LA - "Joint Custody Project: LA" (07.05.08 - 07.13.08)

Joint Custody Project: LA

22 artists, 11 pieces, 30 days, not a single word of communication. The much anticipated opening of the Joint Custody Project: Los Angeles is this Saturday, July 5 (6-9pm). The show is only up until July 13, so make sure not to miss out.

After a month of apathy, anxiety, anticipation, and anthropomorphistic dabblings, we're pleased to announce that Joint Custody Project: Los Angeles opens tomorrow – July 5. Join us for the opening reception at Found Gallery from 6-9pm. After party at the Hyperion Tavern.

The last four weeks have brought us together, and pushed us apart. Some of the pieces have been reinvented from the ground up. The B Collaborators took this, their final pass, as an opportunity to make some extremely bold (if much belated) moves. To the A Collaborators who spent the last two weeks whining about how little their partner had been contributing – watch out. You might not recognize your piece. At all.

Out of the 11 pieces in the show, four of them hang from the ceiling. There were seven canvases at the beginning of June - only four remain – and only two of those four escaped the spectre of the knife, the needle, or the gun. We have nudity, sex, gambling, addiction, and yes – doubling. Doubling of all kinds. The heaviest piece is over 50 pounds. The lightest piece is less than 2 ounces.

If there is any show you come to at Found this year, the Joint Custody Project is the one.
