ICONOCLAST

BECKET ON SHULMAN JULIUS SHULMAN photographed one of my grandfather, Welton Becket’s earliest architectural projects in the late 30’s, the Pan Pacific Auditorium.

I never saw the Pan Pacific before it was destroyed by a fire in 1989. When I came across a large format photo of it in Taschen’s “Julius Shulman, Architecture and It’s Photography,” the composition left a strong impression on me. Julius took the photo from a large empty lot to the west, so the entire auditorium filled the frame. It shows the structure’s strong horizontal layout, beautiful rounded corners and four prominent streamline modern towers reaching into sky. Buildings live on through photography and can teach us so much about our past.

When I met Julius for the first time with my sister Alisa, he invited us to his home studio. Julius shared his library of negatives with us, showed us some portraits he took of our grandfaALEXANDRA BECKET ther and gave us a carefully typed list WITH JULIUS SHULMAN of photos he took for Welton Becket.

We loved hearing Julius’s recollections of what it was like working with our grandfather, including specific stories such as a chance encounter they had sitting next to each other on a flight to Egypt in the 60s when the Nile Hilton Hotel was being built.

The last time I saw Julius was for this interview, just a short while ago.

He insisted that you couldn’t describe how to photograph a building. You have to be on site to capture a composition at that moment. As you will read, he expressed an ardent desire to take us or anyone interested in photography out to the field to learn about composition. He spoke passionately about demonstrating his technique, sharing his knowledge, and teaching others. It was inspiring and fulfilling to hear his enthusiasm for photography and his desire to share it with others. » 10

ICONOCLAST

SHULMAN In Built Upon Love: Architectural Longing After Ethics and Aesthetics (MIT Press), architectural historian Alberto Perez-Gomez puts forward the enticing idea that “true architecture is concerned with far more than fashionable form, affordable homes, and sustainable development.”

The architecture he speaks of responds to the aspiration for an eloquent place to live. Julius Shulman’s magnificent oeuvre of photography maintains that the impression of order resonant with the occupant’s dreams is well within the domain of such architecture. A sublime lucidity anchors the compositions of spaces photographed by Shulman. Even at 98, he remained a paragon of California Cool. Though laid-back, his mastery over the medium was palpable. An exemplary eight-decade career elevated his work to iconic status and him to legend. Shulman transcended the frame by perfectly representing that invisible quality of carefree glamour, so eagerly sought throughout the world, despite its ephemeral nature.

Just weeks before Julius Shulman’s passing from this world, Fabrik had the privilege of accompanying textile designer and family friend Alexandra Becket for an interview, at his Laurel Canyon residence and studio. Designed for him in 1949 by noted Modernist architect Raphael Soriano, it is now designated an architecturally significant structure, due to its being

the only remaining unaltered steel frame house built by Soriano. Last year, as a cloth-bound limited edition of 1000, Nazraeli Press published by Shulman and Soriano, Julius Shulman: The Building of My Home and Studio. Still embodying his desire to narrate the beauty and livability of modern architecture, Shulman elegantly demonstrated the harmony of his own intentionally balanced environment. Although his photographs reflect what most pursue within the California dream: that intoxicating blend of ambition, success and glamour, his life and career appear the result of an incredible consistency of vision.

Always the consummate professional, his impeccably kept and extensive working archives of over 260,000 prints, negative and color transparencies, since acquired by the Getty Research Institute, have graced the pages of several excellent books documenting rarely before seen mid-century modern architecture, a few of which are even devoted solely to his work. As if to humor our inquiry about whether his fastidiousness and exceptional organizational skills were innate or learned, Julius referred us to Modernism Rediscovered, the 3-volume set of books put out by TASCHEN in 2007. “They served a purpose, for the architects and the owners,” he stated. Shulman’s life work became a visual record of and testament to the complex allure this unique metropolis holds for the entire world and perhaps especially, its inhabitants. The recently released documentary film ‘Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman’ by director Eric Bricker celebrates and explores the man and the truly extensive influence of his work.

For Wright, Neutra, Lautner, Eames, Koenig, Schindler, Becket, Ain, Soriano, just some of the mid-century masters whose practices were observed by Shulman, responsible design was environmentally involved. “I was weaned and influenced by, on the world of architecture, of design based on integrity, the total design, indoors, outdoors.”

When Fabrik asked if Shulman might like to share some observations regarding his role in helping to construct the ideology of 1960s Los Angeles, he shared the following…

“SHULMAN

— That doesn’t mean anything. Those are words. This is the kind of question that we’re asked quite frequently. When I look at a building, house, commercial building, I don’t go there in a pre- determined consideration. When I go to see a house, I look at it, take out my camera, the composition that comes out is pretty straight-forward. There’s no way of determining in advance what you’re going to do when you photograph any building, like how do I produce these compositions...the best way to describe it would be to take a group into a house or building, ‘Here we are standing, look at this space, how do you put it together, into a composition’...in other words, there’s no determined visual action.

I’ve worked with Richard Neutra...in the beginning, he’d point out to me, to my assistants, what he wanted to show, or what he did not want to show. Most architects, when they call me to do a project, leave me alone, with my assistants, and we set up my own compositions, determine what i personally feel portrays the nature, the spirit of the design… With Neutra in most cases, his insistence was to show the elements which portrayed his own design. Therefore, his work which he wanted to show »

photographically did not persist in portraying what I would see in the same space...frequently, most frequently, I would show a Polaroid print to the client and then an 11 by 14 enlargement of each scene. Most architects were dismayed because I saw in my composition elements that had escaped their own viewing. I had to be good. That’s all.

You cannot portray a scene by describing it in advance. You go in with the architect, the client, and you start working. All this initial enterprise comes out in a photograph, it represents a good estimate of what the architects wants to show. It’s a blessing to be able to do this, and I say to students who are learning photography or architecture, forget it. You cannot lay down a rule. There’s no such thing. So maybe the answer would be ...the only way in retrospect is to take a group into a building that you’d like to have a conversation about. Let’s go to the building.”

FABRIK: Does LA continue to create iconic buildings and if so, please share some that have made an impression on you?

SHULMAN: Well, hell, what is an iconic building? Any one of my large prints out there on the wall could be called iconic.

