Mary
Corse: A
Survey in Light
at
Los Angeles County
Museum of Art
5905
Wilshire Blvd.
Los
Angeles, CA 90036
Through
November
11th, 2019
|

Corse emerged in the
mid-1960s as one of the
few women associated with
the West Coast Light and
Space movement. She shared
with her contemporaries a
deep fascination with
perception and with the
possibility that light
itself could serve as both
subject and material of
art. This focused
exhibition will highlight
critical moments of
experimentation as Corse
engaged with tropes of
modernist painting while
charting her own course
through studies in quantum
physics and complex
investigations into a
range of “painting” materials.

TWO
FIRST NAMES
at OTI
833
East
3rd St.
Los
Angeles
CA 90013
August
4th
-
August 31st
Two
First
Names
presents
emerging
artists,
Ana
Benaroya
and
Anna
Park
together
in
their
inaugural
exhibition
in
the
Garey
Gallery
at
OTI
Los
Angeles.Born
in
New
York
City
and
raised
in
New
Jersey,
Ana
Benaroya
combines
the
visual
language
of
caricature,
illustration
and
narrative
to
create
hyper
scenarios
where
highly
muscular
and
seemingly
powerful,
deviant
women dominate.
Drawing
influence
from
comic
books,
Saturday
morning
cartoons,
imagery
of
athletes
and
body
builders,
Benaroya
depicts
these
mighty
figures
as
extensions
of
her
own
body,
constantly
pushing
the
physical
and
emotional
limits
that
rival
not
only
the
physical
strength,
but
also
the
sexual
aptitude
commonly
associated
with
masculinity
or men.

This beautiful piece
of Traditional Balinese
wood work was turned
into an amazing piece of
wall art decor. The
intricate details are
crystal clear because
the client went with
Museum Glass which is UV
protected as well as
anti-reflective. The
piece was brought in
Bali from honeymoon trip
by our client so the
memory will always be preserved.

Works on paper need to
be mounted clearly away
from the glass to allow
for air circulation and
movement. Pastels and
chalk drawings should be
held at least 5-6mm from
the glass, using either
double or triple mounts.
If the picture is to be
'close framed'
(without a window mount)
it should be held away
from the glass with a
small slip, card or
fillets (4-6mm deep)
tucked under the rebate.
There is a range of
glazing materials with
different optical
properties. Where
appropriate historic glass
should be reused. Reducing
light exposure Museum
level framing must use UV
filtering glass and it
should be strongly
considered for
conservation level. Light
exposure has a pronounced
effect on paper condition
and pigments. The harmful
effects of light can be
reduced by using ultra
violet filtering glass or
UVA Acrylics . Ideally the
glass should have the
least amount of radiation
below 400nm (invisible UV
radiation) and the maximum
amount of visible light transmission.
Plexiglass can be
useful because they are
lighter and unlikely to
break on impact.
However, these materials
do scratch more easily
and because of static,
they should never be
used to glaze pastels,
chalks or any other
friable materials.The
mounted picture/glass
sandwich can be sealed
around the edges with
gummed paper to prevent
thunder flies or
pollution from
penetrating the frame.
The back board and final
assembly The back board
should be made of a
stable, rigid material,
such as pH neutral
conservation backing board.
It should be secured
into the frame with
sufficient non-rusting
nails or fixings. The
air gap should be sealed
with a good quality
gummed paper tape only.
Pressure sensitive tapes
fail and leave a sticky
residue. The fittings
for hanging All hanging
fittings should be
strong and secure. The
tension of the cord or
wire should be checked
to ensure that there is
no strain on the frame
when it is hanging.
Riveted D-rings
which go into the back
board should be avoided:
they may cause pressure
against the art or admit
dust if not well sealed.
Screw-eyes, hanging
plates or rings should
be attached to the frame
itself and must be of
sufficient strength to
carry the weight involved.
