If you live in the Los Angeles area, you must go and see this exhibition of paintings by Andrew Cannon at the Santa Monica Museum of Art! Cannon is interested in holography and alchemical processes. His paintings are beautifully layered with various mediums, paints, and metallic foils, giving them a wonderful texture and lustrous iridescent shimmer. Materials are transferred onto the canvas through a variety of processes and mark making techniques – baking, spraying, pouring, fingerprinting, etc. To really understand the complexity and beauty of these paintings they must be viewed in person. Chemical Computer is on view until  July 12, 2014.

Biome Re-imagining Workshop: Plan For An Other Santa Monica

Saturday, May 3, 2014 | 1:30PM–3:30PM

Join members of the Llano Del Rio Collective, Fritz Haeg and Robby Herbst, to reimagine Santa Monica in an ecological and communitarian way. The workshop will begin with a conversation about the natural and human ecology of the area, as well as historic and contemporary alternatives for these architectural and natural systems. Participants will develop a “Plan For An Other Santa Monica,” which will be included in the Llano Del Rio Collective’s online archive of alternative guides to Los Angeles.

Biome Re-imagining Workshop: Plan For An Other Santa Monica is a part of SMMoA’s Park Studio: Tree House Public Program series.

Nonfictions Performance with Jeremiah Day, Simone Forti, and Fred Dewey

The Santa Monica Museum of Art presents two live performances, on May 1 and 3, by Jeremiah Day, Simone Forti, and Fred Dewey. The trio has been working together in various configurations since the 1990s, using art to represent the collision of personal, civic, and public life. Each performance consists of slideshow presentations by Day, dance solos by Forti, and forms of unscripted public address from Dewey.

Nonfictions: Jeremiah Day/Simone Forti/Fred Dewey is part of the trio’s ongoing public investigation of artistic collaboration and improvisation. The exhibition opens at SMMoA on Saturday, May 17.
