State of the Art: Your Weekly Guide to LA’s Latino Art Openings

 

Panel: The Artist as Friend – Vincent Price Museum

Earlier, we told you about the work of Carlos Almaraz up at the Vincent Price Museum and if you’re the type of person that likes to hear more about the person behind the art, this Saturday’s a treat. On November 10 at 2 p.m. the museum hosts a panel discussion moderated by Dan Guerrero and including Barbara Carrasco, Richard Duardo, Frank Romero and John Valadez. The group chats about Almaraz on both a personal and artistic level as they shared a friendship with the influential artist.

 

Santiago Borja, Edgar Orlaineta and Tilman Wendland – LA><ART

What happens when you blend talented artists of different cultures with equally different mediums? LA><ART finds out with Exhibitions, which opens November 10th at 6 p.m. Santiago Borja and Edgar Orlaineta rep Mexico City while Tilman Wendland hails from Berlin; the trio gets inspiration from a 1961 book called Exhibitions written by Klaus Franck, which checks out the best of exhibit design in everything from trade to art. Don’t expect a two-dimensional show, though – think more along the lines of Hopi costumes and paper sculpture. Los Angeles’ diversity at its best.
