Thanks, KCET!

"The billboards in TBC's 2021 show don't shy away from the current socio-political moment. Curated by Victoria Burns, they address issues such as immigration, the environment, race, gender and domestic violence — reportedly on the rise during the pandemic. The political nature of nearly each billboard, which can also be accessed through TBC's website and interactive map, is no accident."

The Billboard Creative exhibition is up through April 30, check it out if you're in LA!

In its seventh year, this year's Billboard Creative project highlights the work of established and emerging artists on 30 billboards across L.A. This year's curated collection features pieces that address issues such as immigration, the environment, race, gender and domestic violence.

Thanks Shana Nys Dambrot for the Venice Family Clinic shout out in LA Weekly

"The Venice Art Walk has been a staple of the spring art season for some three decades, both as an essential benefit for the Venice Family Clinic’s work serving the local community. The clinic had operated for 50 years, with a special emphasis on women and children, and sees over 28,000 patients a year. It might go without saying, but given the current health crisis and the economic devastation it is causing, these kinds of services are more crucial than ever."

In support of the benefit auction and in an effort to recreate some of the core experience of meeting artists in their studios and immersing yourself in their Venice community, Venice Art Walk has been organizing livestreaming art talks among artists and art world figures.

“Dreams of a Sleeping World,” on view through April 26, is the first immersive art installation at the USC Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena. Envelope yourself within the 800-square-foot white nylon cocoon, its walls held up by air and ceiling clips, and you might spot Oiwa’s signature black cat and white bunny. A bed in the middle of the room provides a vantage point to contemplate the swirling, through-the-looking-glass universe with no flat walls and no corners.

USC Pacific Asia Museum opens Oscar Oiwa's immersive dreamscape made of nylon, pen, paint and air — no flat walls, no corners.

Oscar Oiwa: Dreams of a Sleeping World featuring an immersive mural and surreal landscape paintings by the New York-based artist will be on view January 10 – April 26, 2020.

The solo exhibition includes an expansive site-specific mural described by the artist as a 360° dreamscape. Created over two weeks in December, the mural will be completely hand-drawn by Oiwa, his assistant, and four USC Roski School of Fine Art MFA students using approximately 120 Sharpie permanent markers. The intricate drawing will be rendered in black ink on the interior of a custom white nylon dome that spans nearly 800 square feet.
