Janet & Janet Shop

Curated by Janet Levy

ForYourArt @ 6020 Wilshire Blvd

Los Angeles, CA 90036

August 24 – August 26, 2012

Opening Reception: Friday, August 24, 6-9pm

In conjunction with the current exhibition presented at See Line Gallery, MoTA (Museum of Temporary Art), curator Janet Levy assembles Janet & Janet Shop at the ForYourArt space 6020 Wilshire Blvd. The Janet & Janet Shop pays homage to MoTA founder Janet Schmuckal and the Museum of Temporary Art that existed in 1974 – 1982 in Washington D.C. The Museum of Temporary Art was an alternative venue for the arts, a multi-media press, a community arts program, a small press collection and a multi-media performance space. In discovering Janet Schmuckal, curator Janet Levy had remembrances in which she and a colleague, who shared the same name, were introduced in tandem and began to invoke anticipated quizzical reactions. The play-off of the name Janet is also exemplified in relation to Janet Schmuckal. The artists’ work in the Janet & Janet Shop consider space, time and temporariness. Included are works on paper, prints, performance, sculpture and installation.

Nathan Bell, Jesse Benson, Scott Benzel, Michael Coleman, Chris Eichenseer, Corey Fogel, Katherine Gray, Matthew Greene, Edgar Heap of Birds, Wendy Heldman, Matthew Hoffman, Chad Kouri, Jow, Karen Lofgren, Christian Morin, Thomas Müller, Eamon O’Kane, Zack Stadel, Michael Worthington.

Interactive work and performances by Nathan Bell, Michael Coleman, Corey Fogel and Michael Worthington.
