After a quick visit Downtown to visit Chateau Shatto, Monte Vista Projects and DTLA, all located in the same building, I headed across to Koreatown to visit Commonwealth and Council and meet with Young Chung who heads it up. Described on the website as a ‘mom and pop’ exhibition space – Commonwealth and Council seems intertwined with much that is interesting in the city, Young was super-helpful in connecting me with other artists, curators and spaces, and whilst there I met with artist Carolina Caycedo who had a solo exhibition on in the gallery (and heard that she would be exhibiting in Nottingham where I am based), and curators involve with PST: LA/LA and visiting from out of town.
From there I headed up to Glendale to visit The Pit – a space focused on emerging and mid career Los Angeles based artists, housed in a former mechanic’s auto shop – and at the time showing Erik Frydenborg’s comlinked effigies in ‘Gated Snare’.
