LA Art Show Cracks the Codeof the LA Art Market

“After 20 Years, We Know Art in LA...”

The LA Art Show is Los Angeles’ Art Show. With FIAC’s recent

announcement postponing their first foray into the LA market,

it has become increasingly clear the only art fair to crack the

code for success in the city is the LA Art Show. Taking place

January 14-18, 2015 at the Los Angeles Convention Center,

The LA Art Show is a 200,000 square foot platform for fine

art that brings in more than 50,000 visitors, eager to see

120 galleries representing 22 countries from North & South

America, Europe & Asia.

LA is the hottest and quickly becoming the most important

art Scene in the US. Many fairs have tried and failed to engage

the city’s vibrant market over the years including: Art Platform

Los Angeles, The Affordable Art Fair, Pulse, and most recently,

the Worldwide Art Fair. Yet none has made a mark like the LA

Art Show, which meets the need of this very diverse city with


20TH ANNIVERSARY I LA ART SHOW 2015


a comprehensive art experience that has been curated into

two distinct sections: Modern & Contemporary and Historic &

Traditional Contemporary.

Over the years, the show has changed and grown with Los

Angeles. With attendance figures climbing annually, the LA

Art Show has a proven record for success. Fueled by the

show’s production team who, in conjunction with a vetting

committee, compile a select group of galleries, the LA Art

Show has grown to be the platform for art in the West.

The LA Art Show has received media accolades from: the Los

Angeles Times, Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, KCET, KPCC, Artnet,

Art Daily, NBC Los Angeles, the Orange County Register, The

Huffington Post, LA Magazine, The Los Angeles Daily News,

The Pasadena Star News, The Daily Breeze, Examiner.com,

LAist, Cartwheel Art, Fine Art Connoisseur, Art Nerd and

others. In addition, an extensive New York Times article high-

lighting the Treasures of the Maya Spirit exhibition at our

sister event, the Los Angeles, Jewelry, Antique and Design Show.

January is your time to be a part of the LA art scene, to

participate in the confluence of events that have sprung up to

take advantage of the 50,000 art enthusiasts and collectors

that visit the LA Art Show.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or merely an admirer of the arts, we are certain that the LA Art Show will provide you with a special experience in the world of Modern, Contemporary, Historic and Traditional Art. We have created the most diverse Art Show in the world.

The Modern and Contemporary galleries of the LA ART SHOW represent the present and future of Art and Art Collecting. The “Old Masters” were the upstarts of their time period and a few of today’s artists are sure to be the Old Masters of the future. Art has always been at the forefront of society, bravely going where others feared to tread, whether it was the use of color, texture, composition or materials, artists have always pushed the envelope. It takes a discerning eye and measure of courage to embrace and appreciate the new and the different, and today’s collectors are a brave and appreciative crowd.

A show of this magnitude requires coordinated efforts from a myriad of people, and I wish to thank my entire team, whose dedication and hard work made this show possible. I am grateful to all our new participants and to the many great galleries that return each year who travel here so that we may enjoy their spectacular works of art.

The LA Art Show is proud to serve as a vehicle for today’s artist to be showcased and displayed. We are pleased to provide our guests with the opportunity to enjoy a unique assortment of creative expression from all corners of the globe. I am proud to welcome you to the 20th edition of the LA Art Show and to celebrate the fertile efforts of the human mind. Enjoy the Show!

Welcome to the 20th annual LA Art Show, offering you the most diverse experience of stimulating visual art. We are excited to announce that over 120 galleries from across the nation and from 22 different countries will gather to present our 20th anniversary Show, making it truly an exceptional and unique art exhibition.

Looking back on my 20 year involvement with the LA Art Show, I am proud and honored to see how the fair has evolved: changed locations, expanded its platform for galleries who represent the vanguard of fine art, and reflected the scope and trajectory of the vibrant Los Angeles art scene. The fair’s reputation—earned over the last two decades—has been manifested by showing work of the highest merit and serving as the only event to strategically incorporate galleries representing diverse art genres to broaden its audience. Enthusiasts with varying tastes from modern and contemporary to historic and traditional, as well as works on paper, sculpture, and installations, are able to see it all under one umbrella.

As a perfect complement to our 20th anniversary, this year’s beneficiary is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®. Our Opening Night Premiere Party, hosted by Amy Adams and Darren Le Gallo, will honor St. Jude and their lifesaving mission. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. Together, we celebrate the ability to help spread the word to our peers and drive the overall survival rate for childhood cancer to 90% in the next decade.

We continuously develop new projects to strengthen the fair’s commitment to the art world. With the return of Littletopia, stimulating programming and special exhibition content, the LA Art Show offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the political and cultural impact of art, as well as experience unique installations and performances.

I would like to thank our incredible host committee, sponsors, media partners, and staff for their dedication and hard work to help the fair continuously grow and thrive. With utmost gratitude, I am thankful to our exhibitors, who continue to discover talent and put their determination behind an ambitious vision. Finally, I thank our attendees, who purchase and appreciate art, and who ultimately determine the success of all our effort. Together, we have made the LA Art Show the longest running and leading art show in the western United States.

Sincerely,

Kim MartindaleGeneral Manager/PartnerLA Art Show

Now and Then: A conversation about the differences in the artistic

processes of art from two Cuban artists living in different countries

Speakers: Cuban artists Angel Delgado and Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios

Moderator: Marisa Caichiolo, President of Building Bridges Art Foundation

Now and Then explores the artistic processes of two Cuban artists who have

produced works of art outside Cuba while still representing their cultural

heritage. Angel Delgado’s exile from Cuba compelled him to transform his

artistic style while paying homage to Cuban culture. Similarly, Angel Ricardo

Ricardo Rios creates large-scale works of art while residing in Mexico. This

panel will explore the impact of their conceptual and artistic processes in their

works of art, as well as, those who collect their work and who displays them.