If you visualize, as we’re here now, a building that you’re familiar with, in downtown L.A., that we could go together sometime, early some morning, a public building, or a library downtown, walk in there with my asst. with a camera, and make a test, pull up a Polaroid picture and pass it around, this is what we’re looking at, and until we see a, b, and c, on the other hand, one of you may ask oh, but you’re not showing that part there, and you might say to make another composition, or you may find that significant enough. It is so much up to each person to make their own selection. There is no way of portraying a space better than being there on the scene. It’s a visual experience. I don’t know if we can answer a question that way.

FABRIK: You were here at the very beginning of modern architecture. Did it seem like it was a revolution in architecture, did it seem like there was something happening, like there was a movement, in the 30s and 40s when all the boxier buildings, the new modern building started coming around?

SHULMAN: I can’t respond to that kind of question. I didn’t see any difference.

FABRIK: Many mid-century buildings in L.A. are threatened by new development (Shulman says matter-of-factly, that’s okay) rather than restored and re-used.

What’s your reaction to the planned destruction of the Century Plaza Hotel and the Century City Gateway West Tower?

SHULMAN: It so happens that the Century City Hotel was one of the very first photographs I did for editors of magazines. It’s a good building. It serves a purpose for a lot of weddings, bar mitzvahs and every kind of ceremony, funeral services. It did serve a purpose. Are we 16

ready now to tear it down? Is there any arbitration? Who decides how and where to tear down such type of a building, a hotel, many people say it’s been around for 20, 30, 40 years, it’s performed a function...it’s difficult. The architects have to meet with the owners, and the public would react to tearing down that wall, or another, and replacing it with something else entirely different...it’s a good building. I’ve taken some awfully good photographs of that same good building. But has it been sufficient? Or has the building been used to its use and function? No, it’s not as good as it was originally. That can happen, to authorize a change.

FABRIK: Are you involved in preserving cultural architecture in Los Angeles?

SHULMAN: Of course I am. I’ll always be there working, whether it’s an old building or new building!

Shulman’s instinct to stage suggestions of stories within his photographs makes them timeless revelations of our fascination with our constructions and our selves. It is to his credit that the iconic image, more often than not, occupies a greater psychic space than the iconic building. The symbiosis between the real and photographed building, as represented by Shulman’s compositions, is what gave modernist architecture its eloquence. In an era when architecture was fixated on the East Coast and Europe, Shulman articulated the quintessential image of Possibility, which was to be found ‘out west.’ » Web fabrikmagazine.com

ICONOCLAST

JUERGEN NOGAI The day after we met with Shulman, Fabrik had attended a lecture at the newly opened Annenberg Space for Photography, where photographer Juergen Nogai and architectural historian Wim de Wit, who heads the Department of Architecture and Design at the Getty Research Institute, were speaking about Shulman’s work, their collaboration over the past decade, as well as Nogai’s multifaceted career as a widely exhibited fine art and commercial photographer.

Juergen Nogai was born in Germany, where he spent most of his professional life. He opened a studio more than 30 years ago doing “fine art” photography, and eventually branched out to advertising and architectural work. He also specialized in JUERGEN NOGAI WITH JULIUS SHULMAN art photography, working for museums and private collectors. When Juergen relocated to Los Angeles in 2000, he almost immediately began a very rewarding collaboration with Julius Shulman, which continues to this day.

We were thrilled to ask Juergen some questions about photography as well.

FABRIK: What is the value of informing the public about architecture?

NOGAI: Do we have to inform people about architecture they have to use, or do we have to inform architects about the people they are building for? I think that what defines the difference between good and bad architecture can be reduced to the functionality of buildings – how is it working, or how are we living and working in it and out of these aspects should follow a clean and exciting design. I think it is important to document the architecture in the context of the use and educate people by showing the building, and explaining it by giving them a tour with my pictures. The observer has to figure out if this kind of architecture works for him, and if he likes it or not. I try to be as objective as possible by giving him visual help to make his decision. That means, I should also be able to photograph architecture, which is not my personal favorite, and still do a good job documenting it for my client.

FABRIK: What is the relationship between the photographed and the “real” building?

NOGAI: Without an architect there is no building and there wouldn’t be a photograph. Today we see a lot of “non- existent” buildings in strange virtual computer worlds. In my photography of »

architecture, I try to be objective with my subjective eye. I try to understand the buildings I will photograph and create their unique story. Our reality is always subjective, it is what we see, realize and feel. I hope, that my clientele will find the ‘real’ building in my photographs.

FABRIK: Do digital technologies alter the way you work and your experience of built spaces?

NOGAI: I am still working 80% analog with high quality large format cameras and lenses, which gives me more creative and technical possibilities, and the quality of film still feels better for me personally than digital images. I think that digital photography created more ‘shooting’ photographers, because there are no film costs involved, there is no risk. By that I mean that the thinking process comes at the end by editing countless images, instead of thinking upfront and creating your story. This means for example, that you create the right composition, find the right position / angel, watch the natural and artificial light situations, people, etc. and make a decision for the tools you have to use to capture, what you have in mind. The camera comes always at the end. I am not exploring the world through the camera, I use it to collect my ideas. My images are normally not altered, where as digital photography, because of its technology, leads itself to a lot of after the fact alteration: in light balancing, color shifting, correcting tilting lines etc., because you always have to go through the computer and its software to look at your images. All of that does not mean that digital photography is in general not appropriate, but it needs a lot of discipline and it is much better placed in press, sport and documentary photography. Let’s say it this way, why should I use a racing car for heavy loads or sight seeing tours – architectural photography needs an understanding of the building, a constructed view to tell its story, so that a recipient can understand it without a floor plan.

FABRIK: Please share the names of some artists who have won your respect/admiration and why.

NOGAI: I am coming from classic art study backgrounds, which lead me to the ideas of the BAUHAUS. So I would say this confrontation with a broad spectrum of art and history, makes it very difficult to name single artists, but for sure a genius such as Da Vinci, challenges not only painters, video artist, musicians, but photographers as well. Among the photographers I admire, I would have to name Alfred Stieglitz, who I feel was so important for his photographic life documentary work, Andre Kertesz, with his personal photographic composition, and unorthodox camera angles, which created his personal photographic style of telling his story. The Bechers, who photographed buildings with large format cameras, in a straightforward and intensely austere ‘objective’ compositions. Reinhart Wolf, who inspired me with his incredible “Faces of Buildings”. I could go on and name more, because I am in general always 20

interested in the world that surrounds me and shapes me. It is like that in my relationship to Julius Shulman. He influences me, and in some ways I also influence him.

