Johnny Weir, winner of the 2010 Olympic “platinum medal” in the “fabulous glamour” category skates to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face in the 2009 Festa on Ice in Korea. Could anything be more chocolate in your peanut butter? Big thanks to Michele for sending this my way. My day has been made. Technorati Tags: [...] I was lucky enough to be at the press preview for LACMA’s new show, American Stories, this morning. It’s a solid, glorious show, put together in partnership by LACMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, that brings together a staggering roster of 18th and 19th Century works by American artists. It’s a “legitimate blockbuster” [...] Things have been too quiet on the Murakami front lately. The above video, Akihibara Majokko Princess, somehow fills the empty space between his colossal (and totally premature) MOCA retrospective and whatever will come next from the knockoff handbag inspirer and lord of Japanese pop. In the video, commissioned by Murakami and directed by [...] Matthew Thomas is on both my “favourite people” and my “favourite artists” lists.

February 12 – 14 Actions Conversations and Intersections @ Municipal Art Gallery. Co-curator Edith Abeyta has a post up with a full listing of this weekend’s events. Of special note this weekend is [...] The above video hits all the notes – Eli Broad’s $30 million, Hitler’s own failed art career, Deitch at MOCA, Paul McCarthy’s love of Ketchup, “Good Sushi in Little Tokyo”, Next Art Star, Shepard Fairey. Given Sunday’s NY Times profile of Eli Broad, this video seems “Right on Time”. Big thanks to Carol [...] Been a bit of a busy week for the arts in LA, eh? February 4-7 Actions, Conversations and Intersections @ Municipal Arts Gallery. A host of events are taking place daily as part of this project. Check out the February 4-7 schedule on their site for lots to do all weekend. Of particular [...] About two years ago now, the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles contacted Angels Gate about curating a site-specific artwork for the La Salle Lofts. We put together a process that looked at several Southern California artists and ended up commissioning AGCC Studio Artist Slobodan Dimitrov to design a photo-based labour mural. Getting [...] Wow, what a day. About a gazillion people turned up to support the Department of Cultural Affairs at today’s meeting. Your letters, Emails, phone calls and presence in the meeting made all the difference today.
