Ezrha Jean Black: My Favorite Things of 2020

“Jesus, you know, it wasn’t supposed to happen like this.  Even if it strikes me now as having been inevitable….” “I want to know what it will be like once all this (all this:  the inexorable, the inexpressible) has become distant memory.  I’ve always hated the way...

Pick of the Week: Hosai Matsubayashi & Trevor Shimizu
Nonaka-Hill

Gallery Rounds: Brie Ruais

Gallery Rounds: Brie Ruais

Brie Ruais' stunning ceramic sculptures have a visceral quality. Though created in her Brooklyn studio, they stem from private, site-specific performances in the desert where the naked Ruais uses her entire body to shape clay into large geometric formations that meld...

Dear Reader, I was going to start this letter with a Happy New Year! I should, right? It will be 2021 when this January/February issue comes out. We will have brought in the New Year, albeit with less fanfare than usual—it doesn’t take a soothsayer to predict that...

On Math Bass “Got a Light?”

On Math Bass
“Got a Light?”

If one wanted to be very art historical about it, Math Bass’ work resembles Gustave Caillebotte’s The Floor Scrapers (1875) with its beautiful detritus and bones and dust and longing bodies and skin-as-paint-as-floor and new life emerging from every crevice. The...

Velvet Revolution: Yasmine Nasser Diaz

In visiting Yasmine Nasser Diaz’ show, “soft powers” at Ochi Projects, I had the rich pleasure of speaking with the artist about her process, intimate spaces and how soft powers are not only a cause for hope, but are—and always have been—a female superpower. “Soft...

The World Needs Dynasty Handbag
A Voice of Unreason for Uncertain Times

I sat down recently to chat with comedian, performer and artist Jibz Cameron over Zoom about—what else?—making art during a pandemic. Cameron’s stage persona and alter ego, Dynasty Handbag, has been giving vaudevillian performances that fly in the face of social...

SHOPTALK
SoCal Museum News, Pantone Color of the Year, and more.

SoCal’s Museums Museums have been shut down (again), which doesn’t effect the city of Los Angeles too much as museums weren’t reopened except for a very short week or so. Neither LACMA nor the Hammer ever reopened after mid-March shutdowns and, alas, the...

Decoder Just Give Me the Minimum

Decoder
Just Give Me the Minimum

I don’t want to paint anymore. I want to go to a big gallery or a museum. It doesn’t even need a roof anymore—I would go to a courtyard at this point. Not a nice one, necessarily; it can have one end open to a field of that grass that precedes that kind of boring line...
