13ThingsLA: September 11
A Lot to Think About for your art calendar
Demetri Broxton at Patricia Sweetow Gallery
This is one of those weeks with more to see than is physically possible for one person—but that won’t stop folks from trying! So to help streamline, we’ve included multiple shows around certain locations/neighborhoods, so you can get the most of that sweet unicorn parking spot you just scored. Everyone is open at 1700 S. Santa Fe in DTLA (with new shows at Patricia Sweetow, Wilding Cran, Vielmetter & Band of Vices). Also at Tierra del Sol Gallery, Hauser & Wirth WeHo, and a Hollywood cluster around Regen Projects, Kohn Gallery & Jeffrey Deitch. There’s Spruth Magers, Gagosian, Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Angels Gate Cultural Center/OPaf; a NELA twofer with GGLA & Trophy Room; a road trip to Chapman University/Fulcrum Arts; plus any excuse to visit the Huntington, and late summer evening theater at the Getty Villa. Going forward, all PST: Art+Science programs will be marked “PST” for clarity and brevity. Here we go!
Feature
Sharon Barnes, The Space of Time Danced Through, 2024. Acrylic, ink, fabric dye, collaged painted paper, burlap, parachute fabric, carbon paper, cardboard, yarn on canvas, 72 in x 84 in (Patricia Sweetow Gallery)
The 1700 S. Santa Fe art building hosts multiple receptions on Saturday, September 14, from 2pm. Sharon Barnes shows new works expanding her innovative approach to psychically, emotionally, chromatically, texturally, and narratively operatic abstraction in Improvisations of a Polyrhythmic Being; and Demetri Broxton offers sculptures and dimensional mixed media works that invite ancestral presence into a conversation about what happens next in Ancestral Echoes—both at Patricia Sweetow Gallery 4-7pm. Painter Elizabeth Malaska conjures a world of auric, symbol-rich, sisterhood-powered self actualization in Chimeras at Wilding Cran. Andrea Bowers: Recognize Yourself as Land and Water gathers ecofeminist investigations in painting, sculpture, and video, the better to understand what our power is inside our organic and political ecosystems, at Vielmetter Los Angeles, 4-6pm. Optically dazzling and materially inventive abstractionist compositions made with recycled plastics show a better way forward in Patrick Tagoe-Turkson: Whispers of Renewal at Band of Vices, 2-6pm. —SND
