Liz Larner at Regen Projects
This is the final weekend (closes 2/15) for Liz Larner’s show at Regen Projects.
From the press release:
Regen Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of new sculptures by Los Angeles-based artist Liz Larner.The exhibition brings together her recent navigations of geological poiesis, fissures, folds, curves, and reconfigurations, and includes wall-mounted ceramic slabs, a large stainless steel X sculpture, two paper-based planchette pieces, early photographs, and a new “culture” sculpture. Larner has shown at Regen Projects since 1989, and this presentation marks her seventh solo exhibition at the gallery.
Her earlier photos, taken near the pool at the Tropicana Motel in Los Angeles are located in the side gallery and are particularly worth noting. In one a jar containing guitar strings and water sits near people sunbathing. In another, a flask with a mix of liquors hovers near the pool. It’s an interesting juxtaposition, both the objects in the photos, and this series in comparison to her newer work.
