Wednesday I volunteered at this great gallery in Hollywood called Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. It's right in the middle of all those wig shops & lingerie stores. It's been there 11 years, I think. They had a great opening for two artists, Dustin Shuler & Alexander Apostol.
Dustin's piece was this massive "vivarium" environment that mimiced condidtions in a rain forest. The piece was filled with live animals like tree frogs, lizards, turtles, and a few birds. The whole thing was miked. You gotta go down & see it. In the other part of the gallery was some digitally altered photographs of buildings in Caracas, Venezuela done by Apostol. There were also a few of his video art pieces playing. Good stuff. I'll be down there tonight (Friday) again. C'mon down.
