Miami has Art Basel, London has Frieze. We have Art LA and Photo LA. Great chance to see galleries from around the world exhibit their best and bravest art. Moby hosted the opening events at Photo LA and presented some photography from his recent book “Destroyed” which chronicles his life on the road. Interesting work, and especially liked the photo work of Liz Steketee who manipulates and melds old family photos into strange (somewhat creepy) new imagery. Found some inspiring new work by artists using books as materials, like artist Ching Ching Chen who used book pages to build camera sculptures. Mark liked the Infinity Mirror by Adam Belt.

Developing a new series of images from my trip to New Orleans a few months ago. The work will coincide with a collaborative project with Felicia Michaels and Natalie Gamble. Show slated for Paso Robles Gallery in late August. Spoiler alert: Mark and I will also be unveiling new kinetic sculptures. Lots to do this summer!

Saturday night found us hanging around Culver City art openings, along with a thousand other people. La Cienega Blvd. was mobbed. After an amazing meal at Brunello’s Trattoria, we pushed and shoved our way into a few galleries to see what was what. Had lots of fun with Robb Putnam‘s misfit dogs at the Walter Maciel Gallery. But neither of us enjoyed Jill Greenberg’s new photos of decapitated pigs and urinating chimps. Claustrophobia finally set in and we retreated home to the beach bungalo.

“From the LA River to Lackawanna”
One show of note was Ingrid Calame at Susanne Vielmetter Gallery. Her installation showcased HUGE color pencil drawings traced from the marks on streets and sidewalks. Most impressive was the 50 foot long wall drawing when you enter the gallery. Bravo Ingrid.
