Note:
The exhibition wraps with a mammoth Hammer Bash! on Friday, May 29 from 7-11pm, featuring live music from Foulkes on his one-man-orchestra organ, "The Machine," accompanied by live painting from Norton Wisdom.
Exploring the idea of reinvention, Nine Lives: Visionary Artists from LA illuminates the creative undercurrent of a city that has long been synonymous with "the industry." Works such as Victoria Reynolds' sickly sensual raw-meat paintings, Lisa Anne Auerbach's subversive sweaters, and painter Llyn Foulkes' innovative explorations of dimension and illusion each occupy their own room, moving the viewer through an ethereal landscape of pop culture, alternate universes, and reconstructed identities. The exhibition and associated programs highlight the idiosyncratic essence of life in the Southland, coalescing the installations, videos, paintings, drawings, photographs, and textiles into a single narrative that extols the beguiling spirit of the City of Angels.
