mindthegap is the inaugural exhibition of
Prism, an architecturally designed three-storey exhibition space and bookshop (below right) located on Sunset Boulevard, LA
.
"The mission of the project space is to become a cornerstone of artistic experimentation, carving a new niche for the arts here in Southern California. The long-term exhibition program, featuring national and international artists, promises to be vibrant and thought-provoking as it works with creative minds to cultivate a challenging and diverse aesthetic experience for the public."mindthegap features the work of 2 exceptional artists;
Barry McGee (above) - husband of the late
Margaret Kilgallen, a San Francisco based artist,
"first known as 'Twist', the moniker under which he attained cult status among his peers as a graffiti writer" and
Philip Frost (below left) - a self-taught artist and sculptor,
"who began his career in the early '90s by aggressively blanketing New York City's streets and doorways with strips of brightly colored wheat-pasted posters".
Both Mcgee and Frost create strikingly bold, bright pieces - together their work will make a stunning exhibition. I just wish it was a bit nearer to the UK!
mindthegap is running until 20 February 2010.
