TELEPHONE: 40 Emerging Stars of the LA Art Scene
May 28 – June 25
Reception: Saturday 28th May, 6-9pm
Based on the game, the premise of this show is one of highlighting the grass-roots networks and connections between emerging artists and a survey of the art they themselves are looking at and respect that has yet to hit the mainstream. This is the first in a series of artist-centric initiatives by TAM.

Panel Discussion: The Cat in Two Hats
Moderated by Jason Ramos (Raid Projects)
A panel discussion to explore the dilemma of multi-production.
Artists today, especially here in Los Angeles, are often engaged on multiple fronts as cultural producers. The term Artist/Curator has become prevalent recently as has the Artist/Critic, Artist/Writer, Artist/Collector, etc. What does this mean, how does it impact the producers and how is it viewed by our audiences, as well as those who focus entirely on one activity? Where do the conflicts of interest lie? How does one manage both activities logistically in ones busy schedule? These and other related issues are extremely relevant at this point and need a public hearing to clarify positions.
Sponsored by ARTRA Curatorial and Durden & Ray.
