Ooh the pleasure of Fall and its art season in full bloom. After The Bergamot last week, off to the Culver City Arts District yesterday. Selection above: Song Kun @ Walter Maciel; installation @ LAXART; Van Arno @ Corey Helford; Christophe Leroux @ George Billis; Dave McKenzie @ Susanne Vielmetter; Debbie Han @ LA Contemporary; Claire Oswalt @ Taylor de Cordoba.Last but not least: Lilly, Koplin del Rio's gallery mutt, making sure (supposedly) that no photographs are taken of the controversial Sandow Birk exhibit American Qur'an, a series of illuminated book style gouaches combining English translations of Islamic scripture with contemporary urban scenes: an intriguing attempt at bridging ancient text with contemporary life, East with West, hence the "sacrilegious" controversy and gallery caution.
Also noted: Helen and Newton Harrison's Force Majeure @ Cardwell Jimmerson, a sobering study of environmental destruction and remedying strategies. More pix here. Previous Culver City posts here.

Forgive me, but I just noticed (after 9 days) your link to my blog! Wow---- Your blog is so tasteful and tres elegante! Like a moth to a flame, I linked to your fabulous blog from mine. "LA Frog" is dripping with LA sensuality. Love it!
