East of Eden
September 19-21, 2008
at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG)
4800 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles 90027
Runs 09-19-08 through 09-21-08
East of Eden will focus on contributions of Los Angeles galleries, the cultures from which they draw inspiration and the eastside of L.A. as an important source for contemporary art.
This will be a unique opportunity for patrons, collectors and the public to view and purchase exemplary new works by emerging and established artists who are indicative of the significant contemporary art being fostered in this region. While there is no over arching critical doctrine that unites them philosophically, all the participating galleries are representative of new generation of determining gallery culture and share in an inherent formative energy that has resulted in a significant strain of art in Los Angeles.
The event is free to the public and the Saturday night gala will be a multi gallery event with a portion of the art sales being donated to The MOCA Contemporaries, a volunteer fundraising support council of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). The three-day exhibition will also include guest curated project spaces, lectures and interactive workshops for children and adults.
