During the program developed by FLAX @ Tin Flats on view from Sep 7 – Nov 30, FLAX will present The Angel’s Share, the first exhibition of the compelling series featuring work by Rafaela Lopez, Philippe Mayaux, Alison O’Daniel, Benjamin Reiss, Jim Shaw & Alice Wang. When you distill a spirit (such as cognac, brandy, or whisky), the angel’s share is the amount of alcohol that is lost to evaporation when the liquid is being aged in porous oak barrels. This almost alchemical process infuses the exhibition. Echoing the very essence of Tin Flats as a production space, this exhibition gathers artists from various generations, focusing on the idea of process. Free and open to all, there will be a public opening celebration on Sept. 6 from 6-9 p.m., bringing together the works of artists from Los Angeles, France and beyond. www.flaxfoundation.org/initiative/the-angels-share/