Décor à la Mode: Decorators and Clients in Art Deco France

Speaker: Jared Goss

Please join author Jared Goss as he examines some of the most colorful figures

from the roster of international clients who commissioned high-style French

Art Deco interiors during the 1910s, ‘20s, and ‘30s, including silent movie

stars, stage actresses, fashion designers, industrialists, explorers, courtesans,

and even royalty. Not only will the clients be addressed, but so too will be the

specific and spectacular interiors they commissioned as well as the brilliant

designers—such as Jean Dunand, Jean-Michel Frank, Henri Rapin, and E-J

Ruhlmann—who realized them. This lecture derives from research undertaken

for Goss’s book, French Art Deco, a catalogue of nearly one hundred pieces

from The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s modern design collection, published

in October 2014.

Reinterpretations: A Conversation Between Recent Quilt

and Figure Paintings

Panelists: Sedrick Huckaby and Thomas French

Sedrick Huckaby’s veneration of the ordinary is exemplified in his 9 x 14 foot

painting “Just a Few Patches,” which will be on view at the LA Art Show. This

painting monumentalizes a small patch of a quilt made by an African-American

woman in the last century, handed down through her family. For Huckaby,

these quilts were the African-American women’s form of jazz. Women would sit

together making quilts, creating rhythmic patterns and improvising as needed.

They created harmony in the quilt. The quilts became more than blankets—

they were about community and creativity. Huckaby focuses on the subject

of the quilt, expounding on its metaphor for family, faith, and heritage, and its

potential to communicate themes of love and reconciliation—to create dialogue

bridging generational gaps. In creating “Just a Few Patches,” Huckaby was

inspired by the story of George Washington Carver’s conversation with God

about the peanut: the revelation of an entire world to discover in the peanut,

instead of the futile attempt to comprehend the entire universe. With the quilt

as his peanut, Huckaby finds a world to discover in just a few patches. His

painted quilts are grandly symbolic, expressionistic and sometimes abstracted

—yet poetic and personal—a way to cherish quilts hand-crafted by people and

embody their makers.

What dialogue is there between the quilt and the portrait? How are these two

subjects so closely connected in his work? Join our conversation to learn more!

Panel discussion on Japanese Contemporary Art

Panelists: Tamie Okuyama, Toshimitsu Ito, Akira Omori, Kazz Morishita, and Maiko Kitagawa

Moderator: Matt Kennedy

Five Japanese artists, who are featured among the nine Japanese galleries

exhibited at the LA Art Show, will hold an in depth panel discussion focusing

on Contemporary Japanese Art: the influence of traditional and contemporary

Japanese art on their work in comparison to Western art; their perspectives

on current trends in the Japanese contemporary art world; their unique styles

of surrealist and pop surrealist painting; photography and sculpture; as well as

other forms of contemporary painting.

Mindful Design and the Art of Storytelling

Speaker: Paul Vincent Wiseman

PVW and his talented team at TWG have been creating luxurious interior

design for over 30 years. How have they created such a rich and diverse

portfolio? Why, upon completion of the project, do clients feel so grounded

and at peace living in their homes? Why do world-renowned architect Frank

Gehry and esteemed architecture critic Paul Goldberger sing the firm’s praises?

By sharing the backstory of three exceptional residences, Mr. Wiseman gives

you a firsthand look at the answer: “Mindful” design that tells a distinctive

story in harmony with the site, the architecture and the needs and dreams of

the clients.

Tansaekhwa artists' painting methods and identify each individual artist,

Breaking with Tradition: Contemporary Chinese Ink Painting and its

Conceptualization

Panelists: Li Gang, Contemporary ink artist; Wu Zhan, Curator of Chinese Cultural Media Group

Moderator: Weimei Chen, Director of Chinese Art Affairs

Presenting a large collection of Li Gang’s ink painting, this conversation between

the artist and curator, Wu Zhan, will explore the evolution of Li’s artistic practice

in which he takes Western modern and contemporary art styles and transforms

them using a traditional medium.

Li Gang’s success as a contemporary artist stems from his ability to break

through the traditional perceptions of ink and creates a new conceptualization.

His contemporary ink art is a classic example of the development of Chinese ink

art from the past to present.

line between sponsors and patrons is ever-blurred. In our temporary culture, is

the difference even relevant? Where are the Medicis of today, or is it reasonable

to expect such ideal patronage? The last year has seen public art developments

that were not imaginable even 24 months ago. Some murals have been painted

out as unpermitted, some have been given reprieve by City Hall, and some artists

couldn’t care less if their murals are legal or not. Money is never far away, as walls

have been appropriated, donated, rented, leased, bought and sold. What does

history have to teach us about the economics of renaissance and culture? How can

the City, artists, commercial enterprise and citizens co-exist in this landscape? Join

the Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles for a panel discussion, as we explore our

contemporary public art scene standing at the crossroads of economics, culture,

politics and history.

What is Public Art and Who is it For?

Panelists: Brad Howe, artist; Shana Nys Dambrot, art critic and writer; Rick Robinson, Robbie Conal, Elizabeta Betinski, Margaret Bruning and Frances Anderton.

