Our Favorite Things 
 
LIVE MUSICAL PERFORMANCE and ART SHOW!
Their first exhibition in Los Angeles 
September 7 - 30, 2012 
Opening Reception with Performance by Negativland:  
Friday, September 7th; 8-11 PM

Preview the art exhibition here
 
Since 1980, the creative collective known as Negativland have been collaboratively creating collage works in fine art, music, CDs, video, radio, and live performance using appropriated sounds, objects, images, and text. They have been sued twice for copyright infringement, fought back, and their work is now referenced and taught in many college courses in the US and has been written about in over 150 books (including "No Logo" by Naomi Klein). Since those two lawsuits, Negativland have been aggressively and publicly involved in advocating significant reforms of our nations copyright laws, with recent visits to Capitol Hill to speak to the staff of various Senators and Congressmen.

Our Favorite Things is Negativland's first retrospective exhibit in Los Angeles, and  is a comprehensive survey of both current and older visual art works that have also been exhibited in New York, Minneapolis, Seattle, London, Houston, and Art Basel. The members of Negativland live and work in California, Washington, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, so this opening reception with a live performance is a true rarity not to be missed!

West Coast Indie Film pioneer Chick Strand
and Album Cover Artist Neon Park 
Retrospective

Chick Strand preview here 
Neon Park preview here 

Chick Strand As one of the principal founders of the San Francisco Cinematheque, and co-editor of the Canyon Cinema News -the focal point of the West Coast independent film movement, Chick Strand was a pioneer of film as art. Her films have been screened at the Museum of Modern Art and The Tate, and her complete body of work is in the collection of the Academy of Motion PIcture Arts and Sciences.

She taught for 24 years at Occidental College and collaborated with her husband, Neon Park, not only via the film medium, but also as a painter.

Chick Strand Neon Park is best known for his strongly defined album cover art, particularly his work for Little Feat, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Dr. John, and The Beach Boys.

Neon and Chick first met during the early sixties Berkeley scene, and were collaborators in art and in life for over 30 years, dividing their time between Los Angeles and a small town in Mexico, an influence that would be seen in Neon's later works, and which directly inspired several of Chick's documentaries.
