| PRJCTLA is pleased to present LASCAPE a group exhibition that explores the notion of landscape in Los Angeles and its surrounding area through the artwork of nine locally based artists. LA, one of the most photographed and filmed cities, has caught the interest of many artists and filmmakers for over 100 years. It is perhaps better known through their interpretation of the city rather than the actual city itself.
A widespread metropolis, the greater Los Angeles area consist of numerous neighborhoods and surrounding cities. It does not reveal itself quickly and it can often take years before one really understands it- if ever. Each neighborhood is a unique place onto itself and only after time does one get to know the diversity of this place.
LASCAPE explores the work of nine artists whose unique interpretation of the city reveals new avenues and investigations. Each artist in this diverse show has discovered their own meaning of what LA is.
Carl Berg the curator of this exhibition has sought to find different viewpoints from the artists of what this place is about, at least to them.
LASCAPE is the first in a series of exhibitions, curated by gallery director Carl Berg, that explores Los Angeles as a place and environment. |
