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]

Beloufa in Chinatown
by Ed Schad
Neil Beloufa at Francois Ghebaly Gallery
September 9th - October 30th
Posted
9/14/09
The art we make today – frequently fractured and scattered – often assumes that older and more unified ways of thinking have been either lost entirely or are being replaced. Neïl Beloufa’s current show at Francois Ghebaly's new space takes a different, perhaps more honest approach. His film Kempinski, shot in Mali completely unscripted and simply allowing people in Mali a moment to speak, reveals animist, ancient ways of thinking coexisting in a modern world, and this truth about the...

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... [more]

Abstractionists
Unite! Curated by Nancy Chaikin
at the Glendale College Art gallery, is a refreshing exhibition that provides
a purely pleasurable and visually enriching experience. The exquisitely
installed and thoughtful show of 13 artists successfully reveals the
thriving nature of contemporary abstraction. Diverse in origin, generation, and
gender, the artists' works in this show display a magnetic mixture of boldness
and restraint, poetry and prose, an attention to formal concerns and conc... [more]

Our theme "URBAN GRAVITATION" was inspired to bring in artworks and music that expressed some aspects of urban life. Becau... [more]

Old, beat up, and broken, many with deep scratches and nicks in their white or ochre enamel paint, thirteen washing machines and dryers in various states of disrepair cluster around the crisp, white walls of the gallery. Camilo Ontiveros amassed this collection of tired appliances in the weeks leading up to this, his first solo gallery exhibition, through brightly colored bi-lingual posters advertising fifteen dollar payments per used machine. Continuing his ongoing consideration of the underground econ... [more]

Jeff Hassay in Death Valley
by Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer
Posted
7/26/09
Take a trip to Death Valley in late summer or early fall. It’s only about four or so hours driving from Los Angeles. You can see the salt flats, Zabriskie Point, the sand dunes, Artist’s Palette, and the mysterious Devil’s Racetrack. All striking and each benefiting from the blushing glow of morning or evening light. The dunes are best. You can see all the usual tour book attractions, but you can’t see Jeff Hassay’s See Through Mountain, 2009. Even though it’s there. Follow these directions and ma... [more]

Feeding the Spirit Monkey

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... [more]
