An Art Walk in Los Angeles should be expected to be a scene where culture and artful expression…read moreknows no boundaries and embraces established techniques, modern absurdity and the limitless quanity of weird in the globe to produce what moves emotion or in other words to produce art. And my recent trip to the Downtown LA Art Walk was exactly that a collection of techniques, practices, talents, mediums, and modes of communication that came together and landed to create an amorphous experience that was shaped, like clay, to create visual and sensory craftwork. There were different galleries offering different works. I will begin this review by naming some of my favorite. There was this gallery showing photography that was enhanced, played, or showcased light and that is where I found the dinosaurs of Cabezon come to life by the angles of a camera. I clipped the picture of the drawing (art inception) and it shows a long neck dinosaur that I want to call a jirrafasuaraus but I know that is wrong, walking toward a twilight colored horizon-- where the low of the sky was orange, layered above by a lemon-yellow strip of sky, then followed a soften almost transparent orange, with the rest of the sky being a early evening blue. I could not tell that the picture was fake. I do not want to say that I thought that Jurrasic Park was real, but, the picture did make me feel that the dessert has seen dinosaurs walking toward lovely sunsets. Another favorite was a negative of a picture of what looked like a swan floating in water that was completely black, like a swan swimming on black construction paper. But the only visible parts of the swan was is feathered body, its long neck, and regal tail. I could not see its eyes, I could not see its beak, I could not see its crest up high. The swan was averting the lens of the camera and yet the beauty of the swan was evident because its pure white ruffles were silent against a black backdrop. I could continue naming the pieces I like and why, but then the artwalk would becoming an art viewing. So I will conclude that I also saw a woman wearing a ruffled vest that dragged to the floor. It was inconvenient and kind of bulky, and maybe drag dirt along the train, but this was also art. I point that out because the show attracted people with style, and style on a body, is art, as everyone knows. There was also an apartment building that opens its doors. It offered a fondue fountain, chocolate, pool table, blackjack, and a giant arcade machine where one could play spade invader or pac-man. So the engagement level of Art Walk expanded to art one could make on the spot. And if you wonder how one makes art at a pool table--- then I suggest seeing a video of a player using a stick to make a ball jump to avoid one ball and hit the other. The movement is a type of ballet jump (a piroutte) that is prompted by a stick propulsion. If that is not artistic expression, then, a person living in a glass box suspended in air above the ground isn't either. As I walked the streets of LA, I also saw a truck that had four spotlights. I have always seen events that are signaled out by spotlights but now I know that these spotlights are ambulatory, and kind of, yes, art in their own way. They rose lights to the buildings side and to the night sky. The movement was a type of dance light, and I defy anyone to prove me wrong because at its core, art can never be truly define by words because, on its own, its a visual language.

This gallery is very squarely middle-brow. I really don't like how snooty that sounds, but it's true. There is almost no non-representational art and most pieces feel like they were designed for a buyer's living space, rather than a thing unto itself. If that makes me sound insufferable, so be it. Now, honestly, I often find pieces that I enjoy. But, honestly, I'm rarely transported or challenged. I mostly feel like I'm looking at interesting decor. Which is FINE. I hope people buy the art of working artists. So, yes, definitely worth visiting, but know what you're gonna see.

They also have very interesting thrift shops and antique stores with a twist. Personally I enjoyed exploring around each corner since you never know if there will be a new mural popping up! So if you're open minded and cultural color blind then you should definitely check this place out. And that's my take on this Los Angeles gem, Peace...

Nous Tous, did you know how life changing cool you are yet?…read more I remembered stumbling upon your space in a little whimsically charming building , walking through the entrance door for the first time, and was bear hugged by your warm welcoming energy. Since then, I've been coming back through that door for more than hugs. I want your kisses and even get to 2nd base and beyond. Nous Tous, on the surface, you're an art gallery space for rent. But you put on way more art shows to help support emerging artists and elevate the well being of the community rather than shows to make good money. Your members selflessly sacrifice a lot of their time and energy to make this happen. Nous Tous, you're like a mother who goes hungry so her children can eat. But in your case, it's for strangers. How are you able to do that? You're much more than an art gallery space for rent. On Wednesday evenings, you have community gatherings where you get all participants to explore the truth about life through the discussion of various topics. At those gatherings, you grow us, teach us empathy, encourage the openness of vulnerability which then in turns allow us to give and receive love more easily. And you're so efficient, because you do all that within 1.5 hours as opposed to what I imagine would take months otherwise. Nous Tous, if you were a class in school, you would be the most important of them all and by far too. School teaches us a lot of logic, but it's illogical to me that school doesn't teach what you teach. Your clay and art workshops therapize me. Your poetry nights spoken words are so good, it gives me the chills. Nous Tous, you're my church, my school, my therapist, my home, my life changer, my a lot of things.
