The WeSC concept store at 144 South Robertson Blvd. will play host to Little Dream, an extremely temporary dual artist installation and exhibition featuring the art of Vanessa Prager and Lizzy Waronker. For one night only, you can immerse yourself in an inside-out world of art and make-believe – with the exhibition taking place in an outdoor terrarium. This largely paper mache installation is inspired by Prager’s dream life and Waronker’s childhood wanderings. Join the artists in their magical ephemeral forest that envelopes paintings by Prager and assemblage sculpture by Waronker in an otherworldly, interactive, landscape.
Prager’s new series draws inspiration from her grandmother’s old family photographs. Combined with her obsession for vivid colors, stark lighting, and surrealistic object placement, the sugar-coated reality is shown to have a dark and eerie side to it. The resulting images seem to be a collision of nature, “modern living” and a world seen through rainbow-colored glasses.
Waronker’s work is shaped by her childhood which she spent exploring the secret passageways and hidden rooms of her family’s rambling New England home. Her assemblages use vestiges of this past in combination with the new, the found, and the broken, to invent a magical world where realities are altered, hidden truths are revealed, wounds are healed, and the course of the future is re-aligned.