FABRIK: Do you collect art, either photography or other forms?

NOGAI: Yes, my wife and I collect art. We collect photography, paintings, weavings, etc. I am more on the side of collecting photography and my wife Jeannie, who is an illustrator, is more responsible for paintings. But we both are open for everything we are confronted and moved by.

ICONOCLAST

NOGAI: The variety of “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.” What I mean by that is the tension that is created between the different colorful cultures and people. The extreme contrast between wealth and poverty, the social problems. You find the glamour of Hollywood, and the people selling this glamour as “Star Maps” and organizing “Star Tours” and then on the other side you have the homeless people pushing their shopping carts through the alleys. The diverse social context gives this city a special dynamic.

Los Angeles is for me a city, which is exciting in its enormous amount of different expressions in art, architecture, film, theatre and music. There are not so many places in our world with such a vibrant and diverse art scene as we have here. The extreme contrast between well thought out architecture, and then the functioning, stucco “living boxes” and over-decorated displays of wealth. It took me some time to realize that this city is permanently pushing me forward in my creative life, and also in putting me in touch with many people with whom I learned different ways of looking at our world.

FABRIK: What do you most love photographing?

I’m a visual person. In that way, I try to capture what I see, and that can be people, social problems, or design in its various forms. Everything that catches my attention, I somehow freeze in my camera as a time document, or just as a creative play with color and form.

Architectural photography, of course, became one of my main interests. Through this profession, I am communicating with architecture and design of all kinds, very intensely, and it became a major part in my photographic life. I feel very lucky that I can do in my life, what I love to do.

As collaborators, Shulman and Nogai have produced books, publications, numerous magazine features and countless private and public assignments. Their work will be on show until August 22nd, 2009, at Craig Krull Gallery, Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA. In Spring 2010, there will be another show at C/O Berlin, International Forum for Visual Dialogue, in Berlin, Germany, followed by an exhibit in September 2010 at Zephyr Gallery in the Museum Mannheim in Mannheim, Germany.

As well as working with Julius Shulman, Juergen works on his own assignments and projects, producing numerous books for publishers including Harry N. Abrams Inc., and Taschen.

MUSEUM SPOTLIGHT WORDS CRAIG STEPHENS IMAGES COURTESY OF THE ANNENBERG SPACE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

ANNENBERG SPACE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY The Los Angeles art community has long been a global beacon for fine arts photography- from its stalwart art fair Photo LA through to an assortment of iconic galleries. A new venue, less bound to the rigors of commerce and with a more philanthropic premise, The Annenberg Space for Photography, offers an innovative cultural destination dedicated to both digital images and print photography by established and emerging artists.

The intimate environment features state-of-the-art, high-definition digital technology as well as traditional prints by some of the world’s most renowned and emerging photographers. The exhibits change three times a year, however the common thread is exhibiting, rather than selling, exceptional photography.

The Photography Space informs and inspires the public by connecting photographers, philanthropy and the human experience through powerful imagery and stories. It is the first solely photographic cultural destination in the Los Angeles area.

As chief curator Patricia Lanza confides,“This is a purist exhibition space. We aren’t driven by salability. If someone wants to buy, we will refer them to the photographer concerned, but our main concern is exhibiting exciting work.”

“We opened on March 25th and have had phenomenal interest from the public, having had over 20,000 people visit the space,” Patricia adds that the Annenberg’s real function is that of a conduit to connect people with the art of photography.

Testament to this commitment to facilitate the public’s access is IRIS NIGHTS, a regular lecture series held at the space. This public program, offered free of charge, by reservation online on a first come first serve basis, brings to life the featured exhibit with hour-long lectures by the photographers featured in the Photography Space exhibits, as well as by other notable guest artists and experts.

Despite what seems a Los Angeles Times monopoly, lectures so far have included the likes of the inimitable Catherine Opie, Patrick Ecclesine, a 33-year-old commercial photographer, and Helen K. Garber, a fine arts photographer. Times photographers Kirk McCoy and Genaro Molina recently offered a talk about the joys of their daily beat .

Photojournalist Carolyn Cole also offered insights into her world. Cole has spent the past 15 years traveling to distant places, capturing the news and bringing it to the readers of the Los Angeles Times. She has covered the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Sudan and Liberia, often focusing on victims caught in the crossfire. Her high impact photography, not only informs, but captures the aesthetics of light, color and composition, often under chaotic circumstances.

MUSEUM SPOTLIGHT

The inaugural exhibition of the Annenberg Space for Photography celebrated contemporary photography through works by eight internationally renowned photographers John Baldessari, Carolyn Cole, Greg Gorman, Lauren Greenfield, Lawrence Ho, Douglas Kirkland, Kirk McKoy, Genaro Molina, Catherine Opie, Julius Shulman and Tim Street-Porter.

Their work focused on the complexity and vitality of the city of Los Angeles by featuring different genres of contemporary photographic exploration – architecture, portraiture, photojournalism, and art – with interrelated themes weaved throughout. Through a relationship with the Los Angeles Times, L8S ANG3LES also featured the work of celebrated Times staff photographers and a selection of archival photographs of the city going back over 100 years.

Julius Shulman and Tim Street-Porter are famous for their focus on both modern and vernacular southern California architecture. Douglas Kirkland and Greg Gorman memorably portray the city's celebrities from the industries for which LA is best known, while Lauren Greenfield's photographs probe the lives of children who “grow up in the shadow of Hollywood.”

Carolyn Cole’s visual reports from international war zones are made for The Los Angeles Times as are the works of Lawrence Ho, Kirk McKoy, and Genaro Molina. Catherine Opie’s series “In and Around Home” merged personal and local issues with global perspectives. And John Baldessari added dry wit to the practice of “nip and tuck” and to “painting” one’s face in his most recent series.

June 28th marked a return to photojournalism for the space with the second exhibit featuring the work of winning photojournalists and visual editors from Pictures of the Year International (POYi), the oldest and most prestigious photojournalism competition in the world. The top images are chosen from more than 45,000 global entries.

Traditionally they were shown on a smaller scale at the University of Missouri at the Missouri School of Journalism. Now, for the first time ever, after 65 years of success in the Midwest, Pictures of the Year International is moving to Los Angeles, where it will exhibit over 80 prints and thousands of digital selections in its new home at the Annenberg Space for Photography, which is on view until November 2nd, 2009.

Kicking off this year’s exhibit was a two-day conference-style event comprised of presentations, discussions and lectures given by the winning photojournalists and visual editors.