Public Art these days has become increasingly difficult to define, and answers

about its arbiters and custodians more difficult to answer. Beyond the

conventional purview of the majestic civic plaza sculpture, murals and street

art, billboards, private developments, and even more transitory performative

works are all dynamic parts of the discourse. Steps from the Downtown

business and art districts, the mural culture in the Arts District, and the restored

Olympic Freeway Murals, artist Brad Howe (whose work is on view in the Show

entrance) and critic Shana Nys Dambrot assemble a panel of artists, curators,

and policy-makers to address timely and salient questions like: Who is the

public, what constitutes public space, who are the custodians of existing public

works, what are the current policies governing the practice in Los Angeles.

Inclusion and Engagement at the Museum of Latin American Art

Speaker: Edward Hayes, Jr., Assistant Curator of Museum of Latin American Art


This year, the Museum expanded its definition of Latin American art to include

Chicano and Latino art. Prior to this action, MOLAA focused on the work of

artists who lived and worked in Latin America. With the opening of Mex/LA,

MOLAA’s 2011 Pacific Standard Time exhibition, the Museum began to move in

a new direction to embrace the breadth of Latin American art. Join Assistant

Curator Edward Hayes, Jr. for a panel discussion about the museum’s initiatives.

Panelists will address the topic of inclusion from the perspective of museum

education, curatorial programming, and collecting.

Chinese Classical Furniture and Chinese Culture

Speakers: Pu Anguo, Dean of Chinese Redwood Research Institute; Liu Yangsong, Chairman of Beijing Yuanshenglongbo Furniture Co., Ltd

Classical Chinese furniture is a very significant element of China’s rich cultural

heritage. It is an outstanding representative of the oriental arts, so it is not only

the furniture, but also the work of art that can be collected. The lecture will

consist of a discussion about the brief history and style of Chinese furniture, its

value, and its evolution in Chinese culture.

The Arts District: The Development of an Art Scene and the Art of

Development presented by Cartwheel Art and Arts District Alliance

Panelists: Yuval Bar-Zemer, Mark Borman, Stephen Seemayer, Carlton Davis, Steve Grody, Ashleigh Sumner, Yasmina Cadiz and Weimei Chen.

Co-Moderators: Cindy Schwarzstein and Justin Shenkarow

Cartwheel Art, along with The Arts District Alliance, a project of Arts District

Community Council LA (ADCCLA) presents a panel discussion featuring artists,

developers, historians and creative entrepreneurs exploring the history of the

Downtown Los Angeles Arts District and how the area's shifting elements

contribute to today's changes in one of the city's most unique neighborhoods.

The Arts District's past and present mirror the issues facing many cities as they

develop older districts into attractive creative hubs for businesses and residents.

Developers from around the world are purchasing land, redeveloping historical

buildings, and starting to build from the ground up in an unprecedented rush

for property, which threatens to displace the artists and earlier adopters who

gave the neighborhood its unique character.

Some of the questions for the panelists will be: Why do developers follow

artists? Why is the Arts District one of the “hottest” areas in the country?

What is it about artists that make an area “cool” and create a fervor that more

mainstream people then follow? Can the Arts District balance development

and maintain its authentic core as a neighborhood rich with artists who might

not be rich?

33UAE I PAST FORWARD: CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE EMIRATES

34

The Embassy of the United Arab

Emirates (UAE) in Washington D.C.,

in collaboration with the 2015 LA ART

SHOW - presents a special exhibition

at this year’s show - Past Forward:

Contemporary Art from the Emirates.

Organized by the Embassy and the

Meridian International Center, this

groundbreaking cultural diplomacy

program brings Emirati artwork and

artists to the United States. The

installation tells the story of the

UAE’s rich history, culture and rapid

development through the works of 13

notable Emirati artists. Past Forward

represents the first major touring

exhibition of Emirati art in the world,

and will be on view in Los Angeles as

part of the exhibition’s tour around

the US through 2016.

The 5,000 square-foot exhibition

space at the LA ART SHOW 2015 is

designed to highlight Emirati culture

through a selection of artworks and a

Majlis – an Arabic term which means

a “place of sitting” that is often used

to encourage conversation and an

exchange of ideas. The exhibition

space features 13 Emirati artworks and

is covered by a contemporary Arabian

tent that will host conversations about

Emirati culture and the UAE’s vibrant

art scene. The main exhibition area

highlights the influence of culture and

change on cotemporary Emirati art.

Flanking this area are photographs,

video, and sculpture from the UAE,

each of which feature some of the

country’s talented artists.

MAIN EXHIBITION

The United Arab Emirates has a

growing, vibrant art scene that is

flourishing today as the UAE becomes

an international destination for art and

culture. The UAE is home to a number

of world-renowned events, like the

Sharjah Biennial, Art Dubai, and Abu

Dhabi Art. The UAE’s homegrown

art movement is complimented by

an array of museums and galleries

– ranging from over 20 museums

in Sharjah, to Dubai’s burgeoning

galleries, to Abu

photography, and paintings have

been featured in numerous solo and

Museum.

Dhabi’s signature Saadiyat Cultural

District, which will host branches of

the Guggenheim Museum and the

Louvre, as well as the Sheikh Zayed

National Museum and a world-class

performing arts center.

Past Forward: Contemporary Art from the Emirates includes artworks

that feature core elements of Emirati

life and represent all seven emirates. It

features artists who draw inspiration

from their nation’s history, society,

environment and architecture. While

the overarching theme highlights the

balance between moving forward as

a nation and holding onto traditional

roots, several other motifs emerge

as well. These include an emphasis

on kinship and home, nature and

landscape, and technology and

innovation. While immersed in a

fast-moving, transitional space

continually being updated with

the latest technology and modern

architecture, Emirati artists remain

deeply connected to their traditions.

