Here’s our roundup of who’s doing what:
LEFT COAST NEWS!!!
By Ben Woodward
Ben Woodward’s first West Coast solo exhibition, Beep-boop beep-Boop, March 8 to 30, is at Carmichael Gallery, in West Hollywood. The exhibit of new work by one of the founders of Space 1026 reflects on the visceral nature of fatherhood, and how consumption has evolved into such an absurdly tribal ritual in our times.
Look for Ryan Trecartin in an solo Hammer Projects exhibit at L.A.’s Hammer Museum, Sept. 2008. Ali Subotnick curated. [this is a corrected version of this information]