Named the 66th Annual Pictures of the Year International Education & Awards Program, this program took place at the Annenberg Space for Photography on Friday, July 10 and in the Ray Kurtzman Theater at Creative Artists Agency on Saturday, July 11, 2009.

The full-day program celebrated the work of the award recipients. Presentations by winners included Photographer of the Year Emilio Morenatti, The Associated Press; the World Understanding Award recipient Jakob Carlsen; and the Photo Editing portfolio recipient Angus McDougall, National Geographic; among others.

MUSEUM SPOTLIGHT

Some of the award-winning presenters included: MAGAZINE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR Uriel Sinai, Getty Images NEWSPAPER PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR Emilio Morenatti, The Associated Press BEST PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK AWARD Jason Eskenazi COMMUNITY AWARENESS AWARD Matt Eich, Aurora Select DOCUMENTARY PROJECT OF THE YEAR Seth Gitner, Roanoke Times & roanoke.com GLOBAL VISION AWARD Balzas Gardi, VII Network ANGUS McDOUGALL OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN EDITING AWARD National Geographic WORLD UNDERSTANDING AWARD Jakob Carlsen, Freelance Again embracing the notion of photography as a documentary tool, Sport, another forthcoming show set for November, observes the work of esteemed Sports photographers Walter Iooss and Neil Leifer.

Running from early November, 2009 through March, 2010, the work of two of the world’s most preeminent sports photographers come together in this compelling exhibit celebrating the athlete. Iooss is best known for his work seen on the front of Sports Illustrated (his images have been shown on more than 300 covers) as well as for his portraits of famous athletes like Michael Jordan and Ken Griffey, Jr. Leifer’s work has also been seen on numerous Sports Illustrated covers as well as well in the pages of Time Magazine. Leifer’s love of sports photography started at a young age when, as a boy in New York City, he would gain free admission to Giants games by pushing the wheelchairs of disabled patrons and then use his free ticket and camera to position himself on the field with professional photographers.

Removed from the need to commodify the work it exhibits, the Annenberg Space’s future shows aim not only to entertain but also educate patrons, offering them valuable insights into both the technical and creative vision of photographers on show.

Chief curator Patricia Lanza concludes, “by offering lectures and digitally documented interviews with photographers, the public has a greater insight and understanding of their work. It’s all about intimacy, where people are connected with the work on every level.”

ARTFUL AFFAIRS WORDS ASHLEY TIBBITS IMAGES COURTESY OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART

LACMA’S DECORATIVE ARTS THE LOS ANGELES CONTEMPORARY MUSEUM OF ART’S (LACMA) permanent collection will always hold a special place in my heart. The home of David Hockney’s iconic (and locally relevant), panoramic Pop painting Mullholland Drive, Kurt Schwitters’ Dada masterful assemblage work Construction for Noble Ladies, and brilliant photographs from renowned artist Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills series, LACMA has long been a veritable venue for the who’s who and what’s what in modern art and beyond. Even in recent years of economic hardship, the museum has only grown more impressive with the addition of its Broad Contemporary Museum of Art, an adjacent museum space heavy on Pop giant like Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, and Robert Rauschenberg, all loaned by art aficionados and philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad. But LACMA’s gifts aren’t only limited to contemporary works. Thanks to the generosity of a few local folk, the museum’s Decorative Arts Department has also recently strengthened its veins.

The collection, which consists of wood, glass, furniture, metal, ceramics, and textiles of periods spanning from the 14th century to the present day, already boasts a bounty of pieces from the Arts and Crafts movement, which flourished from the tail end of the 19th century into the very early 20th century and highlighted a nature-inspired and handmade aesthetic. While the movement took place in England, Canada, and other parts of the United States, California remains a significant location in Arts and Crafts history. Until recently, LACMA already included (among many items) a beautiful cellarette from the New York-based artisan community Roycroft, lighting fixtures by the Linden Glass Company and Karl E. Kipp, furniture from Pasadena’s relished Blacker House (designed by the noted firm Greene 40

Despite the collection having such attractions, one vocal person felt a significant absence in some of the local representation. This person, William J. Zeili, was the greatnephew of a man who ran a furniture shop with Arthur and Lucia Mathews, SETTEE, Sam Maloof two major artists of California’s Arts 1987, U.S., Birch Wood, 26 x 32 x 46 inches. and Crafts movement in the early 1900s. At the time, LACMA’s Decorative Arts and Design collection only held one work by the duo, a landscape painting. At Zeili’s invitation, the Decorative Art department, spearheaded by curator Wendy Kaplan, selected a handful of pieces including a standing candelabrum and a hand-painted chest from the South Pasadena family home. The pieces were unveiled at LACMA on June 14th, 2009.

LACMA’s under-appreciated Decorative Arts and Design Collection also showcases significant works by another California woodworker, Sam Maloof. The MacArthur “Genius” Grant recipient (who died only this year) was a contemporary force in his medium du jour, his works included in many other prestigious collections such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institute of Art. LACMA’s works by Maloof include a stylized-beyond-its-material rocking chair carved from cherry wood, a double-sided music stand, a minimalist settee, and an austere coffee table and chest of drawers.

If these acquisitions weren’t reason enough to explore the Decorative Arts and Design Collection, this LACMA department also features Mid-century silver jewelry by Warren Carter and Ed Wiener, 15th and 16th century Netherlander and Swiss stained glass, and Art Nouveau metal vases and andirons and wooden furniture. But curator Wendy Kaplan certainly gives DUET MUSIC RACK, Sam Maloof special attention to the pieces created locally, making 1984, U.S., Walnut, Rosewood, Rubber, the collection beam California pride.

THROUGH THE LENS

THE LENS OF LA:

FROM MOTION TO STILLNESS Since the 1920’s, Los Angeles has been the capital of moving pictures but only recently is it emerging as a center of fine art photography. In the 1980’s, LA had only one major photography gallery. Today, Los Angeles has over 20 galleries entirely dedicated to exhibiting the art of image making. Photo LA, an international photographic art expo, celebrated its 18th year in 2009.

