Slog - Comments on Postcard from LA (Annotated Edition) http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/postcard_from_la_annotated_edition_1 For anyone who loves art, it has, in the past few years alone, become easy to love L.A. I happened to be down there last weekend, thinking about Andrea Zittel and the art of the West Coast, and I found plenty to consider. L.A. owns sculpture. This was the entire point of the Thing show at the Hammer Museum at UCLA in 2005, A Touching Moment (Tooting My Own Horn) (2005) by Nathan Mabry but last weekend there were other sculptors lurking there, too. In Eden's Edge, Gary Garrels's show of 15 L.A. artists at the Hammer, I was stopped...

That third one down? That is a parrot toy. I'm sure a macaw would enjoy it.

Reading about art sans photos is pointless and ridiculous. And contrary to your opinion, mere description of contemporary art will not do.
Please learn how to scroll down more quickly if you're not interested.
Ms. Graves: keep the photos, please.

Reading about art, period, is pointless and ridiculous. But if you must engage in such mindwank, Ms. Graves can do the rest of us a courtesy, post maybe one pic and put the rest after the jump. That way mindwankers like you can get off and thoughtful sloggers can keep abreast of slog.

And speaking as someone who works with art for a living, I can tell you that reading about art is not entirely pointless and ridiculous. Art pays my motherfucking bills.
Thanks for the tip, though.
Yr friend,
mindwanker.
