Started the day meeting Carmen Argote at her solo exhibition ‘Pyramids’ at Panel Los Angeles – the installation uses poor materials, ripped cardboard, coffee grounds, pine needles, to reflect upon economic mobility, labor, and the potential of sculpture as a site of production. Panel is a new space for contemporary art with a focus on process, production, and an emphasis on newly commissioned work, and whilst still quite new on the scene, appeared to be offering something quite different to what is already provided.
I decided to check out a few more PST: LA/LA exhibitions, including the comprehensive retrospective of Laura Aguilar’s photographic and video work, in ‘Show and Tell’ at Vincent Price Art Museum.
