CALIFORNIA E.A.R. UNIT: CHAMP VITAL (LIFE FIELD)

MEMBERS OF CALIFORNIA E.A.R. UNIT

Described by the L.A. Times as “triumphantly out there”…the E.A.R. Unit ensemble is known for “taking left turns away from convention.” and performing with “exuberance and razor sharp precision.” They return to REDCAT with an all new program featuring another stunning piece composed for violin, piano and percussion, by the inimitable David Rosenboom, known as an innovator in composition for instruments, electronics, and multi-media, a virtuoso performer (piano, electronics, violin, viola, percussion, conductor, performance artist), and a developer of computer applications in interdisciplinary performance. His newest composition Champ Vital is inspired by ideas of morphogenesis and evolution, employing melodic shape mutations to build 25 transformative variations on a hidden theme.

The evening also explores the works of the Unit’s own core members, masterful violinist Eric KM Clark, virtuoso pianist Vicki Ray, and dynamic percussionist Amy Knoles, whose inventive performances are always visually as well as sonically engaging. Clark’s exPAT is an aggressive odyssey scored for “distorted instruments”. Amy Knoles’ electronics-savvy Belgo II is a clever confounding of violin, piano, sampled text and bird song, and Vicki Ray’s Jugg(ular)ling follows the ever-increasing complexity of juggling feats captured on video. The E.A.R. Unit will also presents the U.S. premiere of Christopher Tonkin’s Widdop, Phaetons… Relic, based on three poems by Ted Hughes.

- Historical Humanism — The Photography of Anthony Friedkin
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  I first saw Anthony Friedkin's work at the Stephen Cohen Gallery on Beverly Boulevard about six months ago. A large black and white fiber print of four overly muscled prisoners who were in full-body jackets of gangbanging tattoos. The four men stood shirtless, in the exercise yard at Folsom prison, their arms wrapped around one another, skin to skin. The ... continue
- Los Angles at Art Basel Miami Beach
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  Amidst the howling cacophony of contemporary art, Los Angeles work was solidly represented at Art Basel Miami Beach and at the countless satellite shows that surround and envelope it. At the Miami Beach Convention center, Regan Projects commanded a commodious prime corner spot on the Art Basel stage with their California-centric art selling briskly-well. Over at Art Miami, Peter Fetterman, photographed ... continue
- In Recognition of an LA-Centric Art Market Trend
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  Over the past few decades, Los Angeles has played host to more than its fair share of artists whose work did not conform to the fashions and trends of the day. It could be said that LA became, and still is, a haven for artists whose desire to stay true to their creative spirit and artistic philosophy outweighs the ... continue
- ARTspace at College Art Association Conference
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  As the preeminent international forum for the visual arts, every year the College Art Association (CAA) conference brings together over 5,000 artists and designers, art historians, students, educators, critics, curators, librarians, gallerists, and other professionals in the visual arts to engage in an intellectual, aesthetic, and professional exchange.

- Art as a Gift that Keeps on Giving! The Art of Elysium’s Jennifer Howell: A Profile
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  It is entirely fitting that a person intent on actually cultivating elysium, the Greek word referring to a place or condition of ideal happiness, would be embraced wholeheartedly by the culture of Los Angeles. Already well examined as a site where the seemingly impossible becomes possible, L.A., home to a mind-boggling plethora of creative talent, is also notably a ... continue

- John Waguespack Deconstructs Hollywood
  no responses - Posted 01.07.12
  Painter John Waguespack is the consummate outsider artist. A former ad agency creative director, he hasn't looked back since opting out of his day job to pursue a full-time painting career. Waguespack's second solo show, "Deconstructing Hollywood," is on view through January 21st at the esteemed McLoughlin Gallery at 49 Geary. As a testament to his ability, Waguespack scored an uncharacteristic ... continue

Royal T

A genius architectural masterpiece of unobstructed space within a space, Royal T is LA’s first Japanese style ‘cosplay’ (short for costume play) café, shop and art space. Get lost in a fantasy land of Susan Hancock’s modern Japanese art collection encased in Lucite walls while enjoying high tea served by Japanese servers frocked in [...]

Museum of Jurassic Technology

no responses

Some things are better enjoyed without trying to find meaning or clarify the point. The obscure Museum of Jurassic Technology on Venice Blvd. is one of these profound experiences. If you go expecting to see a more traditional technology museum with artifacts and linear explanations, you’ll only end up with a headache or [...]

Gregg Fleishman Gallery

Gregg Fleishman, a creative Culver City icon for over thirty-two years, is like the Einstein of furniture designers. Fleishman, sporting a worn baseball cap and an unassuming flannel shirt, truly is a genius craftsman using geometry and function as his guide.
