7-9 pm [LA]
exhibit: 'Marking Time + A Walk to Remember'
LA Contemporary Exhibitions (6522 Hollywood Boulevard; LA)
info: 323-957-1777; info@artleak.org
detail: Opening reception. Prepare yourself for possible sensory overload, as LACE opens two concurrent exhibitions. The group show Marking Time features the work of a dozen pioneering and even radical video artists; given that it's loosely organized around the rather abstract theme of time passing, much of the work turns out to be surprisingly compelling and funny. A Walk to Remember is a bit more, well, concrete: well-known artists lead walking tours of LA neighborhoods, while participants document the trips on disposable cameras. Who knew inverting public and private art space could be so much fun? Note: Tickets to actually stroll with an artist for A Walk to Remember are $20. Both exhibitions continue through May 8th.
