Bart Exposito: Strange Alphabet
at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects
Culver City - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jul 10, 15 - Aug 22, 15
Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to announce “Strange Alphabet,” our first exhibition with Bart Exposito. Exposito, who lived extensively in Los Angeles and currently resides in New Mexico, is a desert native and the beautiful subtleties of this landscape affect the palette and spaciousness of paintings. In his new works for the exhibition, forms suggestive of typographic characters are rendered with sensitive lines over opaque and ambient planes of dusty color. read more...
New Babylon
at Roberts & Tilton
Culver City - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jul 18, 15 - Aug 15, 15
Roberts & Tilton is pleased to present New Babylon, an exhibition organized by Michael Dopp. The exhibition brings together fourteen artists based on an underlying sensibility exploring the collaborative aggregate as a symbolic social space with moveable articulations. New Babylon takes its form as a freestanding structure designed by architect Joakim Dahlqvist, with the artworks on view - sculpture, painting, ceramic, and photography - functioning as both autonomous objects and site-specific installations within the building's apparatus. read more...
Aki Sasamoto: No Choice
at Harmony Murphy Gallery
Downtown Los Angeles - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jul 11, 15 - Aug 15, 15
Harmony Murphy Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent works by Aki Sasamoto, No Choice. This marks the artist’s first solo show at the gallery as well as in Los Angeles. Widely known for performances and large-scale installations, No Choice will assemble props and other remnants from previous projects, lecture panels, new interactive sculptures, and video to demonstrate a comprehensive view of the artist’s practice. Japanese-born Sasamoto draws on subtle drama of decision making, the circuitous course of transmitted information, and the objects that become inoculated with new, inconsistent histories as a narrative is formed. read more...
João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva: One month without filming
at REDCAT Gallery
Downtown Los Angeles - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jul 11, 15 - Sep 20, 15
The work of Portuguese artists João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva, who have worked collaboratively since 2001, is characterized by the use of silent films and other analog forms of expression to portray poetic-philosophical narratives suspended in an indeterminate zone between reality and artifice. For the first major exhibition by the duo in Los Angeles, newly commissioned films are juxtaposed with past works to create a conceptual narrative and provide a larger glimpse at the duo’s extended practice. read more...
Lucia Koch
at Christopher Grimes Gallery
Santa Monica - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jul 10, 15 - Sep 04, 15
Christopher Grimes Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by Lucia Koch. Throughout her career Lucia Koch has become known for her interventions within existing architecture, either through her use of sculpture, photography, video or colored filters. In this, her second exhibition with the gallery, she will intersect the entire space with a gradient printed on fabric — something that moves in space but is constant, subtle, transformative and never repeating. read more...
Tongues Untied
at MOCA Pacific Design Center
West Hollywood - Los Angeles, CA, USA
Jun 06, 15 - Sep 13, 15
Titled after the landmark film by poet, activist, and artist Marlon Riggs, Tongues Untied presents a selection of works from MOCA's Permanent Collection by John Boskovich, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and others, alongside Riggs's deeply personal and lyrical exploration of black gay identity in the United States. Made during a historical period marked by the onset of the AIDS crisis, the works navigate desire, love, loss, and mourning to engage and question sexual and political repression, expression, and deviation. read more...
Mary Reid Kelley
at Armand Hammer Museum of Art, University of California, Los Angeles
Westwood - Los Angeles, CA, USA
May 23, 15 - Sep 27, 15
Trained as painter, Mary Reid Kelley creates narrative videos set within her own stylized black and white drawings. Working with videographer Patrick Kelley, her characters—all roles usually played by the artist—move through her black-and-white scenery and speak in poetic verse written by the artist. Beginning with Priapus Agonistes (2013), Reid Kelley explores the Greek myth of the Minotaur, turning the hybrid creature into half woman rather than man. read more...
