Train Spotting

Mike Brodie at M+B
March 16th - May 11th
Posted
3/27/13
Mike Brodie has captured something raw and honest in his series of 30 photographs on display in Los Angeles at M+B. The gallery, consisting of a converted bungalow and modern annex, provides an intimate look at the heroic historian's three-year journey as a cross-country stowaway, hitchhiker, and pedestrian. The title of the exhibition, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, conjures the current and all-too-familiar entitlement of youth. Brodie and his travel companions, however, embody a life no... [more]

An implication of age compels us to craft histories for the artworks in A Handful of Dust. Their materials suggest a simpler time—products of earth, of metal, of wood—and their shapes imply function. Natural hues of a limited and subdued palette pervade, as if these artworks are remains all found in one place, all from one civilization.

A CONCRETE CLOWN HEAD. Mouth agape, tongue spilling out onto an astroturfed lawn. A crumbling relic. Krusty’s kid brother.
The putting green is littered with cigarette butts and beer cans. Amateur graffiti and petty vandalism designate adolescent rebellion at its finest: School Night stages the aftermath of an illicit late night game of Crazy Golf and is the spatially dominant centerpiece of Texan collective OKAY MOUNTAIN’S first Los Angeles solo exhibition at Mark M...

As many already know, I am curating the all photography group show, "F8 and be there," at Cannery Row Studios in Redondo Beach.
We had an interesting experience while putting the placards by the art tonight (Fri, Aug 2). A woman asked if she could look at the gallery and bought the first piece of art she laid her eyes on. It is one of the 16 photographs from the India Series by Hill Street Studios photographers Lawrence Manning.

This new group show includes some really great work by a wide range of artists. One of the more interesting shows that I have seen in this gallery, and really show the versitility of the work that gets displayed in this gallery. The three pieces at the front of the gallery, by Carlos Donjuan and Rupert Garcia, particulary the piece entitled, Mao, 1977, by Garcia. These works really pull you into the gallery, and as you move toward the back the works continues to catch the eye. The most inters... [more]

A chain letter is a message sent in an effort to induce friend and stranger alike to pass it on, often under pain of punishment or promise of benefit. Today it's a handy, analog metaphor for digital social networks.
In June, artists Doug Harvey and Christian Cummings sent a chain letter (actually, a chain email) to 10 artists each one admired, inviting them to show up and participate... [more]

Photographer Larry Hirshowitz studied photography in his birthplace of South Africa. He moved to Los Angeles in 1991. He grew up observing the starkly divided culture of South Africa which gave him an eye for the beauty, diversity and tension of urban existence.
With an unclinching photographic style he's chronicled both the comfortable and afflicted for New York Times Magazine, Los Angeles Magazine, L.A. Times Magazine, ESPN Magazine, Sydney Morning Heral... [more]

Buffing censorship at Crewest
Sadly Los Angeles is not unfamiliar with censorship. Mexican muralist David A. Siqueiros’ América Tropical was whitewashed in 1932 because the mural was “unpleasant” and it did not fit the civic leaders’ idea of the romantic and idealized past they wanted to convey to the tourists arriving at El Pueblo de Los Angeles. It is unfortunate that seventy-eight years later artists are still facing censorship.
Writers, photographers, artists, academics, and art historians j... [more]

East Los, is a collection of new works documenting East Los Angeles with haunting paintings by Roberto Gutierrez and painterly photography by Jose Orozco. Gutiérrez paintings are masterly juxtaposed with Orozco's images, the artists paying homage to the place both call home. Gutiérrez and Orozco's East Los exhibition at Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park, California,(8/14/10-9/5/10) unfolds in front of the viewer's eyes as a history book of An... [more]

I was at the opening today for the show "Beyond the Camera". The show featured photographic work created by artists who merge traditional photography and physical or digital manipulation of the photographs. The work was symbolic for some and representative for others. Most notable, and eye-catching, was the work by Susan Berkowitz, whos Polaroid based images were intriguing and novel. Polaroid, like most film photography, is a dying medium, so this work may help maintain the unique style of Polaroid tr... [more]

This review is by Kathy M.Y. Pyon of The Los Angeles Times photo blog - Framework.
In “Le Tour,” Brent Humphreys’ first Los Angeles exhibition, the Austin, Texas-based photographer looks at the Tour de France. The collection of 15 fantastical works on display at the Clark | Oshin Gallery at the Icon offers a perspective lacking in regular coverage of the massive event.
From 2004 to 2009, Humphreys captured photographs of this event that go beyond the cycling. The quality of the photography is artistic. The c... [more]