As confirmation of the ‘still’ movement, the first Los Angeles photography museum, the Annenberg Space for Photography opened in March. A few months later, the renovated Annenberg Community Beach House opened to display a Santa Monica Beach photo exhibit of 27 photographers’ work. Month of Photography Los Angeles (MOPLA) was launched this year by the Lucie Foundation to support and promote Los Angeles photographers by the Lucie Foundation. Los Angeles is now the second largest photography community in the United States. Fabrik Magazine highlights a few of our favorite LA photographer artists. »

UTA BARTH Born in Berlin, Uta Barth’s Los Angeles home is where the art is. She is interested in perception, in how we see rather than what we see. Therefore subject matter is of little importance to her and she finds no logic in “going out to photograph.” Instead she makes images in her own home, the place where she happens to be most of the time. The images are not about autobiography or metaphors of the domestic and therefore she makes a great effort to remove personal information from the work.

Her influences are not found in the history of photography, yet she makes photographs because the camera is the closet thing to the human eye. She lists the Light and Space movement, artist Robert Irwin and Robert Ryman along with Brian Eno’s ambient music and the atmospheric writings by Joan Didion as points of departure that inspire and inform her Zen-like practice. Her visceral and hauntingly beautiful images have been shown in galleries and museums around the globe. She has also been a recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004 and the Broad Art Foundation USA Artist Fellowship in 2008. Numerous monographs have been published on her work. www.tanyabonakdargallery.com

LENA HERZOG As an intellectual heavyweight, linguist, and philosophy graduate, Russian born Herzog utilizes photography to ponder the big questions of life in both direct and abstract ways. Her passion developed when she took pictures at a bullfight with her grandfather’s old Kiev camera. She simply followed the handwritten note in his leather case saying, “At high sun close to 16 at 1/125th” and much to her amazement, the pictures actually captured the emotional intensity of her experience. Since then, her images continue to reveal intimate and raw moments of humanity around the globe whether she’s shooting flamenco dancers in Spain, Buddhist pilgrims in India or burlesque performers in New Orleans. She also works as a still photographer on set with her husband, award-winning filmmaker Werner Herzog. www.lenaherzog.com Web fabrikmagazine.com

MARC VALESELLA Building Corners. Hairy Legs. Guns. Storage Units. These are some of the peculiar subjects Marc Valesella extracts beauty from as an archeologist unearths buried treasures. FrenchAmerican Valesella’s keen eye was first discovered in 1977 by the fashion magazine Mode International. He traded the fast life of the Parisian fashion world to live and work in Los Angeles “where the high contrast light of the city facilitates my Chiaroscuro style” in his words. As a supreme nostalgic, he explains why he still gets excited every time the shutter releases on his camera, “I love the impossible quest of stopping time of a moment that will never exist again. But what’s really excites me is how the photo moves the viewer emotionally. I believe beauty can change the world: beauty is everywhere among us but takes discipline to see it.”

Valesella is also a self-taught master printer. www.marcvalesella.com www.craigkrullgallery.com

DANIEL WHEELER The jack-of-all-trade artist returns to his first love of artistic expression and literally makes a splash with his photography series, “GULP”, shot under water in swimming pools revealing a dream-like, ethereal landscape of Los Angeles. He explains why Los Angeles is his muse, “It’s a city in a desert that has been turned into a garden megalopolis.

The resulting disjuncture between incredible physical beauty and abjection here creates an almost unbearable tension. It is repugnant and seductive at the same time. I love that and work toward the same thing in the things I make.” His watery images are only a part of Wheeler’s Generative Urban Landscape Project (GULP) that has spanned over four years and includes drawings, sculptures and performances. www.bigobjects.com • www.duncanmillergallery.com 48

MARK WYSE Wyse, student of the great photographer Stephen Shore, uses the idea of the camera as a dispassionate recording device as well as the larger question of how artists' conscious and unconscious intentions manifest themselves in photographs. Nazraeli Press, his book publisher, speaks of his talent in the context of Los Angeles, “It’s no surprise Mark Wyse hones his artistic vision in LA. His images, rich with rapture of light and detail both confound and embrace photographic conventions.”

Before Nazraeli, he self-published a book with a title that leaves nothing to the imagination of its subject matter that launched his career, “17 Parked Cars in Various Parking Lots on the Pacific Coast Highway between My House and Ed Ruscha’s”. A photo from his “Marks of Indifference” series was recently featured in the Reality Check: Truth and Illusion Photography exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of New York and he is a visiting faculty member at UCLA. www.wallspacegallery.com

PAMELA BARISH Is that a vintage piece you’re wearing? No, it’s a 2009 Pamela Barish design. Pamela’s clothing line for women embodies a modern yet timeless essence. You could easily envision Scarlet Johanssen or Audrey Hepburn at a summer soiree in one of Pamela’s playfully sophisticated floral print dresses. Her designs are a rare find in today’s trend obsessed fashion worldthey allow a woman’s personality to make an impression rather than her outfit.

ed to buy some cute dresses. She said yes and wrote me a check.” After 30 years of designing for rock stars to Neiman’s, she opened her store in 2004 with a line of ready-to-wear clothes in addition to her made-to-order clothes.

“I don’t follow fashion at all,” Pamela explains her individuality in design. “I hardly look at magazines. I like what I like, what is sensible in the most whimsical way.” A lot of ladies like what she likes too – including Meg Ryan, Rosanna Arquette, and Cher to name drop a few.

Her spring/summer line of figure flattering dresses, sheer ruffled blouses and bohemian ankle length skirts are only appreciated fully in person.

Truly, each garment inspires awe as you experience the luscious fabrics and supreme craftsmanship. In this economy, it’s vital to support local and support people who produce fine quality. Pamela Barish is a quintessential example of both – a resident of Venice for almost two decades and visibly committed to creating clothes that emphasize all that is feminine: elegance with a stitch of sass.

Speaking of Cher, seventeen year old Pamela had a fortuitous encounter that would launch her career. “I was walking down the street in Beverly Hills with a bunch of hippie dresses, and I ran into Cher,” she says. “I asked if she want-

STRANGE INVISIBLE PERFUMES Ever been entranced by a scent that instantly took you back to childhood memories of playing in your grandma’s backyard laced with lilacs or a romantic trip with your lover to the spice-laden land of Morocco? Sensory memory is powerful and owner Alexandra Balahoutis capitalizes on this by using stories and memories as inspiration for her natural and ecofriendly fragrances and bath/body products.

Born and raised among the aromatic Hollywood hills, she was destined for an olfactory based life. At the market, while other children asked their mothers for candy, Alexandra pleaded for a bottle of Turkish rose water.

