Taken at the reception of her 2person show this past March.

xo!!

NOW! Show press.

Here is what the New Online Alternative Press said about the show (with some edits - there were a couple of booboos) Plus some other neato press lately...
Thanks again!!


"Malflourished at Gallery Revisited
OK, so looking at the press release we received from Gallery Revisited about the new exhibition opening this Saturday, we had to highlight some of the key words used:


"Feral Art, Gallery Pox, Meat Flowers, Corpuscles, Bowels, Religious Connotations, Hanging Flesh"

What the hell?? But holy crap, looking at the pictures of the pieces, it's a disgustingly awesome display of digital art [the photographs of Bug's Eye Views] and miniature sculpture that is supposed to be a pseudo-environ of repulsive flora and fauna. Malflourished looks like something you'd find on the cutting room floor of the free clinic. Nausea can't be helped or contained when thinking about this exhibition, beautifully done by collaborators Pete Goldlust and Julie Hughs [Hughes] (think about how you felt around hour three of Matthew Barney's Cremaster). Reacting to the widespread use of fruit in religious art, Hughs [Hughes] and Goldlust wanted to heighten the carnality fruit and draw away from its religious connotations, creating this monstrously bizarre and contagious installation of inedible fruits, mutant fruit flies and intestinal slicks. In addition to all of this fresh and blood colored madness, the use of mirrors [No actual mirrors are used - I believe they are referring to, 'figuratively speaking', about the photos that can be perceived as mirrors of the installation] and 3-D painting screws with the viewer's vantage point, making it an even more bewildering sight. Seriously, viewers should be wearing HazMat suits. Malflourished is deliciously on the brink of decay. Artists Reception 6-10 p.m. Gallery Revisited, 3204 Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake. FREE.

(I think this review is rad!!)


LA Alternative - now online only!!

And a huge thanks to Lee Joseph - our new gallery publicist!
There are some super exciting news to report on later for all of his grand efforts to get the word out!

and we got Flavorpill again!

Have a Part - Not the Whole

Installation work can be the most compelling and exciting thing to see in a gallery - the way that it encompasses the space, creates an environment and dominates your surroundings with one life-size idea...

In this age of gluttony and super size, there seems to be a need to want the installation in its entirety.

For the current installation, as was the case in 2005 when I also showed Pete Goldlust and Julie Hughes - each component can be purchased individually.

Upon noting this to a visitor, he remarked, "Yeah, but I would want the whole thing."
(operative word being 'would')
Well, that can be arranged too - each cluster or grouping has one price that equals the total of all the pieces.
"Yeah, but I don't have a good space for the whole thing."
(operative word being 'but')
That's OK - just get one element to accomodate your space....

Come enjoy the show, see it as a whole, see it in its parts, imagine yourself as an art collector.
(Which is something to be totally proud of.)

"I work for Border's as a sales clerk and I'm an art collector."
"I work in the entertainment industry as a docent for a film lot and I am an art collector."
"I work for the city of Los Angeles parks and recreation department and I am an art collector."
"I am a graphic designer and an art collector."
"I am an attorney and an art collector."
"I am a professor at a major university and an art collector."

Imagine...Imagine...

You don't need a lot - of anything. Think about it.
You only need a little bit of art at a time, all the time.
Art collector...imagine.

Stunning Exhibit - Cross My Heart...

I hope to convince you that your eyes must land on this art in the new show.

Of course, as with most installation, there is a justice unserved with photographing them - and that would be the live experience.

So please check the gallery website for the slideshow on Thursday morning!

You will love this show because it is the most unboring show ever.

Insane Installation Progress Report

Pete Goldlust and Julie Hughes, plus assistance from Erica are busy installing.



This show is so grotesquely beautiful....I hope these teasers tempt you to see it in person.
Reception October 14 6 - 10pm.
Show ends November 19.

October 14 will be MALFLOURISHED

Gallery Revisited is pleased again to announce our newest show.
Reception for the artists:
October 14 Saturday
6pm - 10pm ish
This is truly amazing work...you will not see anything else quite like it, I promise.
Love, Leora

Pete Goldlust and Julie Hughes, the collaborative team of sculptor and painter respectively, will be filling a 12’ x 12’ x 8’ niche of the gallery with a cankerous environ displaying the beauty and repulsiveness of a pseudo-living ecosystem comprised of gallery pox, digitated strawberries and meat flowers. Here a colony of feral art organisms infest and infect the clinical white surface of the formal gallery space – a bizarre garden that compels us to think of a meat locker full of hanging flesh and at once a fanciful hothouse of exotic flora becoming MALFLOURISHED.

Be Better - See Art

Neil Wax and David E. Stone continues until this Saturday - October 7.
gallery hours:
Wednesday - Saturday
12 - 6pm

The other day someone told me that they like art the best if it is art that they themselves could not do.
I respect that. On the other hand, this is someone who was not even an artist.
So therefore, couldn't you retort that since they do not make any art themselves, that they should like all forms of art.
I find that in dealing with dozens of visitors to the gallery per day, in general, people like to be creative and fancy themselves as artists in some way or to some capacity.

When showing conceptual work as in the current exhibition, I invite people to look further than what meets the eye and delve into the thoughts of the artists and what they intend with their work or where they were coming from.
Point being, if you are not impressed because you think that you could just make it yourself then you have certainly missed the irony in your statement....because the truth of the matter is,
You did not make this art.

Nor will you - not because you were not capable of making it, but because you simply did not think to do it.

Be better - see art - enjoy art.
Be original.
