party.

Anyone who knows me understands that I'm a huge fan of collage. The love affair began when I first discovered the great Hannah Höch at Minneapolis's Walker Art Center many years ago.

Today I am smitten with the work of Sanda Anderlon. Her series Party, or "a drunken jungle in a two storey collage" is an invitation to the craziest bash ever--while upstairs, a more private kind of shenanigans are exposed. Amazing.

Prints are available for sale in her Etsy Shop.







There is so much fabulousness to love this weekend, I couldn't get it all in yesterday's post. Here's the rest. Find out all the details and ticket info by clicking on the links.

Tonight - Sunday at REDCAT: the Poor Dog Group presents Murder Ballad (1938).

Saturday and Sunday: take a stroll down the Brewery Spring Art Walk in DTLA.

Saturday night: ThinkSpace Gallery hosts a reception for their group show Gumbo.




Saturday and Sunday night: UCLA screens River of Fundament, the new film by Matthew Barney.

Sunday: the Craft and Folk Art Museum hosts their 3rd Annual Vintage Marketplace. Also the Jackalope Art and Craft Fair is happening in Pasadena.

As always, have a fantastic weekend. Love, Lexa.

friday.

Hello! And happy Friday. I found a couple of events I would LOVE to attend tonight, but alas, I am spending the entire day being infused with all kinds of chemotherapy. However, that doesn't mean you can't check out these fabulous shows. 

REDCAT kicks off a new exhibition called Apotomē by artists Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla with an artist talk and performance. I can't possibly do this justice by trying to explain, so just click here to check it out. It amazes me where the human mind can go.



If something musical is more your speed, head on over to the Norton Simon Museum for their Summer Music Series. It's free with the price of museum admission, and the concerts are fantastic--listening to classical music surrounded by some of history's greatest works of art. Tomorrow night, cellist Maksim Velichkin plays pieces by Hans Werner Henze, Gaspar Cassadó and Los Angeles 21st composer George N. Gianopoulos.

Seriously, I have been to one of these before, and it is so so so so cool. Stroll the gardens, check out the Matisses and Van Goghs, chill with some music--and then head out to dinner.

That's all for Friday. I will see you soon.
