Upcoming Exhibition - SNAP TO GRID @ Lacda, 104 East Fourth Street, Los Angeles, CA, USA

I am delighted to announce my participation in an Upcoming Exhibition:

SNAP TO GRID @ Los Angeles Center For Digital Art, 104 East Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA

From: December 14, 2017-January 6, 2018
Opening Reception: Saturday December 16, 6-9pm
Art Walk Preview Thursday December 1

Gallery Statement:
Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation (reminiscent of postcard art shows of the 1980's) where every work submitted is exhibited.

The usual (less than democratic) selection process where only the precious few are chosen is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge. The show represents a snapshot of a current moment in art history when digital imaging has reached the hands of the many, an age where "smart culture" belongs to an all pervasive social media. From Thailand to Texas, amateur to academic, beautiful to banal and beyond the monumental quantity and variety of "Snap to Grid" becomes an aesthetic experience where each individual piece adds to an agglomerative effect that has a life of its own.
