This week on the blog we announced Richard Prince’s new book Bibliothèque d’un amateur. Richard Prince’s Publications 1981-2014, and a performance in Los Angeles by Stefan Tcherepnin & Tobias Madison – SHADOW TRENCHES. We took a walk through Martine Syms’ exhibition The Queens English at the Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts, David Horvitz’s and Pia Camil’s exhibitions at Blum & Poe in L.A., and the Dries Van Noten exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. We also gave a little review of Richard Linklater’s new film Boyhood.

David Horvitz has a lovely solo exhibition currently on view at Blum & Poe until August 23rd. The exhibition features two installations. The first, a row of clear glass vessels placed on the floor of the gallery  in a line dividing the space in two, contain clear liquid. The second installation is a series of color photographs from Horvitz’s ongoing Public Access project. In 2011, Horvitz travelled up the coast of California from Mexico to Oregon, photographing himself at public beaches. He then placed these photographs on the Wikipedia entries for each beach, often replacing the picture that was already there. The act prompted a negative response from Wiki editors, who were at first confused by the images, and then angered. In his work, Horvitz examines human response to nature, and systems of communication.
