Zachary Leener: New California Pieces
at IKO IKO!

3 shows.
"the los angeles weekend"



1. Zachary Leener: "New California Pieces" Saturday april 2, 7 - 10 pm Unveiling of a new collection of ceramic sculptures, planters, ephemera, etcetera by artist Zachary Leener with a special furniture pairing by WAKA WAKA at IKO IKO.

I saw this show being installed today, and it left me speechless. Kristin and Zachary were so kind to give me a quick tour of these works! Zachary's ceramic sculptures were being installed inside WAKA WAKA's new furniture pieces. Zachary's work combines elements of play, ideas of the ridiculous, and clay formations in a manner that seems super familiar, and at the same time completely new to the mind. Two artists that come to mind are Richard Tuttle & Guido Gambone, but not really. Just go see this work! The colors alone are spectacular. Perhaps I can convince Zachary to have a conversation with YHBHS about some of these works.


2. Group show at Marc Foxx. This group show is only up for one more day, so this weekend, is it. Roger Hiorns' work in the back room is worth driving to see. (His work has been at Marc Foxx before, and he has shown at the Hammer awhile ago) Hiorns' work continues to confuse me...mystify me.... In the front gallery works by Jason Meadows and a soft pink painting by Hiroshi Sugito that make me feel wonderful.


3. Steve Roden at Susanne Vielmetter in Culver City, Los Angeles. His show, "stone's throw" is up until April 23, 2011 and not to be missed. This is on my agenda this weekend. Take a trip to his studio via Notes on Looking..... and peak at some of the works.
