The last time I was in Southern California, I found the Culver City Arts District not too far from Santa Monica and loved it! I got on the email list of a few of my favorite galleries including Von Lintel, who had been based in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City for 14 years before moving to LA at the end of 2013. Well, they are on the move again, this time to downtown LA and their grand opening show: Does Not Reproduce opens on May 25th. In their announcement they implore us to pry our fingers from our smartphones and come see the art in person! OMG! WTF! Kudos Von Lintel!!!
"The exhibition will display works of art that suffer significantly from their translation to a 1080 x 1080 pixelated square.
This exhibition makes the case that the pixelated facsimile of art on a backlit screen, where depth, detail and materiality become all but indiscernible, is not a substitute for the experience of standing in front of the actual artwork and engaging with it. Put your smartphone in your pocket, look at the art and allow yourself to get lost in it.
Buck the trend and visit the exhibition ‘Does not reproduce’ in person."
The new location is: 1206 Maple Avenue #212, Los Angeles, CA 90015.
