installation view of current exhibition at Big Pictures Los Angeles called “Airtight Garage” curated by Laurie Nye. The show is on view until May 12, so there is still time to check it out...

From the press release:

“In 1976 The Airtight Garage, conceived by French cartoonist Jean Giraud aka Moebius, began appearing as a comic strip in the French magazine, Métal Hurlant. The garage refers to an asteroid contained in the constellation Leo, which houses a pocket universe of developing worlds, overseen by a space colonist. Collected into a graphic novel, Airtight Garage has been described as a “map of creation”, which goes beyond world-building to explore the creative act itself. The fantasy world of the Garage accommodated any idea and welcomed any representational style of self description.

Like the interstellar garage, holding an interconnected multiverse, the artists assembled for this exhibition represent a microcosm of visionary modalities. Each has developed a singular vision and created a new world born from various experiences and influences such as primitivism, psychedelic abstraction, and neo-symbolism. The artworks range from sculpture, painting, and drawing, and convey shifts between fantasy and reality. By being so thoroughly concerned with the worlds they describe these works create an interesting tension at the fringe of the contemporary art sphere, while being wholly modern in their timeless abandon.”

🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾 #ArtistsOnArtists is a new program series at the @studiomuseum that invites contemporary artists to respond to specific works on view in the galleries with a focus on form and process. This special gallery talk is presented on the occasion of #AlmaThomas, an exhibition that examines the evolution of an artist who created a highly personal style that expanded upon traditional Abstract Expressionist and Washington Color School practices through experimentations with color, line and pattern. Join us as #MikeCloud, #LeslieHewitt and #EricMack discuss Thomas as a formalist, exploring works from every period in her dynamic career, including rarely exhibited sketches, watercolors and early abstractions, as well as her signature canvases. This program is free with Museum admission and will feature three, twenty-minute artist talks in the galleries, followed by a Q&A and public dialogue in the theatre. See you at 7pm! (at The Studio Museum in Harlem)
