Saturday night was a scream at Human Condition’s Almost Closing Party in the abandoned Los Angeles Metropolitan Medical Center. Once an institution for the ill, the hospital is now an amusement park for sick-minded citizens, such as ourselves. We explored five...

Artillery’s 10th anniversary party was just the medicine the doctor ordered the night after the world learned Donald Trump would be our next president. No one wanted to leave their homes, but the thought of being with like-minded people got about 200 people out to...

As the West Hollywood clubs began to bump, we marched to our first destination of Saturday evening, M+B gallery. Tonight this minimalist gallery featured the digital, Albers-inspired work of Jessica Eaton. Each piece is a headache of colors and circles interrupted by...

Last Saturday we tackled Round 2 of the fall LA art season openings, starting in Downtown LA. Taking a lesson from our previous weekend in Culver City, this time we arrived earlier than 30 minutes before galleries were closing.The Box showing Barbara T. Smith was...

Last weekend, as the new fall art season had officially commenced in Los Angeles, we found ourselves debating the most efficient way to make several openings; Culver City seemed the most doable. We had two terribly bourgey friends visiting from France in tow, ready to...

Last Sunday we attended an opening that required bathing suits, sunglasses and a heavy dose of SPF 15 almost exclusively. I suppose we should mention we were on the beach and no not the Venice boardwalk variety of hippie beach side art openings. We were in San Diego,...

Saturday night we found ourselves in Chinatown for the opening of Mind Your Mannerisms at Jai & Jai, a gallery tucked discretely along Spring Street north of Cesar Chavez.  Highly regarded in Los Angeles’ architectural community, Jai & Jai is known for staging...

It was pure crickets at last night's Night Comedy XVI. And we mean literal crickets that would not shut up throughout the entire evening creating the best possible irony for a six-person stand-up show. To be honest, this was our first time attending Night Gallery's...

On Sunday we spent the later part of our afternoon trekking to the deep valley for tea. No, not the pinkies-up, triangle-sandwiches-type of tea. Instead we attended Tea Ceremony, a performance organized for Current:LA Water Public Art Biennial by Lauren W. Deutsch and...

Group shows are often wonderful for ensuring that a shit-ton of people show up to a gallery opening. Pair a group show with a food related topic and you’re pretty much guaranteed to see half the city. At least that's what it felt like at Thursday night’s “Please Have...

Last Wednesday evening we entered a mystical alternate reality better known as a Hammer Museum courtyard performance by WIFE with Dorian Wood and Hecuba called "Enter The Cave." Created by three Los Angeles-based dancers, Jasmine Albuquerque, Kristen Leahy and Nina...

It’s hard to recall the last time we walked into a gallery not located in someone’s college apartment that smelled so strongly of weed. That is precisely when we remembered that we weren’t at just any gallery. We were at Dem Passwords. A particularly unique gallery...

Giant 39-foot rabbits ascended on Los Angeles this last weekend, taking up space in three lackluster Arts Brooksfield public spaces in downtown LA. Despite the excitement in imagining a quasi Godzilla-like rabbit roaming our city streets we regret to inform you that...

Last Tuesday night we stood in front of the Orpheum Theatre quickly eating a slice of Two Boots pizza watching Keanu Reeves talk on the phone while he smiled and ate an apple. You’d think that would have been enough excitement for the evening but the main event that...

Last weekend we threw on our LA Sunday best and attended the opening of COLA 2016 at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. If you’ve never been that’s probably because you didn’t realize there was a gallery (a good one at that) tucked away in the mini man-made forest...

A buck naked Michelan Man, radioactive chicken heads, a dinosaur dog and a blob of liquid fat attacking a gallery full of art hung on yellow, pink AND green walls. Sound like a really intense acid trip? Nope. Just a party at Daniel Rolnik Gallery. This Saturday night...

Showing up to gallery openings in Culver City promptly at 6 p.m. looks a lot like stumbling on the early bird special at your local Denny’s. It’s a quiet scene mostly made up of graying hair and Keds for comfort. This is the OG La Cienega crowd and they’re probably...
