It’s a day of remembrance for people everywhere who were affected by the 9/11 terror attack (which is all of us on this planet)…The staff at LAArtParty sends positive thoughts and love to all who lost family and friends in that horrible attack. May love prevail always.

In Venice…

Sun-Sept11-2016-TeamGalleryTeam (gallery, inc.) is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Berlin-based artist Carina Brandes. Entitled “Remote Control,” the exhibition will run from 11 September through 23 October 2016. Team (bungalow) is located at 306 Windward Avenue in Venice, CA.

For her Los Angeles debut, Carina Brandes presents a collection of black and white photographs. These minimally lit images seem to exist outside of time, devoid of any temporal signifiers, cultural or technological. Her subjects, usually animals and young women (frequently the artist herself) are, with few exceptions, nude and unadorned, engaged in inscrutably liturgical performances.

The geographic and psychological seclusion of the depicted actions endows the pictures with a voyeuristic pleasure, inviting the viewer to a fantastical but fully realized world that is mysterious, meticulous and distinctly female.

On view: September 11 – October 23, 2016

What: Opening reception
Where: Team Gallery, 306 Windward Ave., Venice 90291
When: 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm

In Venice…

De Soto Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Brian Paumier. On view will be a series of prints and light boxes that mix photography with reworked 80’s video game graphics and custom motorcycle fabrications.

SeSun-Sept4-2016-DeSotoGallery-BrianPaumiere image: Brian Paumier, NANDI Vehicle of Shiva, 2016, transparency, arcade marquee, LED light box, custom powder-coated aluminum frame, textile braided power cord, 32 x 36 inches, edition of 3

Paumier’s work addresses the mechanics of memory and nostalgia — how recollections are reconstructed over time and become iconic through repetition. His practice is intercultural and his approach interdisciplinary. Borrowing from disparate influences, he weaves a deeply personal but universal narrative while incorporating nontraditional materials that veer toward an image-object.

On view: September 11 – October 23, 2016
