SATURDAY 1.30 - X-TRA's 1 IMAGE 1 MINUTE -

Art Los Angeles Contemporary presents...
X-TRA's 1 IMAGE 1 MINUTE

Angelenos Present Significant Photographs


TILLAGE is thrilled about the the second “1 Image 1 Minute” live event. This year’s version will be a fundraiser for X-TRA sponsored by the new Art Los Angeles Contemporary art fair at the Pacific Design Center.

Over 45 Artists, Curators, and Historians each present a personally significant image for 1 minute. Participants from all over the LA art community will come together for this live presentation of short stories and anecdotes tied to images.

Last year’s 1 IMAGE 1 MINUTE was an incredible success, and sold out the RedCat theater. This year we’ll be at the beautiful Silver Screen Theater, with more seating to accommodate everyone. And, with the support of Art Los Angeles Contemporary, you’ll have a chance to check out the art fair before or after the event.

The 1 IMAGE 1 MINUTE event is based on Micol Hebron’s column in X-TRA, which is a recreation of a project produced by Belgian director Agnès Varda. Varda invited various people in and outside the art world to respond to photographic images for one minute. She presented the results on French television in 1983.

Saturday @ BLUM & POE

Dave Muller iamthewalrus
February 21 - April 4, 2009

Opening reception: Saturday, February 21, 6 – 8 pm

Blum & Poe is pleased to announce their sixth solo exhibition by Los Angeles based artist Dave Muller. Being both a departure and a fine-tuning of previous concerns and obsessions, Muller’s latest exhibition, iamthewalrus, steals its title from the John Lennon song. Combining his signature acrylic washes with loose line-rendering on paper to create large scale works, Muller meditates on the development of individual and cultural identities and the sphere or “field” of music that envelops and accompanies them.

Visually playing with depictions of spheres and fields, juxtaposed with a variety of disparate images, this new body of work suggests a push and pull between transformation and immanence. To paraphrase John Peel on the band The Fall, “always different, always the same.” Where previous work focused on the physical manifestations of his music based obsessions, he now delves into their origins, making this show perhaps his most autobiographical work to date.
