ALAC FAIR 2010
by Feb 08, 2010
On the last weekend of January, the Art Los Angeles Contemporary fair (ALAC) stamped an impressive footprint on the second floor of the Pacific Design Center (PDC). The PDC, aka “The Blue Whale” beached up on West Hollywood in 1975. Measuring about 1.2M square feet, it is an imposing piece of architecture at best, and a colossal eyesore to its neighbors at worst. Normally the PDC is utilized by the design community for showroom space but it has also provided comfortable accommodations for all sorts of events. In this case, and not without a hint of irony, the PDC hosted an Art Fair.

'POST-IT SHOW 4' @ GIANT ROBOT 2

Anyone that can get to the UCLA Hammer Museum soon is in for a treat. Two strong yet very different shows share the upper level. Heat Waves in a Swamp: the Paintings of Charles Burchfield (October 4–January 3, 2010) is an abbreviated retrospective curated by Robert Gober and Cynthia Burlingham.

JEFFS KOONS @ GAGOSIAN, LOS ANGELES
by Nov 25, 2009
A friend of mine knows that fine art is totally subjective. He has a reply for every criticism, good or bad:
“That’s what makes it so great.”
With confounding kindness, this retort will de-claw even the harshest critic.

PRISM GALLERY: MINDTHEGAP
by Dec 16, 2009
A new gallery opening in the wake of this depression is nothing short of a miracle, but to say that Prism Gallery “opened” is an understatement. Its appearance in Los Angeles was more like a close encounter of the third kind.
