James Georgopoulos 'There Is No End' @ MAMA in Los Angeles

MAMA Gallery presents an exhibition of new work by American artist James Georgopoulos. The exhibition explores familiar themes and tropes of sexuality, consumerism, and money worship – thoughtfully disguised in popular culture as the American dream. Following in the same lineage of artists such as John Chamberlain or even Marcel Duchamp, by using objects – old car parts, disused slot machines and other jettisoned materials – Georgopoulos investigates the self-cannibalizing culture of consumerism. There Is No End will be on view February 28 through April 4, 2015. The opening reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 from 6:00PM - 9:00PM

SeMen SPeRmS and Nick Stewart 'American Remains' @ The Salon

The Salon at Automatic Sweat presents American Remains, an exhibition of sculptures and installations by SeMeN SPeRmS and Nick Stewart. The exhibition presents a collection of artifacts from a proposed mythology that straddles the indistinct line between American history and rural legend. Inspired by the decrepit highway-side nowhere towns of the southwest, the works offer warped satellite dishes and abandoned single-wide trailers as the weathered remnants of westward expansion. These ubiquitous emblems of a proud historical narrative about a prosperous America are presented alongside idiosyncratic icons of contemporary desert folklore, characterized by supernatural suspicion, eerie phenomena and UFO sightings. The exhibition on view now at The Salon. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

'The Shell' @ Almine Rech Gallery In Paris

Inspired by Peter Schjeldahl’s quote that “Modern art history has ceased to represent a road traveled, and has come to seem an encircling panorama,” this exhibition gathers paintings (landscapes, portraits, shapes) by nearly twenty international artists from different generations, from Bridget Riley to Christian Rosa. Their artistic commitment harks back to some various eras when choosing a discipline –visual arts – didn’t carry the same promises or contingencies. The Shell will be on view until February 14, at Almine Rech Gallery in Paris.

Harmony Korine 'Raiders' @ Gagosian Beverly Hills

To create Raider Burst (2014), Korine stuck overlapping segments of masking tape to the center of an unprimed canvas, then used a broom to spread primary red, yellow, and blue dyes over the surface. He then removed the tape to reveal bright, irregular stars shining through colorful mists; the final composition is characterized by a spontaneous, explosive radiance. Other paintings are inhabited by shadowy, clawed creatures reminiscent of Goya’s ghastly Caprices, obscured by layers of housepaint, sprayed with letters, and repainted over the course of several years. Raiders will be on view until February 14, 2015 at Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills. photographs by Douglas Neill
