This week we visited the Night Gallery exhibition TRAINS curated by Sterling Ruby and the bizarre home of The Bunny Museum. We announced Jana Euler‘s exhibition of paintings at Kunsthalle Zurich, Jonathan Binet at Gaudel de Stampa and Clement Rodzielski at Chantal Crousel, and K8 Hardy at Kunstlerhaus, Graz. We took a tour of architecture at the Bradbury Building in Downtown Los Angeles and announced the upcoming 2014 New York Art Book Fair. Make sure to also check out Miranda July‘s new app “Somebody” sponsored by Miu Miu.

 

THE BRADBURY BUILDING

photo 5The Bradbury Building resides on the corner of Broadway and W 3rd St. in Los Angeles. Built in 1893, it is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Downtown L.A. Lewis L. Bradbury was the gold-mining and real estate millionaire who commissioned the building. The outside of the building is a fairly plain red brick, but the interior is a jewel, with ornate wrought iron banisters and elevators, and a beautiful glass ceiling that fills the space with natural light. The building is famous for being featured in many Hollywood films, including Blade Runner, Chinatown, and The Artist.
