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 – it's a boundless creativity that bursts with schizophrenic, hallucinatory imaginativeness. Her paintings literally split at the imaginary seams, tearing into new images – 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.

Go See Christopher Richmond's "Double Fantasy" @ Moskowitz Bayse in Los Angeles

Moskowitz Bayse presents Double Fantasy, the first major solo exhibition in the United States of works by Los Angeles-based artist Christopher Richmond. Double Fantasy features two new ambitious 16mm film and video works by the artist, and marks the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Baffling and beautiful, Christopher Richmond makes films, videos, and photographs that challenge traditional story-telling conventions. Fixed meaning is subsumed in an animating tide of sound and light. By disrupting chronology, plot, and standard character development, Richmond invites the viewer to actively participate in the creation of meaning—to abandon the role of passive onlooker and become an active collaborator. Thematically, Richmond’s work explores the human condition, and his unconventional approach to narrative affords a range of alternate impressions. Christopher Richmond's "Double Fantasy" will be on view until April 23, 2016 at Moskowitz Bayse in Los Angeles.

Last Chance To Check Out Isa Genzken's Largest Retrospective To Date @ Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam

Largest retrospective ever in the Netherlands of one of the most influential artists of the last forty years. The exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective of Isa Genzken’s work. Isa Genzken (1948) is an artist prepared to risk everything in her pursuit of artistic renewal. Her oeuvre is rooted in the medium of sculpture, and is distinguished by a constantly evolving visual language and the unconstrained use of media. Genzken’s work encompasses sculpture, installation, film, video, painting, work on paper, collage, and photography. In the 1970s, she produced computer-designed sculpture in relation to American Minimalism and Conceptual Art. These sculptures were followed by one radical step after another. Isa Genzken "Mach Dich Hübsch" will be on view until March 6, 2016 at Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam

Ed Ruscha Screening of "Premium" Starring Larry Bell Screening This Week @ Hauser Wirth New York

One of only two films made by Ed Ruscha over his dynamic artistic career, Premium is a filmic translation of 1969's Crackers, one in an influential series of conceptual photography books created by Ruscha in the 1960s and 70s. Both the book and the film are based on the short story "How to Derive the Maximum Enjoyment from Crackers" written by Mason Williams, a musician and comedic writer for the Smothers Brothers, and a childhood friend of Ruscha's. Featuring perhaps one of the greatest appearances by salad in art history, Premium stars fellow L.A. art icon Larry Bell on a hilarious and absurd late-night adventure. Ruscha's film is an exploration of storytelling and the conventional narrative codes of Hollywood, featuring his signature deadpan humor and keen translation of the contemporary American condition. See Premium this week, March 3rd, 6pm, at Hauser Wirth New York on the occasion of the exhibition 'Larry Bell: From the ‘60s’ RSVP to bell@hauserwirth.com or call +1 212 794 4970
