This Week in LA: September 24→30 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Los Angeles settles into the hang after last week’s opening wave: paper rooms, painted interiors, domestic utopias, and the cast list of an authoritarian stage. At Matthew Marks Gallery, Thomas Demand shows seventeen new photographs of paper reconstructions, bringing his Model Series practice into the Orange Grove space as built worlds held only long enough to be pictured. At Vielmetter Los Angeles, Shanna Waddell’s Chapter 3: Interiors and Exteriors turns rooms and thresholds into pai

This week the strongest shows in Los Angeles are all, in one way or another, about what a medium can carry once its subject has gone — the current in a root, a community’s history, a director’s eye, a sculptor’s night hours, a body in a stadium.

Los Angeles opens its fall season by looking backward. Almost every show worth the drive this week is built from material that already existed — negatives, press files, four decades of one artist’s output — and the two that aren’t read like a deliberate answer. At the Getty Center, Instante/revelación gathers thirteen Mexican photographers — Lola and Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Graciela Iturbide, Héctor García, Flor Garduño, Mariana Yampolsky among them — drawn from the Greenberg/Steinhauser gift into

Read excerpt
As summer winds down and Los Angeles waits for its art season to open in earnest in early September, this is a deliberately light exhibition week — and one that belongs to the museums and institutions. Fittingly, it circles a single question — what it means to make something, and who or what gets to make it. The Hammer Museum sets the terms: SPACE IS THE PLACE, borrowing Sun Ra’s title, draws the museum’s contemporary collection into a meditation on belonging, placemaking, and the room a person