Even at seven years of age, Barbie’s perfume bored her. Fourteen years later she began her official quest for capturing the wild territory of botanical perfumery; diligently seeking how to deliver luxurious, authentic fragrances without using synthetic essences.

In 2000, she set herself apart in the fragrance world by launching the Strange Invisible house of fragrances that adheres relentlessly to three essential components: pure aromatic plants, reverent distillation and evocative design.

L’Invisible, the signature scent of amber, rose, lemon and ylang ylang, is chameleon-like as it changes with the person wearing it. A portion of the sale of the musky Magnolia Street, inspired by New Orleans, goes to support postKatrina reconstruction projects. One of Alexander’s spring 2009 creations, Urban Lily, has been elegantly likened to Grace Kelly essence.

You can also get your very own essence encapsulated. At the back of the store is a rose colored glass room where Alexandra, based on a detailed questionnaire about your memories and lifestyle, designs a custom-tailored fragrance all about you.

EQUATOR BOOKS Endangered species to preserve: the earth’s natural resources, the humpback whale, the U.S. economy, and now the eclectic eQuator bookstore. Upon its eminent danger of extinction, non-trust fund owners Michael and Philip created a “Save the Equator” campaign complete with a hand-painted thermometer indicating how much money is still needed to stop another local, small fish business from being flushed down the toilet.

Opened with just pure passion for art and books in 2004, eQuator is an airy minimalist garage space designed by local architect Raina Alomar featuring hard-to-find books and art shows from local artists. It is a serious intellectual hub framed by the laid back, zany energy of Venice.

Do your part for the bibliophile in you by buying a must-have vintage issue of Playboy, a coffee table photo book of surfing or circus freaks, an LP of a Blue Note musician, a controversial piece of art by owner Michael or a gift card which you can snag right on their website.

As of June 2009, eQuator opened a coffee shop to further stimulate, via caffeine, lofty pontifications about literature and creative endeavor.

Slow and steady wins the race, according to owners Keiko and Taku Shinomoto. They discovered this ‘tortoise-life’ philosophy after quitting their high-powered jobs in Japan and living day to day as a turtle would with only the shell on their back.

Desperately needing a creative outlet outside of her grueling law practice, Sand Brim opened Altered Space Gallery featuring mostly local artists in 1995. Even though the arts-craftsdesign gallery relocated a few times and finally settled in Venice since 2004, Altered Space has stayed true to its mission: promoting and featuring artists that have mastered their medium with a balance of artistry and craft.

After noticing human lifespan was increasing yet man-made products’ lifespan were decreasing encouraging consummate consumerism, they dedicated themselves to promoting in Taku’s words, “things which have been here for a long time, things which were made by hand with heart… (using) techniques which have been fostered through history”.

They opened Tortoise General Store in 2003 selling only the highest quality Japanese items like Snow Peak camping gear (which is like the Hermes of outdoor lifestyle), designer Yanagi’s strikingly simple kitchenware or a hand-sewn baby kimono onesie.

Nothing is ‘lost in translation’ as the Shinomoto’s less-is-more aesthetic has been wildly received.

So much that in 2008, they opened a gallery a block down the street highlighting Japanese art, vintage jewelry, hinoki soaking tubs and furniture designed by Taku himself.

Currently, the Tortoise gallery is featuring the work of woodblock artist and Soto-Zen Buddhist monk, Shodo Iwagaki. Check their website to find upcoming Japanese artist appearances and shows.

DESIGN DIVO BLANCHES AT

Villa Blanca EVER WONDERED WHAT happened to the cast of Dallas? No need to miss them anymore, because the new Villa Blanca restaurant in Beverly Hills is their local hangout. At 6:30 pm, it is an already buzzing scene of the formerly famous and fabulous.

Most were probably in high school when Elvis had his first hit.

Opened, as one of the world’s fastest renovation jobs, after only three weeks of closing the former restaurant Trilussa, designer and owner Lisa Vanderpump Todd spun the once humble corner of Brighton and Camden like a disco ball into an airy Mediterranean-by-the-sea world. White couches and white billowy curtains serve as the backdrop to highlight the metallic Villa Blanca emblem that adorns everything from the staff uniforms to their private labeled wine and champagne. The overstated emblem throughout the restaurant reminds me of the Juicy or Christian Audigier movement that I call ‘brand name masturbation’ – the inability to resist slapping their moniker on bizarre places like the seat of a fleece pant suit or a car air freshener.

Lisa and Ken Todd, who also own Weho’s SUR and twenty other clubs and restaurants in London, know their assets and audience. Keenly capitalizing on Los Angeles, home of the beautiful people, they only hired servers with looks that could distract from the important elements of a successful restaurant: quality food served by knowledgeable, professional servers. As my 68

friend and I sat at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail, we couldn’t help but be awestruck by our bartender who was more beautiful than his signature Hendricks gin gimlet, which was outstandingly well balanced and perfectly desirable. Avoid sitting at the bar if possible unless you’re tucked into the corner seats, it’s like perching yourself on the 405 freeway trying to avoid the oncoming traffic of servers and guests going in and out of the Camden side door.

Looking forward to finding out if I could forgive the Caesar Palace circa 1980’s décor by the culinary craftsmanship of Chef Francis Dimitrius, formerly from Koi; we checked in with the snarky English host revealing much man cleavage and chains.

The moment finally came when we were seated among another busy thoroughfare.

Much like the décor, the menu is also tiresomely familiar – California nouvelle cuisine with winks to Asian, Italian and Mediterranean influence. Although, the menu is a safe bet for people who prefer proverbial. Let’s see, Tuna Tartare… check.

Caprese salad…check. Peppercorn Filet Mignon…check. There were some surprises like the truffle mushroom pizza and the deliciously delicate yuku and pink champagne sorbets.

The biggest astonishment of the evening was the strangely mesmerizing outfits worn by the female servers. They looked like something Cher would wear as a tour guide of Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise ride.

Maybe you’ll be seeing this glam safari wear trend premier on the next Project Runway episode.

Aside from my sharp observations and opening in an economic climate that devours restaurants for a bedtime snack, Villa Blanca is chock-full of happy diners from lunch to dinner.

MANNY SILVERMAN GALLERY

Bitch is the New Black

Michael Goldberg

THRU AUGUST 29, 2009

THRU AUGUST 15, 2009

“Bitch is the New Black,” running until August 29, takes its title from an interaction on Saturday Night Live during the 2008 presidential campaign, but here it’s repurposed to describe the attitude(s) and approach(es) of 14 newly prominent women artists whose work could be characterized as neo-feminist. The work is at once heady and tough, no-nonsense and comical, sexy and dour.

