Framing Abstraction: Mark, Symbol, Signifier
Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA
February 27 - April 24, 2011
​
This exhibition was curated as a celebration of the centennial of abstract painting. Abstract art has evolved from its original spiritual and utopian stance in the early 20th century to an art which was seen as radical-avant-garde, and on to its present vibrant position. Refuting the digital display of the current moment, abstract paintings are simply pictures, brushed by the hand of the artist, in which emotional intuition is framed by the artist’s rational mind into dynamic metaphors.
Some City Angels
Edward Cella Art & Architecture, Los Angeles, CA
September 10 - October 29, 2011
​
In the fall of 2011, with the help of major funders like the Getty Research Institute, the entire city of Los Angeles mounted a multi-site celebration under the general title of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945—1980. This unprecedented collaboration by dozens of arts institutions across Southern California, including museums, galleries, municipal facilities, major arts and Liberal Studies colleges and universities, produced coordinated exhibitions and projects unveiling the birth of and inordinate contributions by the L.A. art scene during the paradigm shifting years between the 1940s and the 1980s.