These paintings, photographs,

sculptures and other media reflect

how the UAE has embraced rapid

economic development over the past

forty years, while simultaneously

maintaining its rich heritage. The

artists and artwork represented in

this exhibition characterize the past,

present, and future of this dynamic

nation.

The people of the United Arab

Emirates (UAE) preserve many

customs from their Bedouin

ancestors, including the importance

of hospitality. Traditionally, Bedouins

extended their generosity to all

travelers in the desert. They invited

complete strangers to stay with them

for up to three days. Bedouins also

frequently used large and ornate

tents, where they hosted gatherings

and feasts. Visitors to the 2015 LA

ART SHOW will get a glimpse into

this unique culture when they visit

the United Arab Emirates “Featured

Guest Country” exhibition. Through

the exhibit, guests will enjoy learning

about the UAE’s rich history and

vibrant culture.

In addition to viewing works of art by

notable Emirati artists, the Embassy

of the UAE provides LA ART SHOW

guests the experience of a modern

interpretation of a traditional Bedouin

tent that invokes the imagery and

vibrancy of contemporary Arabia.

During the opening night visitors

will also be welcomed to the UAE

“Featured Guest Country” pavilion by

local Emirati students in traditional

national dress - men in long, white

robes called a dishdash and women

in black abayas with ornate designs.

Keeping with the tradition of their

ancestors, visitors will be presented

with traditional Arabic coffee and

dates, as they explore the exhibit.

Highlights of 2015 Chinese Contemporary Art

hinese contemporary art has developed over the past thirty years through trials and hardships. From absorbing the ideas and techniques in Western painting to developing a critical adaptation, Chinese contemporary artists have constantly endeavored to refresh and expand their understanding and interpretation of art.

The themed exhibition of “ Inspirations-Highlights of 2015 Chinese Contemporary Art” to be presented during the 2015 LA ART SHOW will feature easel painting works by prominent Chinese contemporary artists, including Zhang Hong, Ding She, Xu Junhua, Chen Jian, Zhou Gang, Chen Jiushuang, and Su Xing. Abstract ex-pression is deeply rooted in Chinese culture of a long history, reflected in symbols, design elements, art forms, decorations and people’s aesthetic response.

At this exhibition, the artists will display their most dynamic and passionate original works to showcase their view of the swiftly changing world and their life experience as reflected through art, forming the soul image of their generation. There are no heroic epics or revolutionary storms, but the globally common issues.

In different styles and patterns, the artworks displayed at this exhibition either focus on contemporary abstract images, or bright colors, or feature exquisite texture and lively charm, but they all tell the stories, metaphorically, of the development and essence of traditional Chinese art, as well as the imaginative symbols they have created.

The artist Justin naturally gravitates to all that is beautiful, bright and cheery. He is attracted to bold colors, shimmering material and glittering metals. His humbleness beginning from a historical town in Malaysia sets the backdrop for his quest to see the world. He had set his sights on the world`s biggest and brightest cities because he believes that is where all exciting things happen. He traveled around the world in search of all its glory. From ancient cities, palaces to deep sea nature reserves, deserts, snow top mountain and aboriginal settlements. What fascinates and influences his work is the struggles of these cultures to create and survive its surroundings–leaving behind a worthy heritage.

Shanghai Art Fair delegation has participated in the fourth annual LA ART SHOW, has brought the most outstanding abstract artist Ding She, Zhang Hong, Xu Junhua’s artwork this year, aims to show the contemporary Chinese abstract art style through this international event, to open a new window for the international art market to understand Chinese abstract art.

Ding She,b.1972Landscape in Grid10-1, 2010Acrylic on Canvas90 X 90cm

Ding She consciously built his painting into the framework of point and line, with simple form of painting while the effect of show is open. All the elements are derived from nature and the universe to show the purification of abstract language. Such aesthetic language of painting refers a different kind of attitude. He believes this can promote contemporary aesthetics,also shows deeper aesthetic pursuit.

Zhang Hong selects a casual expression, let the heat of life bloom spirit of aesthetics in order to communicate with the audience of his work. Abstract expression of his emotion is the closest primary art, which depart from the soul, writing ideas, presenting beauty. Handwriting series are the one he uses color writing himself.

Xu Junhua emphasizes inherent rhythm and color of abstract paintings, through the bold strokes and heart rendering to show the appearance and feelings of the universe, rather than show images of the nature.

ART 1000 ZONE

Lacquer art in China has been used since the Shang dynasty for decorating and preserving wooden objects. It has evolved over time becoming more intricate and refined, serving more as collections of art than simply preservations. Su Xing, born in 1962, is a renowned modern Chinese Lacquer Artist. Su has dedicated his life to the art of lacquer painting, experimenting with different techniques and recreations in Lacquer Painting, adapting of art form, and integrating new ideas into his work. In 2005, Su successfully invented lacquer paints that come in tubes like oil colour, which greatly reduces the time needed to prepare l acquer paints and gives instant lacquer colours that are more vibrant. In Su’s words, it gives more expressive and imaginative results. The invention of tubed lacquer paint has been named a “revolutionary break-through in lacquer art history”.

Light of Ink- Chinese Contemporary Art’s Restart

In recent years, “contemporary Chinese ink” has become a brand-new direc-

tion of Chinese contemporary art. Such phenomenon exists in the large amount

of exhibitions held by Chinese art museums, galleries and art fairs, and also

manifests in the high price of auctions. During the “Light of Ink- Chinese Con-

temporary Art’s Restart” of the National Exhibition of China, we would like to in-

troduce a group of excellent contemporary Chinese ink artists to the audiences

from all over the world.