Artists include Kirsten Stoltman, Mindy Shapero, Anna Sew Hoy, Amanda Ross-Ho, Cathy Opie, Ruby Neri, Shana Lutker, Annie Lapin, Pearl C. Hsiung, Krysten Cunningham, Rosson Crow, Andrea Bowers, Kathryn Andrews, and Cathy Akers.

This is the gallery’s first Michael Goldberg exhibition since the indefatigable and much-loved New York abstract expressionist died two years ago. The show concentrates on Goldberg’s later work, when his expansive slashes had given way to denser, more lyrical markings, his palette had lightened and intensified, and his energy danced in every corner of the canvas.

Gallery Hours: Tues.-Sat., 10 - 6 pm.

2622 S. La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles, 90034.

SUSANNE VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES PROJECTS Patrick Wilson THRU AUGUST 29, 2009

KOPLIN DEL RIO West Coast Drawings THRU AUGUST 29, 2009

“West Coast Drawings” is the gallery’s eighth such survey, rounding up over 20 artists who work in – well, at least around and near – traditional representation. The figure figures prominently, of course, but there are still life and landscape subjects on view as well. Organized by Seattle artist Norman Lundin, the group hanging in Culver City until August 29th includes artists from the northern end of the West Coast; a selection of 19 southern Californians showed in Seattle in July.

Gallery Hours: Tues.-Fri. 10- 5:30 pm, Sat. 11-5:30 pm.

6031 Washington Blvd., Culver City, 90232.

For more information: (310) 836-9055; www.koplindelrio.com

Patrick Wilson’s latest paintings and works on paper, on view through August 29, continue his investigation of color and transparency in geometric formats, but take more and more liberties with those formats, shifting panels and overlaying unlikely combinations and discovering new translucencies. The large canvases are the most striking, but some of the oddest, most intriguing things happen in the smaller-scaled series.

Gallery Hours: Tues.-Sat., 11-6 pm and by appointment.

5795 West Washington Blvd., Culver City, 90232.

WESTERN PROJECTS We’re Not the Jet Set THRU SEPTEMBER 5, 2009

THE LOFT AT LIZ’S Diverted Destruction THRU SEPTEMBER 15, 2009

The gallery’s second annual “Diverted Destruction” show, up through September 15, displays work created from objects rescued from landfill. That is, instead of throwing away things like used teabags, crushed soda cans, junk mail or package wrapping, the artists – Juan Rosenfeldt, Sandy Schimmel Gold, Lark Pilinsky, Melinda Altshuler, Maddy Le Mel, and Steve Olson – make art of them.

“We’re Not the Jet Set,” on display until September 5, pairs the diaristic collages and notations of punk princess Exene Cervenka (also featured in the Craft and Folk Art Museum’s “Celestial Ash”) with the hilarious word interventions Wayne White visits on cheesy vintage lithographs. Who knew neo-Pop could be this much fun?

Gallery Hours: Tues.-Fri. 11-6 pm, Sat. 11-5 pm.

Post-American L.A. THRU SEPTEMBER 26, 2009

BERGAMOT STATION: GALLERY LUISOTTI Nighttown THRU AUGUST 22, 2009

“Nighttown,” referencing James Joyce’s Ulysses, runs through August 22 and compiles the night-enshrouded photo-images of some of America’s leading photographers – Dike Blair, Frank Gohlke, Robert Adams, Henry Wessel, Michael Ormerod, Lewis Baltz, Shirley Irons, Mark Ruwedel, and John Divola – along with Japan’s Toshio Shibata. Shibata’s Tokyo shots date from the early ‘80s, while Gohlke’s, Wessel’s, and Baltz’s at least a decade earlier, from back when they were leading the exploration of the modern American landscape.

The latest politically tinged theme show at this activist West Side art center, “Post-American L.A.” examines the waning of American worldwide hegemony and how this is impacting both our world and our country, right down to our city streets. On view until September 26 is work

by Chen Shaoxiong, Vincent Ramos, Adrian Paci, Glenn Ligon, Vincent Johnson, Ashley Hunt, Hugo Hopping, Sandra de la Loza, and Carolina Caycedo.

THRU SEPTEMBER 19, 2009

The gallery’s annual summer survey of new and underexposed talent, now in its fourth year, has become the must-see show taking us from one season to the next.

“Rogue Wave ’09,” installed until September 19, includes work by Matt Wedel, Fran Siegel, Tia Pulitzer, Kaz Oshiro, Dianna Molzan, Annie Lapin, Richard Kraft, Olga Koumoundouros (who has her own installation at REDCAT), Micol Hebron, and Erin Cosgrove.

BERGAMOT STATION: FRANK LLOYD GALLERY West Coast Sculpture THRU AUGUST 29, 2009

The by-now-classic three-dimensional work of six California artists comes together until August 29 under the no-nonsense rubric of “West Coast Sculpture.”

Recent work by Larry Bell and John Mason of Los Angeles and northern California’s Robert Hudson is paired with Ken Price’s early-70s “Geometric Cups,” a late bronze by Peter Voulkos, and ceramic work by the late Robert Graham.

BERGAMOT STATION: SHOSHANA WAYNE French Connection THRU SEPTEMBER 5, 2009

Nicole Cohen’s video-projection installation “French Connection,” up until September 5, is an impressionistic documentation of the Pennsylvania town French Azilum that had been built as a possible refuge for the exiled French queen Marie Antoinette. The failure of the project through no fault of its own perfumes Cohen’s already beautiful installation with a captivating poignancy.

On view until September 12, “Superficiality and Superexcrescence” brings together 13 local artists who are deeply committed to the superficial. That is, they investigate in various ways how outward appearance actually reveals and manifests inner substance “as code, nuance, and implication.” The artists include Catherine Sullivan, Tia Pulitzer, Kori Newkirk, Joel Morrison, Blue McRight, Elad Lassry, Kurt Kauper, Elliott Hundley, Salomón Huerta, Lia Halloran, Marcelino Gonçalves, Rebecca Campbell, and Amy Adler.

Gallery Hours: Tues.-Sat., 10-5 pm, Thurs. 10-7 pm.

