The Venice Institute of Contemporary Art (ViCA) presents an Art Talk on “William Turtle: Undiscovered Legacy” and a tour of the gallery with curator Juri Koll as well as Anna Dusi at our new annex space, ViCA/Pedro. The show continues until Saturday, December 29, 2018.
This is a comprehensive exhibition of an important – yet completely undiscovered – artist who practiced various forms of art, from geometric assemblage to metal and wood sculpture, to collage and found object derived works. “Billy” – as he’s known to his friends – is fondly remembered for practicing his art daily while supporting himself as a woodworker in a well known collective studio on Main Street in Santa Monica for many decades. He rarely participated in shows – decades later, he’s been rediscovered.
As part of our ongoing mission, we present the remaining lifelong work of William “Billy” Turtle, along with insightful exhibits from a future-forward thinking, yet historical perspective.
A comprehensive catalog of Turtle’s body of works will published following the exhibition, with essays by Curator Anna Dusi and Director of ViCA Juri Koll, among others.
ViCA/Pedro is part of the The Loft in San Pedro at 401 S Mesa St, San Pedro, CA 90731. ViCA/Pedro Hours: Saturday 1-4pm – PLEASE call first to confirm your arrival, first Thursdays of each month, 6-9pm, and by appointment.
