Ryan Trecartin at Moca PDC

Art review: 'Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever' at MOCA Pacific Design Center

Ryan Trecartin's "Any Ever" is an exhausting -- and exhilarating -- four-hour mash-up of video and installation art sprawling across two floors of the Museum of Contemporary Art's space at West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center. A glorious mess, it's the over-caffeinated grandchild of Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures" and Andy Warhol's "Chelsea Girls," produced, directed and presented for a digital age of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder by an artist who, while still in his 20s, is turning out to be a kind of Ritalin Rembrandt.