ARTABOUTTOWN WORDS PETER FRANK

CRAFT AND FOLK ART MUSEUM Celestial Ash: Assemblages from Los Angeles, Ancient Gods and Modern Politics: Mithila Painting THRU SEPTEMBER 18

The four artists in “Celestial Ash” have been influenced to varying degrees by the eccentrically exquisite work of (New York-based) surrealist box-maker Joseph Cornell; but they all share his spirit of poetic happenstance, a love of objects for their ability to “rhyme” with one another.

Like Cornell, all four eschew political and social issues, the kind of subjects for which southern California assemblage (as practiced by the likes of Edward Kienholz and Wallace Berman) is traditionally best known. Rather, they practically dream their structures, their juxtapositions, their ruminations on reality which invariably turn reality on its head. Michael McMillen, who shows an assemblage installation incorporating sound and film as well as objets, is the best known visual artist among these four Los Angelenos, but Exene Cervenka, who exhibits elaborately collaged and drawn journal entries, is of course famed as a punk rocker. Matjames, formerly of New Orleans, has a notable back story as well, his intricate assemblages resulting from his flight from Hurricane Katrina and ensuing post-traumatic stress, but the memory boxes of self-taught painter Gail Greenfield Randall come from just as personal a place, triggered as they were

by the death of her grandmother. No less visually or circumstantially compelling are the narrative Mithila paintings – part cartoon, part votive, part social commentary – of the women of Bihar, a rural region of India. The Mithila pictures conflate the intimate with the worldly, the religious with the profane, and anger with humor, and comprise one of the world’s great contemporary folk art traditions.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (LACMA) Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists from Korea THRU SEPTEMBER 20

Over the past two decades art in South Korea has been swept up into the international discourse of contemporary art, and you’re as likely to find young artists in Seoul – and young Korean expats in Berlin or LA – doing politically tinged or personally revealing video, performance, and installation as you are doing abstract sculpture or hyper-realist painting. For “Your Bright Future,” departing LACMA curator Lynn Zelevansky and Houston Fine Arts Museum curator Christine Starkman brought forth the most avant garde work in the Korean artistic firmament – finding a dozen artists

who, even when they are directly emulating the approaches of other international experimentalists, do so with a unique flair, energy, poetic sensibility, and in many cases concern with the social and political conditions of their rapidly evolving country. The works range in shape, size, and message from the exuberantly colorful hyper-consumerist mega-installations of Choi Jeonghwa, which festoon the outside of the museum, to Minouk Lim’s video projections laden with recent Korean history, from the hilarious but socially charged situations set up by Gimhongsok to Do-Ho Suh’s huge, extravagant house sculptures. Such capsule descriptions do a disservice to the poignancy, mystery, audacity, and sometimes phenomenal craft these artists bring to their work – part of what distinguishes them, as individuals and as Koreans, from the rest of the international crowd.

While at LACMA, don’t miss “Pompeii and the Roman Villa: Art and Culture around the Bay of Naples,” a stunning archaeological/artistic display that looks at the artistic heights reached at, well, exactly the wrong time in the shadow of Vesuvius, through October 4.

in Wien/Wien in L.A.” connects our city’s first resident modernist architects, the Austrian-born Rudolf Schindler and Richard Neutra, to five of their more-or-less direct post-modernist – actually neo-modernist – inheritors. Zaha Hadid and Peter Cook/Archigram are based entirely in Europe, but the other three – Hitoshi Abe, Morphosis, and Eric Owen Moss – have major offices here. All five competed in a competition sponsored last fall by the Vienna University of Economics and Business, but the Vienna-LA connection is clearly one of style and spirit; the clean lines and dynamic compositions that animated the geometric thinking of Neutra and Schindler recur with a vengeance in the work of today’s leading architects, so their presence in Vienna brings the city’s architectural heritage, nurtured a continent away, back home. Moss is the subject of his own exhibition nearby. “If Not Now, When?” is something of a polemic against the grid, which Moss describes as the dominant form for organizing architectural structure since the dawn of Western civilization. Instead, he proposes examining the curve, “a contrary ordering mechanism,” as “a different spatial prospect – the possibility of a center.” Moss’s installation dramatically counter-poses curve with grid, and in this context, the sexiness of the curve alone wins Moss’s argument for him.

SCI-ARC L.A. in Wien/Wien in L.A., Eric Owen Moss Architects: If Not Now, When?

THRU SEPTEMBER 13

The two exhibitions at Sci-Arc’s sprawling downtown-east building together make the same powerful case that the school itself does for Los Angeles as a one of the international capitals of architecture. The library exhibition “L.A. Web fabrikmagazine.com

A confluence of elaborately reasoned visual and verbal puns, quotations from recent popular culture sources, slick pictorial methods, and references to the gay demimonde drives Larry Johnson’s oeuvre. Its silly, superficial appearance deliberately belies (and to the initiated, slyly heralds) a keen critique of modern American culture, seen through the eyes of a Los Angeles native who grew up working-class on television and the consumer culture but whose “difference” – as artist, as intellectual, as homosexual – allowed him a critical distance from the world around him. The glamorous alternatives available in so many parts of town have understandably fascinated Johnson, but the Cal Arts graduate is ultimately no kinder to the art scene or the cruising scene than he is to the Wal-Mart scene or the TV screen. In fact, Johnson treats the entire spectrum of his experience with an arch tolerance, buying into none of it but indulging it all with a certain fondness. In his appropriation of cartoon imagery (although not of any specific cartoons), movie-star glamour shots, Russian constructivist caricatures, the simplified renditions found in local newspaper ads, and other wildly disparate sources, Johnson conjures a kind of neo-Pop art whose apparent naiveté is so emphatic that it winks at you and invites you into a game of interpretation. This kind of hipster-ironic iconography goes back to the 1980s – when Larry Johnson, among others, invented it. And he’s one of the few in whose hands it doesn’t collapse under its own snark.

ARTIST SHOWCASE

JAYE ALISON MOSCARIELLO Jaye Alison Moscariello's new body of work, "Chase, The Monkey" invokes the primal idea of love and fun within the spirit. She employs expressive color and sinuous line to evoke the powerful connections between/among human beings and nature.

Her palette suggests the tropics without being garish, and her self-assured contour drawing reminds some viewers of Matisse, communicating a lot with just a little. Her figures chase the élan of human interaction in their colorful environs. The figures become the masters of their domain, man stripped down to his animal. They are everyone and anyone, existing in a locale where identity lies not as deeply as the desire for freedom and joy.
