GREAT ART

Opening at Taylor de Cordoba,Culver City

I’m not typically an habitué of the Los Angeles vernissage scene, but a few weekends ago I found myself on a literal art crawl In the space of two hours I popped my head into Western Projects,Delphine Foveva, Cerasoli, Billy Shire, Black Cat, Koplin Del Rio, Roberts & Tilton, Boite, Taylor de Cordoba, Tin House and Perego Belfast. It was in the last gallery that I happened upon the most unusual and beautiful show.

In a group exhibition entitled Rosso/Muscolo, paintings, videos and photographs all loosely organized around the theme of commercialized sexuality presented an almost comprehensive overview of some of the most important contemporary artists who deal with this volatile subject. Scriabin, Malaspina, Fry, Schoffman, the art collective Mais Non! and several others each contributed 4 or 5 pieces.

The exhibition will soon travel to Barcelona, so if you live in the area, I highly recommend it.
