Dreamhouse vs. Punk House (plus Cat House)
The organizing principles were loose associations, lifelong acquaintances, new friends, artwork we’d love to own, the experimental and collaborative way that things happen in LA amongst artists – a think tank – an alternative to the daily grind of white walls and commercialism – artist run, pro artist, art forward. Let’s look and see!
Some inspirations include: Predator vs. Alien, Louise Bourgeois house drawings, James Castle structures, Barbie, America, the sixties, “Flowers in the Attic,” by V.C. Andrews, the 70s and the 80s, the present, art history, Hieronymus Bosch “Garden of Earthly Delights”, good vs. evil, which is which? Alice Konitz’ LAMOA, “Little Shop of Horrors.”… etc., doodles on napkins, and the wallpaper from the Magritte exhibition at LACMA.
Serious Topics is an artist run project space located on La Brea Ave in Inglewood, California. It was founded by curators and painters Kristin Calabrese and Joshua Aster.
