Spanning forty artworks, Omul Negru is an anthropological occurrence, one comprised of both cultural enactment and ritual embodiment, invoked to explore the varied notions of the Boogeyman. It is a celebration of civilizationโs most important character, a figure that has transcended in the 21st Century into a monster of ever-expanding applications. This spectrum of visual cultureโs darkest corner is traced through artists, martyrs, serial killers, madmen, and monsters; to explore the many faces as well as the facelessness of the Boogeyman. It traverses the origins, stereotypologies and embodiments of the Boogeyman through contemporary, historical, and archetypal lenses - staging an ominous atmosphere of summoning and possession. Omul Negru will be on view until August 20, 2016 at Nicodim Gallery in Los Angeles. photographs by Sara Clarken

Enigmatic Art Collective Grupo Anan Opens "Trader Joe's Lounge" @ Sade Gallery In Los Angeles
Mysterious art collective, or duo, Grupo Anan, whose Instagram bio says it is based either in London, or Bolivia or Los Angeles โ who really knows โ presents Trader Joe's Lounge at Sade Gallery In Los Angeles. The exhibition explores the Polynesian myth of Tiki, or the first man, who saw his reflection in a puddle of water. Thinking that the reflection was another person, he throws dirt on to what is really his reflection and the first woman is born. The show explores the commercialization and reapprropraion of these cultures and myths in a post-war America, especially with the "TIki fad" of the 1950s. You can stop by Trader Joe's Lounge until November 1st and explore the exhibition - Mai Tai's will be served โ at Sade Gallery, 204 S Ave 19, Los Angeles, CA. photographs by Sara Clarken

"HA HA! BUSINESS!" Group Show Tries to Make Sense of the Hyper Connected Digitial World With Humor @ Luis De Jesus Los Angeles
"The art world is now a global business, of course, as is just about everything else. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Skype have become our new living room, our church, our megaphoneโand, some would argue, our toilet, too. And, it seems everyone wants to sit on the throne and be heard. Life is now "all news, all the time" and humor is the unifying force that allows us to look in the mirror, if for no other reason than to get a quick reality check and, hopefully, a little truth. HA HA! BUSINESS! continues my quixotic interest in making sense of it all. Yes, this is definitely a funny business! Ha ha." Text by Luis De Jesus on his group show on view now featuring the likes of Valerie Blass, Lex Brown, Josh Remes, and more. HA HA! BUSINESS! will be be on view until August 15, 2015 at Luis De Jesus gallery in Los Angeles. Photographs by Sara Clarken
