The Divine Nothing is an exhibition of new photographs, paintings, and sound collages by Los Angeles-based artist Jordan Sullivan. The first room of the exhibition is composed of photographic works from two recent series - After The Funeral and Death Valley. These ethereal images of mountains, light reflections after a flash flood, and double and triple exposures of wildflowers shot through painted transparencies in the hours after a funeral ceremony for Sullivan's grandmother, at times feel more like portraits than landscapes, reflections of an inner life, meditations on color, time, love, and loss. Jordan Sullivan "The Divine Nothing" will be on view until January 21, 2017 @ MAMA Gallery in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Ren Hang "What We Do Is Secret" @ MAMA Gallery In Los Angeles
Perhaps inadvertently, Ren Hangโs subject matter and seemingly simple technique have transcendent ramifications. His subjects project an irreverence that directly disrupts the restrictive realm of heteronormativity and presents alternate sexual and aesthetic realities. The title of Hangโs exhibition, What We Do Is Secret, references the music of punk band the Germs, which aligns with the provocative spirit of the artistโs images. Antagonism abounds in Hangโs work with a counterculture-fueled rebellion lying at its core. Ren Hang "What We Do Is Secret" will be on view at MAMA Gallery until July 23, 2016.

Pulverizing Rabbits: Read Our Interview With Artist Ariana Papademetropoulos Before Her Solo Show Opening This Weekend In Los Angeles →
After her solo show opening this weekend at MAMA gallery in Los Angeles, artist Ariana Papademetropoulos might make a film about killer mushrooms that murder young punk kids. This should give you an idea of her creativity โ it's a boundless creativity that bursts with schizophrenic, hallucinatory imaginativeness. Her paintings literally split at the imaginary seams, tearing into new images โ half hidden sadomasochistic scenes are obscured by foggy veils, and midcentury living rooms peel into wood paneled dens where shadows portend dark and dangerous things.
