Posted by sleepboy, May 4, 2010

In addition to the images we had for you in our teaser for Luke Chueh’s (interviewed) show this weekend, we have some new images for you from the new body of work entitled “Beginnings / Endings (And Other Worthless Ephiphanies)”. Reprising some of his favorite imagery from the past, this show opening Saturday, May 8th at the Copro Gallery, is meant to be, like the title suggests, a stylistic bookend before Luke begins to explore and experiment with themes inspired by his love/hate relationship with […]

Opening: Thomas Doyle – “Collateral Damage” @ Lebasse Projects

Posted by Khoi, May 3, 2010

Thomas Doyle is the man all girls and boys look up to and admire, not only because he creates fascinating and immersive works of art, but also because he is pursuing his childhood love, creating three dimensional worlds using only his imagination and two hands. We are all much better off thanks to his career decision. In his first solo show in Los Angeles, Doyle presents his recognizable sculptures of intricate miniature snapshots of life and for the very first time, photographs. More after the […]

Showing: Damien Hirst and Michael Joo – “Have You Ever Really Looked at the Sun?” @ Haunch of Venison Gallery

Posted by Khoi, May 3, 2010

Have You Ever Really Looked at the Sun is a two-man exhibition featuring two artists who have known each other since 1991 when they met in Cologne — Damien Hirst and Michael Joo. Although this is the first time the duo have worked with each other, they have been in correspondence and discourse regarding their respective artistic practices since they’ve met. Joo’s work in the show explores ideas about identity, nature, and the body. Hirst, as you might expect, focuses on mortality, life, and death. […]

Openings: Faile Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade – NYC edition

Posted by juggernut3, May 3, 2010

This past weekend, Faile and Bast opened the New York version of their famed “Deluxx Fluxx Arcade” show. The pop-up gallery located in the LES (Lower East Side) of the city was subject to many rumors and discussions during this busy week of art in the Big Apple. Many who thought this show was imported from the recent blockbuster UK arcade show were pleasantly surprised to discover that the artists created a fresh set of machines/installations for this unique vision of one of our favorite childhood past […]

Posted by juggernut3, May 3, 2010

AM attended the opening of Mark Ryden’s latest series of work “The Gay 90’s: Old Tyme Art Show” at Paul Kasmin Gallery (previewed). As expected, the space was packed with art enthusiasts that were clamoring to see Mr. Ryden’s amazing talents. Mark certainly didn’t disappoint as he created a cohesive body of works that are as diverse as they are great. It seems to have it all, dreamy canvas paintings, detailed drawings, and even gorgeously rendered watercolors. It was a true pleasure to see Mark’s work […]

Openings: Rooms @ Scion Space

Posted by juggernut3, April 30, 2010

On Saturday night, AM attended the opening of “Rooms” at Scion Space (previewed). The show, curated by Roger Gastman, certainly brought us back to the old school days of youth. A wide array of nostalgic goodness such as Laser Tag, VHS lined living rooms, Michael Jordan & Dream Team posters, elementary school desks, bus stops, gothic throwbacks and even an outdoor street/play area were included. There was literally something for everyone to reminisce on. The artists: Adam Wallacavage, Bill Daniel, Chris Stain, Dan Monick & […]

Highlights: Recommended openings for April 29 – May 2

Posted by Andrew Hosner, April 30, 2010

NYC is the place to be this weekend – Ryden, Julie Heffernan, Faile/Bast, and Shepard Fairey – just a stunning lineup of shows offering something for every taste. Shepard’s big show at Deitch is by far leading the charge – the turnout for this show should really keep the local officials on their toes considering it’s the end of an era as well, with this being the final show at Deitch’s space before he turns his attention to MOCA in Los Angeles. This is one […]
