Congratulations to Alan Nakagawa on the release of his new book from @writlargeprojects. A.I.R.HEAD: THE ANATOMY OF AN ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, (1ST BOOK) 2022 A.I.R.Head: the Anatomy of an Artist in Residence, 2022 Available at Writ Large Projects and Amazon Within a short amount of time, Alan Nakagawa found himself in the midst of several artist-in-residence opportunities. It started with the Getty Villa and then the Los Angeles Department of Transportation. Within a few years, Nakagawa had a half of dozen completed or in the mix. And then the emails started coming. Alan and I had a coffee yesterday on Washington @fence_coffee which is right across the street from Ray Charles longtime studio at Westmoreland & Washington. Alan grew up near Pico & Crenshaw & he’s more Los Angeles than the La Brea Tar Pits. I am already 70 pages into his book & he breaks down the community arts in Los ANGELES with the insight only a true insider could give. He is embedded in the most authentic way. I first met Alan with Alessandra Moctezuma & Mike Davis almost two decades ago. He’s the one on multiple levels. Follow him @nakagawa2015 & pick up his book. #Letterstoourcity #oralhistory #collageensembleinc (at Ray Charles Enterprises) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmR2GiXPQOz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
