FEATURED SHOW: TIMEKEEPER +9 |
Anthony Friedkin TIMEKEEPER +9December 1, 2011 - February 23, 2012 This exhibition revisits many images from 2003's monograph TIMEKEEPER, a retrospective of photographs made over a period of more than thirty-five years and selected by the artist to represent his own view of his life's work. TIMEKEEPER+9 includes key works produced in the years since its publication. Gallery 478 |
Anthony Friedkin's work has been widely exhibited, collected, and critically acclaimed – perhaps most perceptively by Julian Cox of the J. Paul Getty Museum's Department of Photography describing his practice in the essay opening TIMEKEEPER. "He captures and creates beauty for its own sake, but he also chases life’s more elusive mysteries. The best of his pictures are outré, edgy fragments of life, emitting sparks of electricity that increase in wattage the more closely we examine what’s there." And what’s there is plenty - from surreal Hollywood film sets to the brothels of Manhattan, from the inmates of California’s Folsom Prison to the tempestuous Pacific Ocean – all captured with spare, elegant precision in black-and-white gelatin silver prints.
Anthony Friedkin’s photographs are in the permanent collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. Curated by Arnée and Ray Carofano, TIMEKEEPER+9 runs through February 23, 2012.
This exhibition is funded in part by generous support from the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles, CRA/LA. |
FEATURED SHOW: PICK OF THE VINE |
Pick of the Vine: Season 10 An Evening of Short Plays January 13 - February 18, 2012 Littlefish Theatre |
Pick of the Vine: Season 10 launches Little Fish Theatre's 2012 season with an eclectic and entertaining group of 9 one-act plays. Chosen from nearly 500 submissions from 40 states and 9 countries, the entire cluster of 5- to 15-minute plays are performed each Friday and Saturday night with additional performances on Sunday, February 5 and Thursday, February 16. Performances run from January 13 - February 18, 2012.
Over the years, the plays have featured men on crosses, a boy with wings, and even a group of bugs in a jar. This year's collection offers offers humor, passion, poignancy, and wish-fulfillment in settings as diverse as a spa, a church, the parking lot of Yankee stadium, and the edge of a bathtub.
According to the site "Theatre in LA," Pick of the Vine has a reputation among playwrights as the short play festival to be in, and among theatre-goers as a show not to be missed. |
