LA Print Space enters the PDC

One last gallery to mention! LA Print Space will join Wharton + Espionsa and Hudson|Linc as the three brand new gallery additions to the PDC for Design Loves Art.



This one however, is not your typical art gallery. According to curator, Cathy Weiss, LA Print Space is a space dedicated to contemporary printmaking for the Los Angeles Printmaking Society, a non-profit print group.



“Not only will we be having exhibitions but we will have artist talks, demonstrations and be a place for gatherings for everyone interested in printmaking,” said Weiss.



The first exhibit entitled, Sea of Exchange: Ireland – Los Angeles, features a group of artists from both Ireland and Los Angeles, including artist Donal MacPolin.



“MacPolin will be coming from Ireland to build a currach for the launch of the Los Angeles Irish Film Festival,” said Weiss. “I was asked to curate an exhibition for the festival and so it all fell into place and with the timing of the festival it worked out to be our first exhibit.”



The exhibit will run from September 19 through November 1, but Weiss says the opening reception with the currach is something you don’t want to miss.



What’s up next for LA Print Space? A show on car culture is coming in January and a show with work from South Africa is in the planning stages.



“I am so thrilled to be a part of Design Loves Art and am so excited for this opportunity to have a space that will service the contemporary print world bringing work from all over,” said Weiss.

Be sure not to miss the opening night receptions on Wednesday, September 19 from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m., as Design Loves Art showcases LA Print Space and 14 other new gallery exhibits at the PDC. For more information visit their website, here.

Hudson|Linc enters the PDC

Here comes another brand new PDC gallery! Hudson|Linc will join Wharton + Espinosa for Design Loves Art with their debut exhibit, on September 19.

Co-Curated by Nick Lisica and Steven Wolkoff, Hudson|Linc’s first exhibit will feature four Los Angeles based artists working in a faux naïve style.

“My co-curator Steven, he kind of saw this moment in LA that looked like young MFA students are purposely taking a naïve look at things,” said Lisica. “They are extremely talented and professionally educated but they are approaching things very differently.”

The artists that will be showing their work in this exhibit entitled, Neo-Americana, include Gavin Bunner, Zeal Harris, Ami Tallman and Dan Van Clapp.

“I think everyone we are using has interesting work in all different styles, but they’ve never been shown together before,” said Lisica. “Seeing them together will be very interesting.”

The exhibit opens on September 19, as a part of Design Loves Art’s new gallery launches, and will run for about a month.