Among these artists, Li Gang combines the traditional Chinese ink’s concept

with Western art’s abstraction to form his unique art style. Through his art works,

Li Gang tries to research the changes of traditional Chinese ink within the con-

temporary cultural context. He underlines that the Chinese ink should say good-

bye to ancient taste, and should be reconstructed under contemporary context.

Furthermore, artist Zhuang Yujun has reconstructed the traditional Chinese fig-

ure painting into huge art works with Pop Art concept. He changes the individual

scholar painting into public art. Through the “monument” of well-known celebri-

ties, Zhuang Yujun tries to express the special value of traditional Chinese art

concept in the contemporary society.

And in other young artists’ paintings, the old Chinese ink has become rich and

colorful. Among these works, there are private feelings about daily life, contem-

porary reconstruction of traditional Chinese ink skills, and mixture of Renais-

sance style and Chinese culture as well. Through these hundreds of paintings,

we try to present the most typical and creative Chinese contemporary ink paint-

ings.

“Chinese Dream” Accompanies with Art

In recent years, art communication has Chinese culture is becoming much

more influential in the world along with the development of Chinese society. It

can be seen that more and more Chinese cultural element has become the

inspiration for the whole world, such as fashion and movies, even in foreign

people’s daily life. Therefore, the world needs Chinese culture, and Chinese

culture go abroad is an irresistable trend.

During the recent 5 years, we could find that Chinese art has played an impor-

tant role and achieved good result as well. This year, the exhibition brought by

China Cultural Media Group, a large state-owned enterprise under the Ministry

of Culture of the People’s Republic of China, will show different kinds of Chi-

nese art works to the world: we will present “Light of Ink- Chinese Contem-

porary Art’s Restart” painting exhibition, Traditional Thangka Art Exhibition and

Chinese Classical Furniture Exhibition. I believe that these great pieces of art

will bring a brand new visual feast to the American audiences and also open

a door for the foreign collectors and artists to comprehend Chinese culture.

As a national team of cultural enterprises, we will select the most representa-

tive art works of China to go abroad, so that they could present the magnifi-

cence of Chinese art to the audience from all over the world. We will try our

best to promote the Chinese art works into international market through excel-

lent art fairs such as LA ART SHOW, and making glorious Chinese art works

becoming foreign people’s collection.

At LAAS 2015, Volvo collaborated with Freewaves to highlight the work of Pascual Sisto, an artist living in Los Angeles and representing the digital edge of contemporary art. Freewaves has repeatedly shown his videos, including during How Can You Resist at the Hammer Museum and during Hollywould on the boulevard; as well as a permanent piece in the Bradley Terminal at LAX’s See Change in the International Arrivals area. Shown at the LA ART SHOW are his video installation Push/Pull (my luck is your misfortune) and latest video works on monitors from his Expanded Series. Sisto has created a site specific multimedia installation inside the booth to function as expanded environment in which to experience the connections between the two works.

PASCUAL SISTOPush/Pull (my luck is your misfortune)

Two video projections face each other in a darkened room. A never-ending, tunnel-like flow of automobiles passes from one screen to the other, approaching in white and receding in red. These opposing, kaleidoscopic images create a suspended state for the viewer, neither coming nor going, in the space in between. These seductive automobiles that overwhelm L.A. are complemented with digitally enhanced plants, tranquil in the aftermath. The video animations, printed carpet and custom painted set walls match the color and patterns of the plants to allure viewers into an expanded synthetic environment. The photographic and the synthetic co-mingle, asking the viewer to sort the realities from the forgeries so easily combined.

PASCUAL SISTOAucuba Expanded About Pascual Sisto

Pascual Sisto is an internationally recognized artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Highlights of his recent noteable international commissions include: a commission by Michael Tilson Thomas, former conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, to create a unique video scenography for the New World Symphony in Miami; a commission by architect Thom Mayne to create multiple video works at the Centre Pompidou; and a commission by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department to create a permanent installation of 29-channel video at LAX airport.

At LAAS 2015, Volvo collaborated with Freewaves to highlight the work of Pascual Sisto, an artist living in Los Angeles and representing the digital edge of contemporary art. Freewaves has repeatedly shown his videos, including during How Can You Resist at the Hammer Museum and during Hollywould on the boulevard; as well as a permanent piece in the Bradley Terminal at LAX’s See Change in the International Arrivals area. Shown at the LA ART SHOW are his video installation Push/Pull (my luck is your misfortune) and latest video works on monitors from his Expanded Series. Sisto has created a site specific multimedia installation inside the booth to function as expanded environment in which to experience the connections between the two works.

PASCUAL SISTOPush/Pull (my luck is your misfortune)

Two video projections face each other in a darkened room. A never-ending, tunnel-like flow of automobiles passes from one screen to the other, approaching in white and receding in red. These opposing, kaleidoscopic images create a suspended state for the viewer, neither coming nor going, in the space in between. These seductive automobiles that overwhelm L.A. are complemented with digitally enhanced plants, tranquil in the aftermath. The video animations, printed carpet and custom painted set walls match the color and patterns of the plants to allure viewers into an expanded synthetic environment. The photographic and the synthetic co-mingle, asking the viewer to sort the realities from the forgeries so easily combined.

PASCUAL SISTOAucuba Expanded About Pascual Sisto

Pascual Sisto is an internationally recognized artist and filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Highlights of his recent noteable international commissions include: a commission by Michael Tilson Thomas, former conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, to create a unique video scenography for the New World Symphony in Miami; a commission by architect Thom Mayne to create multiple video works at the Centre Pompidou; and a commission by the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department to create a permanent installation of 29-channel video at LAX airport.

