A Visit To The Rodnik Band's Chateau Marmont Bungalow Hideaway

Autre got a chance to step into the whimsical and surreal world of The Rodnick Band, and what better place for the United Kingdom-based fashion-label-cum-art-collective than the famed Chateau Marmont where Philip Colbert, the brain child behind the brand, and his wife Charlotte, have been holding court for the past month at their private bungalow. The mid-century Craig Ellwood-designed bungalow was a temporary diorama replete with The Rodnik Band's wide range of delectable offerings, from lobster rugs to raw meat tables sitting on cigarette legs and pop art furniture. Philip modeled the brand's range of tailored suits, one with an exploding popcorn pattern. Charlotte donned a beaded and sequined dress inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's famous sunflower paintings. At the end, Philip took us for a spin in a BMW 7-series vinyl wrapped with his signature fried egg pattern. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

Watch The Premiere Of Yulia Zinshtein's Sardonic New Short Film "Girls Going Wild" Shot In Miami During Art Basel

Girls Going Wild is a short film directed by Yulia Zinshtein in Miami during Art Basel. For those of us that grew up on early reality TV - shows like The Real World and Road Rules, which were usually punctuated by late-night infomercials for Girls Gone Wild – this portrait of young adults looking for the ultimate party in Miami is at once familiar, but all too honest and a sad and strange reflection of our times. Zinshtein says, "Girls Going Wild is about searching for the best party. This video aims to show how awkward that search can be...and that the very process becomes the best party you could ever find." Click here to read our short interview with Yulia Zinshtein.

"Don't Look Back: The 90s At MOCA" Group Show @ The Museum of Contemporary Art In Los Angeles

Don’t Look Back: The 1990s at MOCA comprises works from MOCA’s permanent collection that identify the recent decade’s key concerns and transformations, including many that have not been on view since originally shown and acquired. If the 1980s were shaped by the advent of identity politics, producing significant works that examined the nexus of race, gender, and sexuality, the 1990s both extended and challenged these ideas. Many artists turned to large-scale installations as a way to convey a complicated interface between the public and the museum, or to articulate the realms of overlap and dissonance in individual and public identities. The exhibition includes works by Catherine Opie, Cady Noland, Sarah Sze, and Paul McCarthy, among others, and explores the complexities of the period by dividing the presentation into six thematically grouped sections, titled: Installation; The Outmoded; Noir America; Place and Identity; Touch, Intimacy, and Queerness; and Space, Place, and Scale. Don’t Look Back: The 1990s at MOCA will be on view until July 11, 2016 at the Museum of Contemporary Art In Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

A Sneak Peek of Hauser Wirth and Schimmel's Inaugural Exhibition At Their Brand New Outpost In Los Angeles

Autre got a chance to check out a private preview of Hauser Wirth and Schimmel's brand new outpost in Los Angeles. The gallery currently presents ‘Revolution in the Making: Abstract Sculpture by Women, 1947 – 2016,’ the inaugural exhibition at its new complex in the heart of the downtown Los Angeles Arts District. Through nearly 100 works made by 34 artists over the past seventy years, this ambitious undertaking traces ways in which women have changed the course of art by deftly transforming the language of sculpture since the postwar period. Works on view reveal their makers inventing radically new forms and processes that privilege solo studio practice, tactility, and the idiosyncrasies of the artist’s own hand. ‘Revolution in the Making’ explores multiple strains of artistic approaches, characterized by abstraction and repetition, that reject the precedent of a monolithic masterwork on a pedestal, employing such tactics as stacking, hanging, and intertwining, to create an intimate reciprocity between artist and viewer. ‘Revolution in the Making: Abstract Sculpture by Women, 1947 – 2016' will be on view from March 13 to September 4, 2016 at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel in Los Angeles. photographs by Oliver Maxwell Kupper

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.
