WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"I was in a weird creative funk in LA. I kept going to sessions not knowing what to write or just didn't connect with what I was writing about. I lived in LA practically all my life and at some point I started to feel a little jaded. It wasn't until I wrote with French Braids in LA who was visiting from Toronto where things started to really click. From there, I made the most spontaneous decision of my life to semi-base myself in Toronto and split time between cities.”

laye - milk n honey

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

laye is known to draw upon her life experiences when she writes her music and we truly admire her for that. In fact, laye incorporates these artistic references into everything she does. Inspired by art and photography, to painting and interior design... laye is an expressive artist from the inside out and we love the way she applies her creative energy to anything and everything she touches.

Her new video proves exactly that. For fans of dreamy pop, catchy melodies, or expressive lyrics—you'll fall in love with laye's 'milk n honey'.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"The song really resonated with me. Despite all the things going on in one’s life – the good, the bad - whether it be relationships or life in general, you try to keep a positive outlook on things 'I ain’t gonna trip, not me - I'll be keeping it sunny, finding your jokes funny - It’s all milk n honey.'"

Opening: Key Observation Point, Friday August 31

What's Happening:

Working with materials from the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, Susanna Battinwas inspired by the "Landscape Scenic Quality Scale," a metric used as a means of environmental preservation in the early days of urban development. Playing with the bureaucratic nature of of human dominion over land, these reflections on the landscape are vivid and unified in their presentation. 

By examining the archive within itself, Battin investigates the perspectives of city planners and the motives behind space and situating a city. Take a look at her intimate paintings reflecting on her time with these archival materials.

Opening: TAG Gallery Group Show, Saturday September 1

What's Happening:

A group show at the mid-city TAG Gallery opening this weekend, this collection is sure to deliver on an individual and juxtapositional basis. 

Artist Pam Douglas presents Artifacts of Grace, which explores human connection through the vessel of the female figure. This work also grapples with the humanitarian crisis and atrocities occurring on our shared border with Mexico. 

K Ryan Henisey has on view Mythologies, a mixed media collection the artist describes as a 'queer celebration of the wind' — Henisey has integrated his social media presence into this work, creating a fluid barrier between the IRL and URL.

Boris Litvinov displays End of Privacy: generally a stone carver and sculptor, Litvinov has shifted to found-object collage and sculpture. Engaging with the corrupt nature of global powers and propagandic emergence in the last 3-5 years, the Soviet born artist faces the toxicity of digital media head on.

TAG President Karen Sarrow will also be showing work; a collection of paintings called FEM. Again using the body as a site of action and conflict, she goes one step further and connects the body to the earth and the urgency of climate change.

Lauren Halsey is Still Here, There

Who Lauren Halsey
What Site-Specific Installations
When Through September 3

we still here, there is Lauren Halsey's mesmerizing, cave-like installation at MoCA. The annexed gallery space was unassuming among the more prominent Real Worlds photography retrospective. However, Halsey's cavernous exploration of the spectrum of Black experience in South Central LA was so dynamic that it was hard to move on to the other works on display.

So, naturally it was exciting to see Halsey on the roster for the Hammer Museum's Made In L.A. biennial. Where her MoCA installation turns inward, meandering in and out of the psyche of South Central's visuality, The Crenshaw District Hieroglyphic Project (Prototype Architecture) at the Hammer is upright and outward in its presentation. Reminiscent of The Met's Egyptian hall, but with indicators of Halsey's hand almost instantly apparent, this project dominated much of the mezzanine at the Hammer and received the $100,000 Mohn Award from the museum.  

By exploring Black LA within the framework of classic 'origins' of culture (a cave, an ancient temple), Halsey redefines the perceptions of Black iconography and Black stories in the context of a larger fabric of the human experience.
