> DESCRIPTION
Solo exhibitions by artists (chosen by Vallance)
James Goodwin, Laurie Hassold, Marjan Hormozi, Dave Shulman, and
Scottie Vera will occupy separate spaces within the remainder of the
gallery.
In her drawings, Marjan Hormozi works with satirical themes within a
historical precedent: filtering them through contemporary actors and
staging them in theater-like settings suggesting Southern California
locations. Exhibit Dave is a mix of text, artwork and artifacts
generated from Dave Shulman’s columns in the L.A. Weekly (Sitegeist and
Column Dave), which ran from 1998 until 2007 and included stories on
interesting subjects including involuntary cheerleading, Polynesian
butt plugs, among others. As he explores issues of crustaceanism and
Dom Deluise, emerging Los Angeles painter, Scottie Vera works in a wide
variety of media and styles.
