Giant Robot Benefit Show for Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, Saturday, 3/19
Saturday, 3/19, 6:30-10pm
GR2, 2062 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, 90025
Baseman joins several artists for a group art show at Giant Robot that will benefit the US Fund for UNICEF in their humanitarian efforts to raise funds to help children in Japan impacted by the recent earthquake and tsunami. This is an unusual decision, as Japan is a donor to UNICEF, not a recipient of its assistance. However, due to the unprecedented nature of the epic disaster and its impact on children, resources are going to be critical in helping provide for the very unique needs of children.
Please support the cause.

view, March 11- May 31, 2011Mondrian Los Angeles presents 'The Mythology
of Interiors', a curatorial project produced and curated by Janet Levy,
Independent Curator and Gallery Owner/Director of See Line Gallery in
Los Angeles.The Mythology of Interiors" is an original live video
performance of short acts, written and directed by New York and Berlin
based Artist, Nicole Cohen. The opening performance will take place on
March 11, 2011, from 7-10pm. After the performance launch, a video
installation will be exhibited at Mondrian Los Angeles from March 11-
May 31, 2011. The video installation will be produced and fabricated
from the site-specific live performance that was made at the boutique
hotel in Los Angeles. The audience arrives, receives a program, will sit
on pillows and watch the performances in the hotel setting. "The
Mythology of Interiors" is a performance about interior design spaces,
using the bodies of art world actors/ performers as screens. Video will
be projected onto their white clothing and will follow their movements.
All thirteen of the special guest performers represent the international
art world. The performers are artists, curators, actors and museum
professionals acting on a small outdoor white stage with white theater
curtains at SKYBAR at Mondrian.The short acts were written to describe
historical interior spaces as they also are inspired and relate to
mythology. There will be a detailed program, which will be online
shortly for more specific information about the script. The short acts
include The Pomegranate Seeds, The Golden Fleece, The Seduction of Lo,
Atlas, Mount Olympus, and The Underworld. These scenes all describe
interior design in relation to mythology. The myths will be acted out
and an emphasis will be placed on the space and the interior design
where they are and how they relate to the environment. In all acts,
there will be humor and a twist of a myth about how historical spaces
can relate to contemporary design and space.This project is a
site-specific performance made for Mondrian Los Angeles. Based on SKYBAR
and the Mondrian being well known for their exquisite interiors, this
project was formed and created to reference both the sky (mythology) and
the interiors. The short plays show an energetic and lighthearted way
of physically expressing design, space and mythological references, made
with a contemporary twist. The outdoor entertainment will create an
evening of intelligent writing and connections with how the body and new
digital media can be used to describe interior design. For additional
information, please contact, Curator Janet Levy,

Birthing Valley of the Blood Poppies
A group exhibition featuring Christopher Miles, Adam D. Miller, Allison Schulnik and Nora Shields.
March 12 - April 8, 2011
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 12, 2011, 7-10pm
..."You can stare into those places where the evening has pooled beneath the distant trees, and glimpse an ambiguous shifting of the darkness: something large, large and slow, its movements solemn and inevitable, heavy with clotted, sodden weed that forms its flesh. Its skeleton of tortured root creaks with each funereal pace, protesting at the damp and sullen weight. Within their sockets its eyes float like blood-poppies in puddles of ink."
- Saga of the Swamp Thing, 1984
Actual Size Los Angeles is pleased to announce Birthing Valley of the Blood Poppies, a group exhibition featuring new work by Christopher Miles, Adam D. Miller, Allison Schulnik and Nora Shields, curated by Adam D. Miller. The exhibition explores ideas of nature and identity alluded to in Alan Moore's 1984 comic book series, Saga of the Swamp Thing. The artists participating in the exhibition engage with these concepts through a range of media.
Allan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing weaves a complex narrative, drawing from Gothic literature, mysticism, theology, mythology, and psychoanalysis. Moore creates a character that searches to understand his role in life, which is predicated upon the individual's relationship to society and environment. The Swamp Thing is defined by what separates him from his own kind. The exhibition, Birthing Valley of the Blood Poppies, brings together four artists with practices that investigate the individual's identity by a process of negation; the self as delineated and defined by it's relationship to a larger community.
At the opening reception, a publication elaborating on themes within Birthing Valley of the Blood Poppies will be available in a limited edition of 300 copies. The covers are hand silk-screened. Contributing writers are Trinie Dalton, Adam D. Miller, Evan Calder Williams, and Gavin Williamson.
Christopher Miles completed his MFA at the School of Fine Arts, University of Southern California, and a BA at the College of Creative Studies. He is an artist, writer and curator. He has taught at multiple art schools and departments in Southern California. Miles serves as the Chair of the Department of Art at California State University, Long Beach.
Adam D. Miller received an MFA from Art Center College of Design in 2008 and a BA from California State University of Sacramento. Adam Miller has recently curated and exhibited work in The Night Goat Demands Reparations at the Pacific Design Center, 2010, In the Eyes of Lions at 533 Gallery, 2010, Banquet of the Black Jackal at the Luckman Gallery, 2011. Miller designs and publishes catalogs for the exhibitions he curates.
Allison Schulnik earned her BFA in Experimental Animation from the California Institute of the Arts. She has had solo exhibitions in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Rome and London, and has exhibited in both visual arts shows and film screenings around the world. Her work can be seen in the public collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, KS, Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA, The Chaney Family Collection, TX, Museé de Beaux Arts (Montreal) and the Laguna Art Museum, CA. The artist lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
Nora Shields received her MFA from the Art Center College Of Design, Pasadena, Ca, 2010, a BA (HONS) in Art History, from University Of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand, and a BA in Art History and English Literature, from University Of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. Shields is an artist and designer with a background in fashion and set design. She has shown work in a number of group exhibitions in Los Angeles, CA.

