Opening Reception:
NY/LA featuring Adam Berg and Georgi Tushev
NY/LA is an innovative program that diversifies SMMoA's curatorial voice in an all-new, annual exhibition series. Organized by SMMoA Deputy Director Lisa Melandri and New York-based independent curator Jeffrey Uslip, NY/LA connects emerging contemporary artists on the East and West coasts. With NY/LA, SMMoA continues to reshuffle and revitalize its programs, and promote an ongoing discourse that links contemporary art across the United States.
Lisa Melandri is curator of Adam Berg: Endangered Spaces--a new, multi-dimensional video, sculpture, and photo installation that explores the relationship between man-made environments and displaced wildlife. In this work, Berg identifies a parallel future between endangered animals and threatened architectural spaces.
Jeffrey Uslip is curator of Georgi Tushev: Strange Attractor, which presents a series of paintings and works on paper that investigate the effects of oil paint exposed to extreme magnetic fields. Tushev considers the cellular cycle of life and experiments with the material possibilities of paint. |

Meet Our Member: Don Bachardy
Artist Member since 1990
"I have supported the Santa Monica Museum of Art for twelve years because it is a museum that invests in real talent, based on variety and quality, and showcases new young artists, as well as more established ones. SMMoA has given many fresh and promising artists their due.
Shortly after Laura Owens emerged on the art scene, the Santa Monica Museum of Art exhibited her work in Cavepainting: Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, and Laura Owens (2002). It was very encouraging; it confirmed my positive instincts about this little jewel of a museum. Over time SMMoA has gotten even better, showing new artists and a varied roster of exhibitions, while keeping a focus on Southern California.
I am a member because SMMoA provides a great service to artists."
Please join Don Bachardy and become a SMMoA member today. Help sustain diversity, innovation, and discovery in contemporary art. As a member, you will receive exclusive access to exhibition previews, inventive programs, educational workshops, and great discounts on eclectic shopping.
