Monday, March 22 @ 10 AM there will be a special meeting of the Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee at City Hall to discuss the Department of Cultural Affairs current budget. Tom LaBonge is the chair of the committee and he has been a great supporter and friend to the arts in LA [...] We’ve been working on two really exciting exhibitions at Angels Gate that open this Sunday (2-4pm, come on down!). The first, Sojung Kwon’s Planning A Year: Mondays and Sundays, is a solo show in our main gallery that will display all the documentation of the daily “Actions” carried out on Mondays and Sunday during her [...] I know it’s been quiet here lately, but I’m too busy to write well, and I’d rather not write poorly. Department of Cultural Affairs head Olga Garay confirmed to KPCC that 33 out of 70 full time employees at the department are out. That’s 50% folks… One of the interesting aspects of these layoffs that I’m [...] 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 [...] 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. He has been both a peer and a mentor to me for most of the past decade. I’ve been lucky enough to curate a mini retrospective of his work for Angels Gate. I’m not usually keen on two kinds of art, [...] Thursday, February 18 Jocelyn Foye: Smashdown @ Laguna Art Museum. OC Roller Girls vs. Long Beach Roller Derby in a performance/action by Jocelyn Foye. I get to shoot this event tonight, so keep an eye out for photos. 7pm. RSVP to intern@lagunaartmuseum.com. Ground Control @ UCI Art Gallery. MFA show from 2nd year students, including the excellent [...] This weekend is getting very abbreviated. Been under the weather. Update on further developments in the DCA situation coming soon. 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 Jocelyn Foye’s performance, [...] 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 Cheh of [...] 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 interest is Nicola [...] |
