(EXHIBIT RUNS THROUGH AUG. 1) David Zwirner is pleased to announce California Light and Space (The 21st Century Version), a group exhibition organized by Helen Molesworth at the gallery\u2019s 606 N Western Avenue location in Los Angeles. Featuring a selection of artists who make up the city\u2019s distinctive and vibrant arts scene, the presentation considers how the terroir of Los Angeles\u2014to borrow a term from wine connoisseurship that connotes how a specific ecosystem or geography gives wine an indelible \u201csense of place\u201d\u2014affects the overarching concerns and tendencies of the work being produced there today. LA is frequently identified with the Light and Space artists of the 1960s and 1970s whose work was characterized by industrial materials, highly finished surfaces, and a preoccupation with perception. This show gathers a subsequent generation of artists working in a range of mediums, and suggests that they are also concerned with the specificity of the light and space conditions offered by LA, nestled as it is in a basin demarcated by the Santa Monica, Santa Ana, and San Gabriel Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n
As Molesworth states, like their predecessors, \u201cThe new LA artists are deeply embedded in the vernacular quality of the city. They are making work that couldn\u2019t be made anywhere else but in LA. They are less interested in Hollywood and its spectacles than they are invested in the everyday handmade quality of East and South LA, paying close attention to how we live now\u2014from what our homes look like, to LA\u2019s famed magic hour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(EXHIBIT RUNS THROUGH AUG. 1) David Zwirner is pleased to announce California Light and Space (The 21st Century…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64645,7,9,8,47],"class_list":["post-323367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-art-shows-galleries","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-los-angeles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
