Artistic collaborations are a wonderful way to support and nurture the creative community. LAXART understands and celebrates this theory. This Los Angeles non-profit contemporary art space offers a broad range of architecture, design, and visual art. The eclectic organization has a new project with Uber.com called Ten by Ten.
The Director and Curator, Lauri Firstenberg--who has worked with artists such as Ike Ude and Isaac Julien--put her head together with artists Glen Kaino and Daniel Joseph Martinez to establish Ten by Ten, a monthly dialogue between 10 artists and 10 writers. Each artist has designed an Uber page and the writer will critique the work that will create dialogue and bring awareness to the work. Each artist and writer's Uber page is linked to the Ten by Ten space. The creative minds for the premiere edition include Daniel Chamberlin on Brian O'Dell, Anjali Gupta on Saul Alvarez, Gean Moreno on Aaron Sandnes, and Laura Richard Janku on James Melinat.
LAXART celebrates contemporary art, architecture and design with the concept of creating interaction and discussion among participants and visitors. We've noted LAXART's more than casual commitment to artists of a wide variety of cultural backgrounds; specifically, we remember from last year Kalup Linzy, Mark Bradford, and Leslie Hewitt, among others. We've also been alerted to Angelino Rodney McMillian's upcoming gambit with Olga Koumoundouros in the space this March. Title: On the Porch.