Scott Campbell
Noblesse Oblige
March 19 - April 22, 2011
Opening Reception March 19, 2011 6-9pm
OHWOW Los Angeles
937 N. La Cienega
Los Angeles, CA 90069
LOS ANGELES - OHWOW inaugurates its Los Angeles gallery with a solo exhibition of recent work by New York based artist Scott Campbell. In Campbell's West Coast debut, Noblesse Oblige, he uses copper, currency, graphite, ink, and neon, to transform tattoo subculture iconography into delicate and tempered work.
Campbell expands his use of cut currency, sourcing uncut sheets of dollars directly from the United States Mint, to create large, intricate work with a sunken relief effect. One piece uses $5,000 worth of currency sheets to create an over two-foot cube, into which a three dimensional skull is carved-out. These works employ the familiar blue-collar vernacular of tattoo flash-boards - a skull smoking a cigarette, a skeleton's hand in a provocative gesture, a single eye emitting a penetrating ray - and highlight the irony that exists within that imagery.
Noblesse Oblige also includes a suite of prints. Using a tattoo gun, Campbell has engraved a collection of copper plates to make a group of etchings. By using the same plates to compose the separate prints, the artist plays with visual semantics - how meaning changes through arrangement. A series of drawings, executed onto the interior of ostrich eggshells, also flirt with interpretation. Morbid images, rendered in graphite onto these fragile surfaces that represent birth and transformation, point out the delicacy of opposition.
The title Noblesse Oblige implies that whoever claims to be noble must conduct their life accordingly, and in a manner that conforms to one's position. In Campbell's case, his "nobility" is his tattoo-artist origin, and it is to that position and reputation his compliance is fashioned. In exhibiting a chronicle of working class imagery, customarily inked onto skin, Campbell seeks to construct a new context for the genre - an alternative narrative for consideration.

The White family. Thought they were just a bunch of White supremacists which they probably are, but they are also a kooky family. They kill people, smoke crack, talk dirty, shoot, jump around, talk trash, skin squirrels and live in their own little West Virginia world of white trash style. "I just went on a rampage". There is a lot of "bleeping". by MTV, Dickhouse and Jackass.Disturbing and crazy, but like a train wreck, you can't look away.
What do museums of contemporary art stand for today? The last two decades have seen an unimaginable diversification of the museum as a place for exhibiting art and telling histories, producing innovative education models, promoting international collaborations, forming alternative archives, and facilitating new productions.
This conference aims to tackle key questions around the museum as an institutional entity and contemporary art as an art historical category. Speakers will provide an overview of developments across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Particular attention will be paid to the construction of historical narratives (or their abandonment) through collection displays, the role of research in relation to contemporary art, the alternative models that are already having an impact, and their relationship to more traditional museum infrastructures.
Presented by the Ph.D. Program in Art History at the CUNY Graduate Center, Independent Curators International, and the New Museum.

between 5th and 6th Avenue / 11th floor
New York, NY 10001
USA
You must RSVP to rsvp@carmichaelgallery.com by Sunday, February 27, 2011.
Mark Jenkins' installation at VOLTA NY will transform Booth A1 into an unconventionally furnished family room. "I've been doing a lot of experimentation with resin and fiberglass," says the artist of this new series, which includes five and a half life-size sculptures and a range of smaller pieces, "finding more original ways to make hand casts and improving structural solidity through new bracing techniques." For the first time, Jenkins will present his works within a site-specific environment purposefully created to provide greater contextual authority and definition to his aesthetic and thematic considerations. "An empty space can feel sterile," he observes, "as if a giant eraser has removed all context. The works become more like pinned butterflies. I have taken a different approach with (the presentation of) Family Room. This time it's about creating a place for the sculptures to live in, so, in addition to clothes, I've been thrift store shopping for plants, drapes, rugs and chairs." Both individual works and the installation as a whole will propose non-traditional commentaries on the institutions of family and home.
Mark Jenkins (b. 1973 Washington, DC, USA)
Mark Jenkins is an internationally acclaimed American artist and one of the most unique mixed media sculptors working today. His enigmatic brand of hyper realistic conceptualism is playful, innovative and thought-provoking, making him a very important figure in the history of contemporary sculpture and installation art. By placing his works in institutional, urban and environmental settings, he brings cities, landscapes and interiors to life in a new way, transforming the ordinary into the unexpected.
Jenkins' process involves dry-casting everything from fire hydrants and toy ducks to baby dolls and people, often himself or his assistants, with box sealing tape, the latter often dressed to appear scarily life-like. When placed outside or slipped indoors, announced or otherwise, these sculptures have the ability to both camouflage into their surroundings and elicit spectacular amounts of attention from viewers.
Jenkins has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions in galleries, museums, festivals, art fairs and other cultural institutions throughout the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Belgrade, Vienna, Washington D.C., London, Barcelona, Malmo, Moscow, Tokyo and Seoul. Whether indoors or out, his work engages its viewers and provokes a complex examination of self and surroundings.

Mark Jenkins' installation at VOLTA NY will transform Booth A1 into an unconventionally furnished family room.
