Everyday is Everything: July 7-13, 2022 (LA Weekly)

POST CINEMA at Open Mind Art Space. “OMAS is participating in B-LA Connect, an international art exchange with curators and artists from Berlin and Los Angeles, with a group exhibition curated by panke.gallery (Berlin) and JAUS (LA). For decades, dreams of global utopia have been rushing over the airwaves and electronic superhighways into the clouds of the internet, flowing further into the (inter)streaming networks of today. These artists use various digital mediums to explore common themes throughout the history of cinema and TV within the context of today’s cyber world dominated by social media and virtual reality.”

Meet an Artist Monday: Benjamin Lowder (LA Weekly)

“Benjamin Lowder is known for a unique sculptural and wall-works practice metamorphosing repurposed salvaged materials like vintage signs and weathered barn-wood into complex patterns expressing celestial sacred geometry and deconstructing the visual mechanics of language. The objects are tactile, emotionally warm and rich with nostalgia, even as they actively rearrange the energy patterns of the spaces they occupy. A new show of way-finding totems opens this weekend at Open Mind Art Space in Santa Monica.”
