Information at The Signal: A Conversation With Ed Ruscha
no responses - Posted 10.21.08
Fabrik: Did you feel like LA was an outpost when you started working here? Like there was a small group of artists, intellectuals, filmmakers, and writers that were in on some sort of secret? Ruscha: LA is such a huge megalopolis that I need to centralize my thinking about it. I am out in Venice now, but I “grew up” in ... continue -
Morono Kiang Gallery: Portal To New Chinese Art
no responses - Posted 10.21.08
Oddly, new Chinese art has less of a presence in Los Angeles than in almost any other international art center. One can surmise why, but that’s the facts. There have been few exhibitions, commercial or institutional, of Chinese work in these parts. Marc Richards was the first gallerist to introduce the work here, as part of his dealing in ... continue -

no responses - Posted 10.21.08
DRAWING THE FUTURE Commissioned to portray sometimes quite rudimentary planning schemes as they might appear in final form Diniz proposed how their densities, siting and choreography would be perceived; and how their social patterns of occupancy and interaction might work.

Howe's political sensibility and environmental awareness (she's on the board of WildPlaces, a nonprofit committed to ecological restoration, land use advocacy and ... continue -

Jeff Hurlow “The Collector”
1 response - Posted 10.21.08
In college I studied art, so most of the earliest pieces I picked up were through trades and favors. I also remember distinctly thinking, “I have no desire to do this for a living.” To me, the gallery system seemed like a game with the odds stacked against you. There were few options for young artists, and I knew I ... continue -
Tanzore Restaurant
no responses - Posted 10.21.08
As I pull myself away from the blue lagoon lounge, a towering glass wine case transitions the lounge from the main dining room. The colors dramatically shift from cool to warm, reminding me of the spices found in Indian dishes like cinnamon and saffron. It’s a gay-sian delight: golden cubed lighting, an undulating wooden wall, flowery-striped wallpaper, burgundy ceilings ... continue
