| Publisher Description: Featuring the work of 14 Los Angeles artists, the exhibition Wasteland and its accompanying catalogue are inspired by the unlikely meeting, in the city of Paris, of the LA-as-cultural-wasteland myth with T.S. Eliot's modernist poem "The Waste Land." Concerns Eliot would have recognized--the search for connection, the uncertainty of the future, the poetics of despair--play out in new and recent works by artists such as Edgar Arceneaux, Math Bass, Mark Bradford, Sam Falls, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Ry Rocklen, Amanda Ross-Ho, Shannon Ebner and Erika Vogt. The works are organized in two parallel exhibitions in two very different venues in Paris, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac and the Mona Bismarck American Center. |
