Tonight, two shows: Angela Dufresne and Ron Athey
UCLA Hammer Museum
July 29 - October 29, 2006
Angela Dufresne's large canvases depict imaginary landscapes populated by strange modernist structures. Dufresne's brushstrokes, painted with a loose, frenetic energy, add to the sense of alienation and anxiety her compositions produce, yet they also translate the forward-looking idealism espoused by modernist architects like Le Corbusier or Frank Lloyd Wright. She presents utopias gone awry in color schemes that range from vivid acidic hues to more natural earthy tones.

OPENING RECEPTION:
Saturday September 16th, 5-8 p.m.
Western Project is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by Ron Athey. As one of the most important performance artists in the last twenty years, his work has influenced a generation of younger artists. Athey nose-dives into subjects and content which are visceral, challenging and difficult – the corporeal flesh, its possibilities and the knowledge it can reveal. His work can be traced from the historic lineage of Herman Nitsch, the Vienna Action Group, Leigh Bowery and Amy Semple McPherson.

Jenny D. might come with us if she can get across the border from Tijuana in time. Gree C. is already in LA, and I can't wait to see her again! She went up the other day with Angela, which although I supported, I gotta say that breaking up Team Istanbul was traumatic.
