miss Roth’s completely badass, fiberglass business card. Technorati Tags: Coop, water slide decals, decals, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, lowbrow, art, drag racing, fiberglass, business card, all [...] The days go by, and there’s always something to do. Thursday, June 12 Brian Finke, Flight Attendants @ Stephen Cohen Gallery. Two years of documenting flight attendants (image at top). Reception is 6-9 PM. Downtown Art Walk. My schedule hardly ever gives me the chance to go to one of these, but that [...] Chris Burden, whose Urban Light at LACMA has somehow guaranteed him a permanent place in my heart, and hopefully in LA’s landscape, is teasing those of us on the West Coast with his 65 foot “poetic interpretation” of the 30 Rock Building in Meccano at Rockefeller Center, titled What My Dad Gave Me. [...] There’s a staggering amount of must see and do stuff happening this weekend. Here’s some of it. Thursday, June 5 Prison to a Slave @ AndrewShire. Works by Derric Eady, Eric Medine, Suzanne Oshinshky and Nam June Paik. I’ve shown Eric Medine on a number of occasions, and he gives great proposal, usually in [...] |
