The Dumas and Flaubert-derived title of the Air de Paris exhibition HOUSE OF GAGA—20 YEARS LATER (A SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION) refers to the year in the late 1990s when Fernando Mesta joined Air de Paris to do an internship.
Ten years later, Mesta and José Rojas founded House of Gaga in Mexico City. This Air deParis show celebrates the gallery and two decades of art by Julien Ceccaldi, Nicolas Ceccaldi, Trisha Donnelly, Bruno Pelassy, Vivian Suter, and Danny McDonald (Mended Veil).
The sardonic paintings, videos, photographs, and sculptures of artist, filmmaker, and stage director Juan José Gurrola (1935-2007) are on view at House of Gaga/Reena Spaulings Fine Art, part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA.
Included are works from his Dom Art series (Domestic Art), his “bad painting” versions of Philip Guston canvases, the poems and photographs of Gurrola’s Monoblock series, and three of his films: Robarte el arte (1972, documenting Gurrola’s supposed theft of a Documenta 5 artwork), Porn (circa 1989), and Cinturón gay latino (1984), which documents Gurrola, David Hockney and others painting murals on the walls of Mexico City gay bar El 9.
