I went to this "View from the Cheap Seats" show so I could make my own determination of if this was…read morequality art I would enjoy in the neighborhood, or just another overpriced art show pissing off my neighbors. I'm from the city, a little protest doesn't scare me, so I walked past the megaphones to check out this "View from the Cheap Seats." Well I'll be damned, I don't know what the artist Richard Hoblock considers "cheap" but it sure as hell isn't the $20,000 paintings that look like a 5 year old found exactly two paint colors and decided to splosh them on a canvas. Is this "fine art?" Top it off with an elderly white man complaining loudly to the gallery about how he's been so attacked by the people outside, and I'm thinking, dude, you're making $20,000 a painting, and the protesters are frustrated they can't afford $2,000 studio apartments. Get grateful man. Is this what art has come to? I'd expect a lot more love and soul from an artist. Come to read later, the artist called the FBI on the youth protesters and claimed there was a hate crime against him. A white man. In a brown neighborhood. The View From the Cheap Seats and my experience at Chimento was surely, tacky, cheap (despite your price tags), low-class and I'm glad I decided to make my own decision about this gallery - because it sucked. I agree you should leave the neighborhood and take your "fine art" with you. I was really looking forward to seeing the FEED artists but I guess you kicked them out.

Came here for the Ryoko Kui "Dungeon Meshi: Delicious in Dungeon" pop up. I do a panel at anime…read moreconventions called "Food Reviewing Dungeon Meshi" where I analyze and review the dungeon floors from the series along with the monsters and dishes they cook, then give real life recommendations to where you can find these dishes in SoCal, so I HAD TO GO HERE. And you know, bring my past Yelpies awards so I can do what my boyfriend calls, "grosshikatsu". We got tickets beforehand online via Eventbrite. I suppose for more busier days, you have a time slot you book and enter. By the time we went, they were sadly already out of commemorative dishes. Also unfortunately, I had no idea that they had a stamp rally with Kinokuniya (would have been nice if there were signs or it was much more publicized -- actually, even when we went to Kino after, they were already out of the stamp cards), but after the kindness of the staff and some convincing and us dying from the heat, they understood our situation. Parking is awful as many such Little Tokyo cases are, but even more so during the weekend and during some events going on in the area, so either be ready to circle around or pay up and make the walking journey here. Getting in is easy, staff scan your QR code ticket and you get a free random post card. One side of the gallery was Ryoko Kui's other works with art drafts, sketches, some translated manga panels, information and background to her works, very nice if you're not familiar with her doujinshi or works outside of Dungeon Meshi. The other side of the gallery was all Dungeon Meshi. You are not allowed to take or record photos of the TV's showing the anime, but everything else seemed to be fair game. The gallery showed various art from scenes in the series and other standalone art of the characters in the world of Dungeon Meshi, the original and final cover art for the manga volumes, a written interview with Ryoko Kui, and much more. Afterwards was the real treat of the visit, all of the photo ops from the animated series, including replicas of the dishes from the series as well as the information of the monsters that were used for the said dishes. PERFECT MATERIAL FOR MY PANEL MIND YOU. Great for photo ops, I loved the color, attention to detail, the 3D aspects of seeing the dishes in front of you, and the detailed back drop and information for the dishes too (like floor 1 hot pot having the scorpion and mushroom cut outs), seeing the walking armor, love the frog photo op and much more. It only covers season 1 of the anime, but, again, perfect for the panel that I host and makes me even more excited for season 2. After the photo op area, there are some cut outs and food models for the concept art of the exhibit itself. Crazy to see that I'm taller than Marcille and my height in comparison to the main cast. Then of course, there's the gift shop at the end. Bonus goods if you spend more than $25, if you share on SNS, and sadly, of course things were already sold out. Solid visit and worth going out of our way to visit (I mean we're obviously otaku too, so kill 2 birds 1 stone in Little Tokyo), and definitely if you are a fan of the series, a foodie, or BOTH like me! NOTE: Since the pop up is in the summer, it gets SUPER hot in this art space. I don't think there's really strong AC in here so lots of fans on the ground and you will get warm. RIP to the cosplayers I saw here.

I highly recommend stopping by one of these nights to meet the artists and dive into the whimsical community at the Hive! I first discovered this gallery in '16 during the monthly DTLA artwalk. The variety of art and illustrations make you feel like you're entering a different dimension of creativity and stands out among gallery row with the vibrant, playfully absurd work. The gallery is divided into three (or more?) main areas-- the featured artist show, the group show, and the artist in residents show in the back. There are usually 2 different dj areas where the tunes keep the vibes buzzin high. Be prepared to open your mind and let the magic of this place take you away~

When I found the place, it was kind of dim and quiet. I had to double check the hours posted by the door. I peeked through the glass door and saw someone inside so I decided to come in. That person was actually Marcel (or Mancel), one of the artists with one of the stalls in the gallery. I had the gallery all by myself on the day of my visit so I freely roamed inside. I was very much surprised of the size of the gallery and how much art pieces were in there. The gallery looks small outside because of the narrow size but it goes on and on inside. I was impressed with all the unique talents these artists have. I had to tour the place twice to capture all the artworks here. I learned that the ongoing exhibit on my visit was almost ending which explains why the place is empty. I learned that exhibits change every month and from what I learned from other reviewers, this place gets really packed during opening days to meet the artists in person. I highly recommend this place you are into museums and galleries. Entrance is free.
