Bruce Nauman: For Beginners - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Fee. Please check lacma.org for more details.
Akin to his 1968 work Walk with Contrapposto, For Beginners was created in the studio with a camera, the artist’s body and little else. Suggestive of a struggle between words and actions, the physical and the mental, Nauman forces us to look again at the simplest of our own gestures.

Moments Measured - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Fee. Please check lacma.org for more details.
There is movement, there is stillness; photography exists in between. This selection of recent acquisitions emphasizes the indeterminate moments revealed by photography. The artists included in the exhibition embrace the notion that photography—despite early beliefs that it could stop time—is far more fluid in its interpretation of time and motion.

Richard Prince: Cowboys - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Please check gagosian.com fore more details.
Over the last thirty years, the American cowboy has given rise to some of Prince's most celebrated works. Dividing into several phases between the early 1980s and the present, his rephotographing of verité images inspired by cowboy Westerns and produced for the advertising industry reveals as much about his shifting relationship to an American icon and its construction by the mass media as his use of evolving reprographic technologies.

Bill Sosin: Proper Souls In Gallery II: Sharon Harper: From Above and Below - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Please check dnjgallery.net for more details.
With “Proper Souls,” Sosin heads out into the rainy Chicago landscape to photograph the world through car windows. As Diane Calder has written, “Bill Sosin employs depth of field like a jazz musician whose mastery of basics allows his music to soar.” (ArtScene, April 2010).
In “From Above and Below,” Harper looks to the skies with work from several different projects, capturing in his long-exposure images the imperceptible paths of stars, moon and sun. As Harper explains, because our visual perception is not perfect, “[w]hat we are left with is the act of trying to see and understand.”

Spomenik: Photographs of the Monuments of Former Yugoslavia by Jan Kempenaers - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Please check fowler.ucla.edu for more details.
Futuristic-looking, yet dilapidated spomeniks―Serbo-Croatian for monuments—dot the hills and valleys of the former Yugoslavia like abandoned spaceships, monuments to a forgotten socialist future. From 2006–09, Antwerp-based artist Jan Kempenaers travelled through the region photographing these striking monuments. However, after the breakup of the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, many of the monuments were destroyed. Today, those that remain have fallen into disrepair and lie deserted and disused, subject to the indifference of a new generation.

Diane Arbus Photographs - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Free. Please contact the gallery for additional information and exhibition details.
I really believe there are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.” -Diane Arbus
The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present a special exhibition of Diane Arbus photographs. Culled over many years, this never-before-exhibited private collection contains several important Arbus photographs including, among others, Russian midget friends in a living room on 100th Street, N.Y.C., 1963; Lady Bartender at home with a souvenir dog, New Orleans, L.A., 1964; Jack Dracula, the Marked Man, N.Y.C., 1961; Two ladies at the automat, N.Y.C., 1966; and Circus fat lady and her dog, Troubles. Diane Arbus remains one of the most influential and revered artists in the history of photography.
Arbus’ images contain a paradoxical element which uncovers the strange in the everyday while simultaneously revealing the familiar in the unknown. Diane Arbus’ images investigate the nature of identity, and explore the difference between how her subjects want to be seen and how others see them— what Arbus referred to as the “gap between intention and effect”. Arbus’ photographs acknowledge her subjects’ complexity and duality, andin turn reveal the defining characteristics of each person.
Exhibition runs through May 18, 2013.
Please contact the Fahey/Klein Gallery for more details.

Falling from Great Heights Siri Kaur, John Knuth and Heather Rasmussen - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Free.
The Cohen Gallery is pleased to announce Falling from Great Heights, a group exhibition featuring photographic works by Siri Kaur, John Knuth, and Heather Rasmussen. While each of the three Los Angeles-based artists owns a distinct style, all have a fascination with photography as a vehicle to abstract locations and space. Each artist’s work transcends the materials used to dislocate the viewer by means of manipulation, scale, and movement. All of them engage with the sublime, the beauty and fear of the spectacle of nature and the unknown. This poetic leitmotif draws their work together, however each artist manifests this in different ways.

Ernest Cole Photographer - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Please check fowler.ucla.edu for more details.
Ernest Cole (1940–90), one of South Africa’s first black photojournalists, passionately pursued his mission to tell the world what it was like to be black under apartheid. With imaginative daring, courage and compassion, he portrayed the lives of black people as they negotiated through apartheid’s racist laws and oppression. Lines of migrant mineworkers waiting to be discharged from labor, a schoolchild studying by candlelight, parks and benches for “Europeans Only,” young men arrested and handcuffed for entering cities without their passes, worshippers in their Sunday best, crowds crammed into claustrophobic commuter trains; these are just some of the scenes that Cole captured between 1958–66.

Tabitha Soren was born into a military family and grew up all over the world.

Today, Soren's work speaks to the twists of fate in life that can unhinge us. Her pictures address what havoc human beings can survive — and what they can't.

Blush...Click. Send a Pic - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: ADMISSION FREE WITH RSVP TO: info@bookblocks.us
Women have it rough. With female sexuality not even fully acknowledged in the Western world until the beginning of the 20th century, women have had a difficult journey to understand and to be in charge of themselves as sexual beings. Women's sexuality remains an under-explored frontier, despite being sporadically fleshed out in a whispered national discourse that included such monumental oeuvres as The Kinsey Report, Playboy Publications and perhaps the work of Gloria Steinem.
Jennifer Bardot and Alia Funaro, two artist inhabitants of smart phone cyber trysting, take a brave new look at this phenomenon as expressed in these highly personal, frankly intimate, nude self-portraits shot through the artist’s camera phones. Funaro’s portraits are demure and reflective. Bardot's bold images are pictorially graphic. Together, they complement and contrast two antipodes of 21st century female sexuality.
Exhibition dates: April 20 - May 25, 2013

Max MacKenzie: American Ruins In Gallery II: Jody Zellen: Transitions - In Association with MOPLA
Admission: Please check dnjgallery.net for more details.
Maxwell MacKenzie began his photographic career in an old coffee warehouse on the Thames, in Wapping, East London, shooting ads and editorial work in England and Europe. In 1981 MacKenzie moved his base to Washington DC and began specializing exclusively in the photography of architecture and interiors.
What motivates Jody Zellen as an artist is to learn how to use and manipulate a technology (be it the camera, Photoshop, the web, or the iPhone operating system) to enliven and activate both public and private spaces. Her work is about the relationship between what is seen and what is imagined.
