FURRY ARTISTS WILL REMAKE THE WORLD The Next Avant-Garde is at Anthrocon

FURRY ARTISTS WILL REMAKE THE WORLD
The Next Avant-Garde is at Anthrocon

I’m not sure exactly when I accepted that the future of contemporary art belongs to the furries. It likely happened at the waterfront rave in Pittsburgh—where, flanked by gyrating, half-clad wolves and sexy tigers—I spent the late hours of July 4th lounging with a...

BRINGING FORM TO THE FUNCTION
Meet the Artist-Designers Redefining LA’s Art (and Fashion) Scenes

For decades, art and fashion have occupied parallel but distinct tracks. There have been moments of convergence—think Oskar Schlemmer’s Bauhaus ballet costumes, Salvador Dalí’s sartorial collaborations with Elsa Schiaparelli, and Keith Haring’s “Pop Shop”—but the art...

CHLOE SHERMAN RENEGADE Interviewed by Ezrha Jean Black

CHLOE SHERMAN RENEGADE
Interviewed by Ezrha Jean Black

The first thing that catches my eye upon walking into the Von Lintel Gallery for an exhibition of photographs from Chloe Sherman’s renowned 1990s series “Renegades” is a large black-and-white print (17.3 × 24 in.) of a half-dozen young women, perhaps in their early...

AND ALL AT ONCE: SUMMER at Various Locations

AND ALL AT ONCE: SUMMER
at Various Locations

If you’re reading this, it’s too late. Summer came and went. Pool parties in the Valley? Over. Midnight drives on Mulholland? Gone. We don’t care that you went to Sicily, that your credit score’s crippled because of it, or that you haven’t k-holed at Marcelino’s since...

2025 CALIFORNIA BIENNIAL: Desperate, Scared, But Social at Orange County Museum of Art

2025 CALIFORNIA BIENNIAL: Desperate, Scared, But Social
at Orange County Museum of Art

Navigating the tension between impulsive expression and mastery of one’s craft is a fundamental aspect of the artist’s journey. A similar tension underscores the construction of personal identity that defines adolescence, and hence, the Orange County Museum of Art’s...

HOT! AND READY TO SERVE at American Museum of Ceramic Art

HOT! AND READY TO SERVE
at American Museum of Ceramic Art

In her 1986 essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, Ursula K. Le Guin reimagines human history not as a tale of conquest, but as one of containment. She proposes that the first human tool was not a spear, but a vessel—a bag, a bowl, a bottle. If stories are “carrier...

THE NEW DAVID GEFFEN GALLERIES
at LACMA

Once, when I was 12 or 13, I was looking at Fernand Léger’s 1925 painting Composition in the European wing of LACMA’s since-demolished Ahmanson Building when I noticed a small termite crawling across the surface. Slightly alarmed, I notified an elderly gallery...

WILHELM SASNAL at BLUM

WILHELM SASNAL
at BLUM

The news of BLUM’s abrupt closure after 30 years in Los Angeles reframed the landmark gallery’s final exhibition, Wilhelm Sasnal’s “AAAsphalt,” into an inadvertent elegy for contemporary art in Los Angeles. Entering the massive complex on an early July afternoon, I...

KAORU UEDA at Nonaka-Hill

KAORU UEDA
at Nonaka-Hill

The night I saw Kaoru Ueda’s self-titled show at Nonaka-Hill, I found myself later at a friend’s house watching YouTube videos of marine life. The viewing experience of the vibrating patterned creatures felt nearly identical to Ueda’s obsessively precise paintings of...

JULIANA HALPERT AND CHRIS KRAUS (With Additional Art by Luis Baez)
at Bel Ami

To read a novel is to play detective. The detective novel leverages this symmetry: the reader identifies with Sherlock Holmes’s or Philip Marlowe’s driving curiosity. Our favorite sleuths want to get to the heart of the crime; we want to get to the end of the story....

IN SEARCH OF A CITY

IN SEARCH OF A CITY

Summer is museum season. I’m writing this in early August, a month during which the Angeleno art viewer’s options are fairly clear: Sweat it out on Melrose in pursuit of every lackluster group show; escape to the beach, like the dealers who phoned in those group shows...

STAYING SANE(ish) WITH DR. TRAINWRECK — (print exclusive)
Remember the Plan?

Remember I had a plan to discuss overused and oversimplified terms in a way that anyone can understand? In an accessible, user-friendly but without being patronizing manner. Well fuck that. I quote NWA: “Fuck crossing over to them; let them cross over to us.” And to...