Engaging the Art Community

C A R T W H E E L A R T. C O M

“Dark Progressivism: Metropolis Rising”

the first international presentation of this Southern California nativist genre. The very public darkness of the last fifty years in L.A.—natural disasters, race riots, gang wars, serial killers, police brutality, drugs, crushing poverty contrasted by insane wealth—and our rich cultural mix are the roots of this style that is now being recognized in the art and academic worlds.

The artists included—many of whom are featured in the film, Dark Progressivism: On Rupture to Rebellion—

present works in black, white, and shades of gray, drawing on their roots in gang graffiti, illicit murals, and tattooing. The palate also comments on the shadows out of which the artists, and Southern California as whole, have progressed over the past five decades. Additionally, the monochromatic theme in “Dark Progressivism: Metropolis Rising” connects to the Hollywood genre of film noir and its predecessor, German Expressionism.

Some of the artists are internationally known, others are emerging, and one is a prisoner in Pelican Bay Prison’s Secure Housing Unit. Curated by Cartwheel Art editorial director Lisa Derrick and author/filmmaker Rodrigo Ribera d’Ebre, the exhibition features Abel M. Alejandre, Big Sleeps, Chaz Bojorquez, Cryptik, Daniel Gonzalez, Roberto Gutiérrez, Ed Gutter, Jesse Hazelip, Jason Hernandez, Juan Carlos Muñoz Hernandez, Alex Defer Kizu, Patrick Martinez, Jack Morris, Rafael Reyes, and Joe Prime Reza.

Please join us on Sunday 1pm for a book signing with Rodrigo Ribera d’Ebre, Big Sleeps and Rafael Reyes.

Based in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, Cartwheel Art publishes an online art magazine with engaging content and provides a full range of promotional and editorial media services in addition to producing and offering tours of Downtown Los Angeles Arts District.

THE FROSTIG COLLECTION

Once again, we are beyond thrilled to be back at the LA ART SHOW! We know that the booth space for non-profits is very limited and we are honored to have been chosen to spread the word about THE FROSTIG COLLECTION and the important work that we do.

THE FROSTIG COLLECTION is an on-going series of small sculptures and additional works of art that have been created by well-known artists to raise money for a social skills program for children with learning disabilities, Asperger’s and high-functioning autism at the renowned Frostig Center in Pasadena, CA. All artworks are sold in limited editions or as a series.

The Frostig Collection Artists are:

Lita Albuquerque, Charles Arnoldi, Gary Baseman, Larry Bell, Lynda Benglis, David Buckingham, Chris Burdon, Guy Dill, Frank Gehry, Robert Graham, Brad Howe, Eric Johnson, Matt Johnson, Michael Kalish, Michael C. McMillen, Ed Moses, Gwynn Murrill, Kenton Nelson, Sarah Perry, Chris Piazza, Ken Price, Nancy Rubins, Allison Saar, Mike Stilkey, David Trulli and Ray Turner.

At this year’s LA Art Show we are featuring one of the Frostig Collection’s artists, RAY TURNER and his ever-growing POPULATION series, which has been traveling to museums across the country over the last several years.

Population is a unique and expanding series of portraits, which are executed with oil paint on 12” x 12” glass squares, that celebrates a cross-section of people from across the country. As the exhibition evolves with the addition of new portraits from different communities, the body of work will increasingly reflect the nation’s cultural makeup as well as the complex and changing nature of “place”.

Ray Turner was kind enough to paint 9 of the Frostig Collection’s artists as his contribution to our collection and program and those portraits are featured here at The La Art Show as well.

To see all of the Frostig Collection artworks please visit: www.thefrostigcollection.org

To see more of Ray Turners Population series please visit: http://rayturner.us/works/population

With much gratitude,

Dear Arts Enthusiast,

On behalf of the Staff, Board of Directors and Artists of the Los Angeles Art Association (LAAA), please allow me to welcome you to the 2015 Los Angeles Art Show. As I reflect on a nw year, I’m proud of LAAA’s 90-year role in the formation of Los Angeles’ arts community. Today, I remain committed to our ongoing mission of providing emerging artists with the experience, education and exposure needed to create and sustain careers in the arts. Our unique status as a non-profit oranization provides us with the flxibility for risk-taking beyond what is possible in the commercial gallery system, thereby positioning the organization as a driver of innovative, contemporary content in Los Angeles. As THE place for emerging art in Los Angeles, LAAA serves as both a feeder resource for the larger art community and a highly visible platform that fosters greater awareness for exciting, emerging artists.

Mindful of the huge impact that emerging artists make to all aspects of our shared quality of life, LAAA believes that emerging artists, even the most non-traditional talents, require access to a professional exhibition space and the career support to expand and realize their singular artistic visions. The successes and expanded services we provide to local artists and art advocates address important needs not confronted by most civic and cultural agencies. By filling this need LAAA has deeloped into an essential resource for Los Angeles’ emerging artists. In 2014 alone, LAAA expanded our mission in the following ways to meet the needs of local artists:

•LAAA served over 500 artists of all media, provided 31 scholarships to economically challengedartists, presented 27 exhibitions at Gallery 825, 10 offsite exhibitions, 3 full-day artists training, 48 artists critique groups and 8 artists talks.

