"Autumn Lights LA 2010 " - Pershing Square

Show Runs: September 25, 2010 - 7pm-1am

Pershing Square
Downtown Los Angeles

In partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation
and Parks, Art2 and EVFA Edgar Varela AUTUMN LIGHTS LA 2010 (now in its 6th year) is
pleased to announce that planning has begun for this year's spectacular light showcase event slated for September 25th, 2010.
This event is curated and produced by downtown Los Angeles artist, Lilli Muller, a community organizer for the downtown community and Arts District for the past 20 years.


AUTUMN LIGHTS LA 2009 was an unprecedented success attracting an audience over 8000
people that one night at its new home Pershing Square (its former location at the Caltrans Plaza across from City Hall). It is a multi media showcase featuring the best of Los Angeles' emerging and established local and international artists presenting various forms of performances, sculptures, installations, projections utilizing the medium of light.
Pershing Square, the new home of AUTUMN LIGHTS LA allows this unique spectacle to radiate into the streets, galleries, museums all the way to city hall in the next years to come with an
extension of several weeks of this annual landmark event and a simulcast from the Los Angeles
Sister City Berlin and it's "Festival of Lights" as the grand vision for 2011/12.
In the spirit of Berlin's "Festival of Lights" AUTUMN LIGHTS LA 2010 continues to be a free to
the public event, family friendly and a wonderful creative showcase featuring innovative light
works once a year. We will have local bars with drink specials partnering up with this event and a
few hand picked surprises (no guerilla vendors/sales allowed! ) in the park.
Plug-In time 7pm: Pershing Square will be literally transformed as the entertainment continues
and a range of illuminations and projections light up park sculptures and surrounding buildings.
This year's event highlights include some very large scale sculptural light installations, interactive
light and performances, life blacklight paintings, photo booth and much more.

7 Year Anniversary - Alcove Gallery - Group Show

Show Runs: July 10 - August 4, 2010

with Bethany Marchman, Davey Wong, Michael Pukac, Valery Milovic, Greg Theakston, and H.C. Warner

Please join us for Alcove Gallery's 7 Year Anniversary!

Very proud to say we have officially been through an amazing trek. Seven is one of those numbers that really speaks for itself. On many levels it touches on a spritual note that cleanses ,strengthens, and possibly gives new life. Water has many of those similiar parallels to the properties of the 7 numerology. Water is the most abundant compound on Earth's surface, constituting about 70% of the planet's surface. Sadly, we have only one planet in which we must try to protect and cherish. This event focuses on the richness of water and really anything it should encounter.


MUSICAL GUESTS @ 9 PM: THE GOLDEST

GALLERY HOURS : WED–SAT 12pm–7pm / SUN 12pm–4pm

"Revisions 2010" - Ego-Logical Art - Group Show

Saturday, April 24, 2010 - 7-10pm

Eco-LogicalART Gallery

4829 West Pico Blvd, LA, CA

Los Angeles, CA. To kick-off the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, Peter Schulberg and the nonprofit Eco-LogicalART Gallery are taking their “green” art public in a big way with ReVisions/10 and EartH.  The exhibits will debut April 24th at 7pm.  ReVisions  features an original 14 x 48 foot art piece by artist Leeann Goya. Painted on a recycled vinyl billboard, and installed on a billboard directly over Eco-LA, the piece will be revealed with a live curtain drop at 8 pm. Once unveiled, the eco-themed work will be seen 35,000 times daily, and a million times by month's end.  
 
In addition to the billboard art, a free and open to the public interior gallery show includes works by two dozen renowned local artists who have fashioned over 100 cutting edge creations from recycled and up-cycled media. The event also features "green" accessories for sale in the Eco-LA "Recovery Room", eco-art demos, music--and libations. Plus the ever-hip Kogi taco truck will be on-site from 6-9 pm serving up their “street” high cuisine.
 
The premiere will also present EartH (Eco Art Helps) an exhibit of art on recycled billboard, created by the youth of Los Angeles. Working off a prompt of “The World I See/The World I Hope Could Be” the exhibit is painted by participants from an array of high schools and inner-city arts organizations.  Mounted in a grid on the exterior of the Eco-LogicalART gallery, the 80 canvas installation will be revealed with its own curtain drop at 7:30 pm.  Later in the evening members of the LA based youth Street Poets organization will present a spoken word performance riffing off the “World I See/Hope Could Be” theme.
 
With so many elements, ReVisions/10 and EartH are a perfect fit for Eco-LA founder Schulberg, who is drawn to guerilla style hybrid performance/art happenings. Since 2007 his billboard art exhibits have been seen over 40 million times across the skylines of Los Angeles and the Bay Area.  But he's excited to present Eco-LA's spring "green" event. And though the city is known as the car capital of the world, Schulberg offers up an excellent excuse to leave the wheels at home. "We've got great food thanks to our friends at Kogi, cool public art on a billboard, sidewalk youth art with EartH and the Street Poets. All in all, it should make for a perfect Earth Day." 
  
To learn more about Eco-LogicalART please visit ournew website at: www.eco-logicalart.org.
Show opening: 7-10 pm, APRIL 24TH at the Eco-LogicalART Gallery, 4829 West Pico Blvd, LA, CA 90019 (just east of La Brea)  310.525.0676  email eco-la@sbcglobal.net

 

Pukac will be exhibiting his series of recycled skate decks!
