It’s about a summer late for this to be timely, but everyone’s favourite local conceptual artist and amateur Dr. Zaius lookalike, John Baldessari, benefits from a pair of Mr. Cool shades on the cover of July/August’s artillery. His show at LACMA, Pure Beauty, is mandatory viewing for Angelenos and is up until September [...] Since what us little people hear out of Deitch is either the “we smoke our own Kool-Aid” marketingspeak out of the MOCA PR department or terrifying quotes from inside a cocaine-filled James Francosphere, FakeDeitch on Twitter is all we’ve got. LACMA turned over its Twitter account to actor Rainn Wilson, who proceeded to wax moronic about many things in 144 characters or less. Why? I love you LACMA, but please, never again. You just finished showing American Stories and now you’re currently hosting a Thomas Eakins show and a Catherine Opie show. You’re already [...] 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” [...] 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 [...] There’s a tone of awesome kicking off today, but I’m keeping it brief. Get yourself to the Municipal Gallery on Sunday for the opening of Actions, Conversations and Intersections & Ideational Architectures (preview image of installation in progress at top). Thursday, January 28 Elyse Pignolet: urban abstractions @ Fullerton College Art Gallery. AGCC [...] Thursday, January 21 – Sunday, January 24Los Angeles Art Show 2010 @ LA Convention Center. 15th annual booth-fest. Is the art market still in collapse? Go see for yourselves! Go support Meeson Pae Yang who will have an installation, Dispersion, on display at the LA Art Association booth. Check the LA Art Show [...] We have two shows opening up at Angels Gate this weekend. Vessels, for the crafty folks, and New Studio Artists, for those who want to meet our newest additions. Thursday, January 14 Steven Severin: Music to Silents @ Cinefamily. Severin, best known to weepy, sensitive teenagers as a bassist with Siouxie and the Banshees [...] The artblog world is in a Deitch tizzy, the uncertainty of the moment blowing the speculation index through the roof. Fun to read, but ultimately, unless MOCA pulls a giant “just kidding!”, we’ll all just have to sit on our hands and see how this whole thing turns out. Maybe it’s because the [...] Christopher Knight stepped into the Deitch waters last night with some heavy perspective on the complex and mysterious nature of the Deitch hire at MOCA. It’s heavy on speculation, which just about all there is to do right now. Technorati Tags: MOCA, Christopher Knight, LA Times, Jeffrey [...] |