While our two featured presentations at the 2015 LA Art Show- J.T. Burke’s ambitious Paradise Circus and our cross- cultural PING PONG exhibition featuring artists from Miami, Basel and LA are highlights of our 2015 programming, I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to join us throughout the year as we advance our mission with special exhibits and events. Please join us for exhibitions by Kelly Berg, Isabella Kelly-Ramirez and Richard Slecht which will open on January 24 and continue through February 28 at Gallery 825 on La Cienega Boulevard. For more information on LAAA’s exhibitions and programming, please visit www.laaa.org or call us at 310.652.8272.

Finally, a sincere nod of appreciation to Kim Martindale and his entire team for sharing the belief that emerging artists can and do make lasting impacts on the cultural and economic life of our shared community.

Enjoy the Show!

Los Angeles Art Association is proud to present The Paradise Circus by J.T. Burke,

a physical and conceptual mash-up of confession booth, cathedral steeple and

big top tent. The exterior of the structure will be covered with circus posters an-

nouncing religious-themed acts, presenting canonical mythology as entertainment

spectacle. It is a lighthearted lampoon of traditional orthodoxies and a comparison

of doctrinal storytelling with carnival merriment. The interior of The Circus will be

darker, featuring symbols, characters and runes of unknown origin in a forebod-

ing environment. A large, imposing face greets you at the entrance (could that be

St. Peter, Ridwan, Uriel or Charon?) and a traditional church kneeler invites you to

make obeisance and push open the slider to reveal...a small glimpse of Paradise. It is

said that the role of the artist is to reveal unseen truths. Burke is creating this work,

and all the work in this ongoing series, because he oftens wonders about what lies

beyond this mortal life. He questions the veracity of those who claim to know, and

challenge the authority of monolithic institutions that spin stories and perpetuate

myths for purposes of social control and political gain.

Museum of Latin American Art628 Alamitos Ave

Long Beach, CA 90802 T: 562.437.1689

E: [email protected]

The Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) expands knowledge and appre-ciation of modern and contemporary Latin American art through its collection, ground-breaking exhibitions, stimulating educational programs, and engaging cultural events. Founded in 1996, it is the only museum in the United States dedicated to modern and contemporary Latin American art.

PERMANENT COLLECTION

MOLAA features over 1,300 works of art in its internationally recognized collection. The MOLAA Permanent Collection is one of the most significant holdings of modern and contemporary Latin American art in the nation, comprised of works by Rufino Tamayo, Francisco Toledo, Francisco Zúñiga, Roberto Sebastián Matta, Wifredo Lam, Roberto Fabelo, Lucia Maya, Fernando Botero, Jorge Marín, Leonora Carrington and Rodolfo Morales among others. The museum campus also includes a 15,000 square foot outdoor performing arts venue that displays a collection of outdoor sculpture nestled in a drought tolerant garden.

EXHIBITIONS

The Museum’s exhibition program features work by important modern and contemporary Latin American artists, selections from our permanent collection as well as hosting travelling exhibitions. Most recently, we featured Frida Kahlo, Her Photos, an exhibition organized by Museo Frida Kahlo. MOLAA’s season opens with Esterio Segura, the mid-career survey of one of Cuba’s most provoc-ative contemporary artists. Esterio Segura is on view through February 15, 2015.

MOLAA at the LA Art Show

For the LA Art Show, MOLAA presents permanent collection works by Roberto Matta, Kcho, Cruz-Diez, Victor Vazquez, Jorge Marín, and others. See these works in person and learn about the Museum’s dynamic exhibitions, education, and member programs.

PANEL DISCUSSION: Inclusion and Engagement at the Museum of Latin American Art

This year, the Museum expanded its definition of Latin American art to include Chicano and Latino art. Prior to this action, MOLAA focused on the work of artists who lived and worked in Latin America. With the opening of Mex/LA, MOLAA’s 2011 Pacific Standard Time exhibition, the Museum began to move in a new direction to embrace the breadth of Latin American art. Join Assistant Curator Edward Hayes, Jr. for a panel discussion on Sunday, January 18th inclusion from the perspective of museum education, curatorial programming, and collecting.

“SCRATCH” – 195” x 42” triptych – INNOVA archival fibre paper16 1/2’ photo-collage of the Getty Research Institute and ESMoA’s - 2014 Graffiti Installa-tion SCRATCH

Photographer Jim McHugh has chronicled the Los Angeles art world for over three decades, publishing several books including “California Painters: New Work” with Henry Hopkins and “The Art of Light and Space” for Abbeville Press. His artist portraits were included in the Getty Museum’s “Pacific Standard Time” in conjunction with Timothy Yarger Fine Art.

This massive 16 foot panorama photo-collage is of the recent graffiti installation titled Scratch at the El Segundo Museum of Art, ESMoA. Considered one of the most forwardthinking small museums in America, “Scratch,” was curated by David Brafman, curator of rare books at the Getty Research Institute. The pho-tographic mural includes many separate images of both artists and individual graffiti walls.

The photograph includes such acknowledged artists as Phantom, Axis, Cre8, Defer, Eyeone, Fishe, Miner, Gajin Fujita, Big Sleeps, Prime, Heaven, Trigz, Patrick Martinez, ENKONE, and Dr. Eye. More importantly, many other dedicated art-ists freely contributed to this monumental graffiti installation, their extraordinary work is pictured here.

About the Exhibit “Scratch”

The Getty Research Institute owns a 16th Century manuscript called a liber am-icorum (book of friends) illustrated by artists of the time. In 2013, The Getty in-vited LA’s leading graffiti artists to contribute to a single book, thus creating the Getty Graffiti Black Book. ESMoA and the Getty Research Institute subsequently invited Getty Black Book artists to turn ESMoA into an open black book. With the “Scratch” installation, graffiti and tattoo artists transformed the space into a cathedral of urban art for the first public presentation of the LA Liber Amicorum.

