It's October? When did that happen? I swear I JUST paid September's rent, like, yesterday. Time flies when you're having fun/on a deadline, eh? Well this means that everyone is back in the swing of things, Pacific Standard Time is in full swing and our days are shorter and colder so you can't blow off art for the beach anymore. See you around this weekend, there is some GREAT stuff going on! More»

I know you guys probably assume I survive on only art and creativity, but alas, I need food, shelter and full time employment to support it. This week in said job, I have been super busy! It's great, but it has kept me from really being able to do a full awesome weekly update! So I'm doing something a little different. More»

The end of the (technical) summer is here. This is good news for me for multiple reasons: my translucent skin, my aversion to shorts, the art world's vacation is finally coming to an end. This doesn't mean that I didn't find some awesome things for you guys, just that in the next couple of weeks everyone will be stepping up their game and it will be on, the beginning of the season. This must be what hunters feel like 2 weeks before deer/duck/bear/buffalo season starts up. Anticipation is in the air! More»

Models: they're always so hungry! Of course, that comes with the territory to some extent, but people who judge the fashion industry on its shallowness tend to heap that judgment on the models themselves, without properly sympathizing with just how hard it is to spend your entire adult life on a lettuce-and-cigarettes diet. The fact is, being hungry ain't no fun, and while talk of healthier modeling standards and minimum body-mass might now entitle our statuesque friends to one extra piece of bread a month, it's still tough work. The key, then, is to fill the void with something else, like cocaine, or better yet, creativity. That's where Feed A Model comes in. More»

End of April showers, beginning of May flowers... or something. All I know is, it's warm enough to not wear a sweater of any sort and I am excited about that. I am also looking forward to the brief relief of the AC at galleries and museums while I am walking around town cursing at myself for forgetting sunscreen, again. So, here are the rules: Go outside, Wear Sunscreen, See Art, Enjoy yourself. Think you can do that? Good! See you around town then! More»

Our hearts broke when news of Dennis Hopper's death arrived on Memorial Day Weekend, just days after a press release for his one-man art exhibition at MOCA to be curated by Julian Schnabel was disseminated.  With even more awareness of the show as the result of the artist's passing, Jeffrey Deitch opened his first undertaking as the new director of MOCA on Saturday with Dennis Hopper Double Standard.

Enthusiasm for Star Wars isn't just for sci-fi geeks. In fact, the legendary trilogy is experiencing a hot moment in the art scene these days.  "The Vader Project," on display since last week on Melrose between Highland and La Brea, is comprised of 100 different versions by 100 different artists of the villainous Darth Vader's iconic helmet.

The whole meaning and principle of art may be threatened by a little exhibition opening this weekend in Silver Lake.  Aptly titled "Trashed," the show posits the question of what makes something art, displaying the refuse of nine artists from around the country and even Canada. More»
