“From Dennis Hopper to Sandow Birk, Andy Moses, Fred Tomaselli, Bruce Conner, George Herms, Jay Mark Johnson, Timothy Williams, Norton Wisdom, and countless others, Venice Beach, California has been more than a shared neighborhood — it's been a muse. Legendary as an attractor basin for poets and artists for a century, it's also a surf mecca; and as the new multi-venue exhibition organized by NYEHAUS amply demonstrates, more often than not, those passions inhabit the same soul. This mammoth exhibition of painting, sculpture, performance, video, and photography runs the gamut of media and image style from the picturesque to the dark and abstract — because after all, there are as many visions of what art can be as there are drops of water in the ocean.”

NYEHAUS says:
Curated by Tim Nye and Jacqueline Miro. This survey of art inspired by surf and beach culture will open to the public on July 1st at the three locations in Chelsea and will include work by most members of the group of Venice Beach artists known as Light and Space and Finish Fetish. The show historically contextualizes beach culture and its poetic and freeing nature on the Beat Generation, Assemblage, Light and Space, Finish Fetish, and early Pop Art. From this group of California artists, works by Wallace Berman, George Herms, Bruce Conner, Llyn Foulkes, Ed Kienholz, Billy Al Bengston, Tony Berlant, Ed Ruscha, Laddie John Dill, Dewain Valentine, Peter Alexander, John McCracken, Larry Bell, Craig Kauffman, and Helen Pashgian will be on view.
