Last weekend Nino Mier opened three concurrent exhibitions, the main attraction being organized by Purple Magazine editor Olivier Zahm. The questionably titled To Paint is To Love Again, exploring Zahmn’s love of painting and Instagram, mainly knowledge of...
Last weekend was competitive, with highly anticipated exhibitions opening across the city. Attending them all would have been challenging at best. A personal highlight being Jack Levinson’s play The Troubadour presented by OOF Books at MOCA on the occasion of the OOF...

Last Thursdays’ opening reception for this years’ Los Angeles Art Book Fair was an interconnected web of the art publishing community. Each corner turned presented a new cache of friends and colleagues. With 100 newcomers (from an impressive total of 390 contributors)...
