In the Miracle Mile area….

Michael Kohn Gallery presents Los Angeles-based collaborative duo Simmons & Burke. The exhibition features large-scale digital collages and sound installations.

SimFri 5.10 SimonandBurkemons & Burke draw their material from the vastness of the Internet, wrapping their arms around entire bodies of data and re-contextualizing images into the beautifully dense and saturated collages they have become known for.

The nucleus of this show is a list of common names of plants that grow in the United States and its territories, initially chosen by the artists based solely off of their attraction to the names themselves.
