Michael Rashkow 12.26.07   Author: Annie Buckley 11.16.07-01.05.08 LAXART The birth of photography was marked by a necessarily symbiotic relationship between art and science, one that has reemerged in recent decades. This exhibition of new works by Michael Rashkow quietly points to the resurgence. In comparison with the supersize, brightly colored, or otherwise dazzling photographs in many galleries, this work is relatively subdued. Yet the power of the exhibition, which includes eight photographi... [more]

Liquiddetail2 Simply Great!  
by
Kimber Berry at Phantom Galleries LA - August 22nd - September 12th
Posted 9/17/09

All I can say is … WOW!!!  Finally, a painter doing something more cutting edge.  They are big; they are beautiful; impossible to get bored while scanning these works.  And what the heck is going on in the corner? … Looks like a painting blending right into the wall – never seen that before, so in my book - a must see.  She is definitely a true artist and not a one trick pony. Like any master painter, they can really mix it up…and she does a great job in doing so.  If you are in LA... [more]

PØST, the seminal downtown artist-run space, has returned after a four-year hiatus.  During its original run from 1995-2005, artist/director Habib Kheradyar (aka HK Zamani) mounted up to 20+ exhibits each year, including in the elevator if his loft building on East Seventh Place. Zamani made a bold return last April with Erased, in which he took six artists’ works linked to the gallery’s past and still in Zamani’s possession – among them Linda Besemer and Brad Spence – and ‘eras...

Picture_12 Landscape Indexical in Culver City   Pick-button

at Center for Land Use Interpretation May 29th - May 29th
Posted 9/8/09

In order to keep up with building codes and stave off a faintly imagined chaos, buildings taller than 75 feet are required to have a landing spot for helicopters in case of an emergency – hence the preponderance of helipads in downtown Los Angeles. There’s a subtle symmetry to these circles seen from the air.  Due to regulation, each emergency landing area requires a touchdown pad of 50 x 50 feet and within each red circle a number– a 5, 10, 12 – designates the maximum weight capacity i...

Blowfish Banksy and Shepherd Fairey eat your heart out....

Jo Spence and Terry Dennett, Anne-Marie Kornachuk, Part2ism, Tamara Seabrook at Channel Four Contemporary Art / C4 Gallery July 31st - September 13th
Posted 8/23/09

I was really excited to see PART2ISM'S work after hearing so much about it from England... especially after seeing it in the London Street Art Anthology (check it out on amazon) - This is his (Part2ism) first time here in north america apparently... the other work in the show - while not 'street art' was solid - kind of incredible actually... very different from anything I've ever seen - anywhere... but it somehow works fabulously together. just get up out of your chair and GO SEE THE SHOW!

Shulman1 Julius Shulman: The Last Modernist   Pick-button
by
Posted 7/20/09

He sat in the morning light in his own modernist hamlet, a sleek lined cube built by Raphael Soriano in 1950 off of Mulholland Drive, full of shaggy old blocked couches and trim chairs and luxurious gardens. Throughout the house were large photographs ranging from snow draped Japanese landscapes to family snapshots. Around two months ago, I spent the day with Julius Shulman, a photographer best known for his documentation of modernist architecture in Los Angeles. I was invited to visit Shulman as... [more]

Symmetry Feeding the Spirit Monkey

Carole Caroompas, Kaitlynn Redell, Aaron Sheppard, Arne Svenson, Liz Young at Western Project June 13th - July 18th
Posted 7/14/09

Tales of the Flesh are tales about the spirit and flesh.  Does an unrequited love of the spirit live in the hearts of these five artists?  Whether it does or not, mutiny is not an option.  They're in it for the long haul.  Their personal battles pulsate in their work.Liz Young's family portraits are a host of small scale paintings of her family and herself at various ages.  The portraits are exhibited in the gallery the way they might be found in her grandmother's living room.  The wonderment...
