mosaicism.org by Daniel Ingroff, 4 March — 1 April 2010
Reception on Thursday, March 4th from 6-7:30pm at the library
A work inspired by photographs and paraphernalia taken from the Art department’s “picture files” — a unique collection of newspapers, magazine clippings and ephemera collected by librarians prior to the advent of the Internet. Made up of three distinct parts: a website, video and display, mosaicism.org investigates both digital and analogue forms of the “picture” by framing some of the aesthetic and emotional assumptions associated with these binaries.

Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes — to intrigue both child and parent. As vision develops slowly over the first months of life, Wee See provides surfaces of bold, well-defined artwork to engage a child’s curious mind to bring the screen (and their imagination) to life.

In June 2009, Marc Kremers stumbled across the personals section of Haitianconnection.com and collected several hundred of the brazen images he found there. After the devastion that the earthquake on 12th January 2010 has caused, and the subsequent media coverage of their plight, we at As-found think it’s pertinent to show Haitians according to their own self-image and means. Thanks to Damien Poulain for the title illustration and Julie Rubio for the exhibition title.

Circles of Confusion: Hollis Frampton (Part 3)
Saturday January 30, 2010 @ 2:00pm
Pacific Design Center
8687 Melrose Avenue (at San Vicente)
Free Admission
More info on the five-part screening series at LA Film Forum.
In conjunction with Art Los Angeles Contemporary fair and Khastoo Gallery.
Hollis Frampton (1936-1984) was an American filmmaker, artist and writer who left a legacy of brilliant innovation in avant-garde cinema. His films are challenging and ground breaking explorations in the material properties of the medium, including but not limited to mathematics, the contours of perception and cognition, and the phenomenological nature of the motion picture.
In this retrospective of more than half of his complete catalog of films, audiences are offered an unique glimpse at what made this modernist “thinker” so significant to art history and relevant to contemporary practices in film, from pure celluloid to digital and online technologies.
PART THREE of this series will include Poetic Justice and (nostalgia), followed by a panel with Alex Klein, David James, Madison Brookshire and Michael Ned Holte.

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Amir Zaki. The artist has been working as a photographer for more than fifteen years, showing work from New York to Los Angles to Seattle. This is his fourth solo exhibit at James Harris Gallery. For this exhibition, Zaki shows a series of color-saturated lifeguard towers that have been digitally manipulated to render them more iconic than real.
Zaki’s new work explores structures common to his new locale: lifeguard towers and the Volkswagen Vanagon. The beach-side architectural structures seem to float in the sky, as all access to the towers has been digitally erased. Colors in both the skies and the small buildings themselves have been intensified, adding to sense of the fantastic. Several structures read like military outlooks, all streamlined angularity, while others would not seem out of place at nearby Disneyland. The image of the Vanagon presents this beach mobile as both an emblem of 1960s hippiedom, as well as a smooth-edged visual sculpture. On a biographical note, the two vans represent the vehicle Zaki owned as a younger man, and the replacement he sought out more than a decade later. The two mirrored images look at each other nose to nose, perhaps a portrait of youth staring age in the eye.
