The Museum of Contemporary Art presents Hedi Slimane's California Song, the first West Coast solo museum exhibition of the photographer's work, on view at MOCA Pacific Design Center. California Song spans the Hedi's "California period" and traces his explorations of the cycles of urban youth culture and artistic communities through installations of photographic essays, exhibitions and publications.
Hedi's California Song has achieved global recognition over the past decade for the discovery and presentation of emerging musicians and artists. Hedi's widely followed photographic "diary," created in 2006, established and popularized an entirely new genre—the online photo diary.
Hedi also invented a new and oblique visual language to represent youth and reinvent the rock documentary.
"Hedi Slimane has created a new and fresh visual language for youth today," said MOCA Director, Jeffrey Deitch. "His black-and-white images capture the essential expression of the emerging art, fashion and music scenes around the world."
The exhibit will be on view at the MOCA Pacific Design Center now through January 22, 2012. For more information, visit the MOCA online.
