Swork Art Show, Eagle Rock

My husband and I both showed some art (photography for me, painting for him) at our local coffee shop (Swork Coffee, on Eagle Rock and Colorado Blvd) a few weeks ago. It was a great show and mostly just nice to get together with friends and locals. :)

Artists: Dominic Massaro, Sam Gallagher, and Kelly Stewart:

LACMA, Metropolis II

My old coworker and friend, Dallas Holloway, was visiting from Kansas in January! Sam and I took him to LACMA to see the Pacific Standard Time exhibit. We accidentally found ourselves in the wrong building, but to our pleasant surprise, there was an amazing exhibit to view: Metropolis II! The little autos run Friday through Sunday at various times. Here are some of the photos I got:

 

And there they go!

I love the reflection of the red car in the black building on the left:

Vivian Maier, street photographer

Vivian Maier was a nanny who hadn't developed most of her photograpy. The undeveloped rolls of film were found at a swap meet a couple years ago, around the same time that she passed away. She's one of the best street photographers I've seen! The exhibit was in LA for a short 3 weeks. I was stoked to get to see it. Here is a link to her website: VivianMaier.com

 

And here is a link to all of her photos that I took pictures of at the exhibit: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150793568222846.504760.527707845&type=1&l=ac7c9a7553

Thank you, Banksy!

This is a collaborative piece by Banksy and about 30 other people.

Courtesy of Banksy, a world renown street artist, the MOCA exhibit "Art in the Streets" is free on Mondays. It's a bit of a line, but definitely worth the wait!

I went last Monday and it was seriously an incredible exhibit. It's only open til August 8th (next Monday), so check it out while you can. It is at the MOCA: Geffen Contemporary (near Central and 1st). Cut your class, ditch work, and head downtown because my pictures won't do the show justice. You won't be disappointed.