Juan Carlos Muñoz Hernandez combines his signature graffiti style with the classical traditions of oil painting and sculpture. Born in Mexico, Muñoz Hernandez was exposed to the Los Angeles graffiti arts scene and thus aerosol based mural painting when his family moved to Boyle Heights. He was quickly commissioned by Homeboy Industries to paint a public mural, which led to further commissions throughout L.A. County. In 1992, after a rigorous interview process, world-renowned sculptor Robert Graham selected Juan Carlos to join the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Torso Project. Since then he has worked on internationally acclaimed projects including the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial in Washington D.C., Duke Ellington in New York, Charlie Parker in Kansas City and Our Lady of Angels Cathedral doors in Los Angeles, California. Muñoz Hernandez's work has been included in numerous museum and gallery shows over the past twenty years. He is currently represented by Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Beverly Hills.

Rolland Berry is a contemporary artist and muralist whose art bridges the gap between pop art and graffiti. Berry has built himself a brilliant identity using reckless and powerful details such as bold collages, unique color concepts and hand silkscreen methods; all of which are guided by his own rules and sense of style. Drawing inspiration from history, spirituality, modern or street culture, Berry aims to create art that expresses his unique messages. Rolland Berry is represented by Lawrence J. Cantor & Company.

Art Going Public – Happily Ever After?An exhibition by The Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles (MCLA)

curated by Isabel Rojas-Williams

Most people agree that quality public art is desirable. But after the unveiling and party, art in public space can take on a life of its own. Economics, appropriation, and changing neighborhoods are among the factors that push public art away from the intent of the artist. This exhibition will showcase the historical and cultural evolution of some of Los Angeles’ most notable pieces of art displayed in public. Embracing LA’s visual art culture, this exhibit will include, among others (in alphabetical order), Carlos Almaraz, Angelina Christina, David Botello, Pablo Cristi, El Mac, Wayne Healy, Victor Henderson, Judithe Hernández, Willie Herrón III, Alex “Defer” Kizu, Francisco Letelier, Los Four, Gilbert “Magú” Luján, Michael Massenburg, Noni Olabisi, Frank Romero, and Kent Twitchell. Live painting by Robert Vargas together with Graffiti installation by Petal and Blosm.

In conjunction with the exhibition, MCLA will also present Public Art Land Grab: The Gold Rush Economy of LA’s Mural Renaissance (Saturday January 17th, 2015 at 4 pm) a panel discussion moderated by Isabel Rojas-Williams.

We are one year into LA’s new mural ordinance, and the City’s public art commu-nity has experienced unprecedented creativity coupled with unexpected conflict. The line between sponsors and patrons is ever-blurred. In our temporary culture, is the difference even relevant? Where are the Medicis of today, or is it reasonable to expect such ideal patronage? The last year has seen public art developments that were not imaginable even 24 months ago. Some murals have been painted out as unpermitted, some have been given reprieve by City Hall, and some artists couldn’t care less if their murals are legal or not. Money is never far away, as walls have been appropriated, donated, rented, leased, bought and sold. What does history have to teach us about the economics of renaissance and culture? How can the City, art-ists, commercial enterprise and citizens co-exist in this landscape?

Tansaekhwa

(Korean Monochrome Painting) Exhibition I

Tansaekhwa refers to a style of Korean monochrome painting and is one of the

most famous and important artistic movements hailing from twentieth-century

Asia. During the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, Tansaekhwa artists manipulated

materials, mainly using hues of white, black and brown to create primarily large

abstract paintings. Extensive promotion during the 1970s and 1980s, garnered

Tansaekhwa artists international recognition and acclaim. Consisting of six-

teen paintings, the LA Art Show’s special exhibit, “Tansaekhwa I” will be the

first overview of this important genre, focusing on six artists who practiced

Tansaekhwa’s artistic manner during the 1970s and 1980s using their unique

artistic method. In this exhibition, artists such as Sang-Hwa Chung, Hyong-Keun

Yun, Seung Won Suh, Myoung Young Choi, Hwang Hur and KiLin Kim offer

a magnificent interpretation of this movement’s visionary practice. Through

abstraction, subdued palettes of various hues and texture, these artists reveal

a delicacy and refined sense of freedom in their oeuvres. The 2016 LA Art

Show will display “Tansaekhwa II” as a further investigation of the movement by

introducing additional artists consisting of artworks from notable collections

in Korea.

LA Art Show would like to express our great appreciation to Galerie Bhak and

The Columns Gallery for helping us curate “Tansaekhwa Exhibition I.”

Hoojung Lee, Director of Korean Art Affairs

ZOOM is an installation by the interdisciplinary collaborativeNO RELATION, led by artist Mads Christensen and architect Steven Christensen.

ZOOM originates from an interest in the ornamental excess one often observes in objects when viewed in microscopic detail and the perceptual qu exuberance when amplified. Although an object’s surface detail has a certain relationship to the form upon which it lies, it can also convey an additional layer of information about an object's properties, as in an unexcavated mineral whose striated surface may provide evidence of the geometric logic of its atomic structure.

Mads Christensen is an artist residing in Los Angeles. He creates light sculptures using LEDs, microprocessors, and algorithms. His work has been featured at Santa Monica Glow, Create:Fixate, Frankfurt Luminale 2014, Burning Man and A+D Museum, Los Angeles. Christensen is represented by Timothy Yarger Fine Art, Beverly Hills.

Steven Christensen is an architect residing in Los Angeles. He is a member of the faculty in the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at UCLA where he teaches graduate and undergraduate design studios. He received his Master in Architecture from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University.
