It stars Zosia Mamet, Jake Hoffman, Leo Fitzpatrick, Waris Ahluwalia and more. Today, the film is available on demand and there will be limited screenings in Los Angeles.
Matthew Marks presents Nan Goldin "Blood On My Hands." It is the first public exhibition of Goldin’s drawings, and it includes five new large-scale “grids” of multiple photographs composed in a single frame. Goldin has kept a diary since childhood, often filling the pages with drawings. Recently those drawings have taken on a new life as independent works of art. Emerging from her regular practice of daily reflection, they share the charged emotional atmosphere of her photographs, but their symbolic imagery, handwritten texts, and complex surfaces, made with a variety of mediums, introduce an expressive element that is new to her work. Goldin selects the photographs for her grids according to formal or psychological themes. For the new grids, the unifying element is color: pink, blue, gold, red, or black. Nan Goldin "Blood On My Hands" will be on view until December 23, 2016 @ Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. photographs by Adam Lehrer

Colombia just signed an historic peace deal with the FARC rebel army after 50 years of conflict. At the same time, Trump is elected President of the United States. Where one conflict ends, another is just burgeoning. During the International Art Fair of Bogota, ARTBO, artist and photographer Mattea Perrotta captured the city in this transitory stage, which proves that even the end of war can look nauseously like peace. Perrotta describes the energy in poetic strokes: "Su Merced: Kaleidoscope of anxiety, hope fear rage, gravitational waves, a similar rhythm, home and abroad, but a different beat, guerrilla FARC, Donald Trump, at war for 52 years, at war for seven days, juemadre juemadre juemadre, bastard! A peace accord seeking to be met, whisper your longing, in persistence tranquillo." photographs by Mattea Perrotta

Tonight, NoSESSO will premiere their Spring Summer 2017 collection, entitled Working Girl, along with a soft sculpture installation and an accompanying video about the new line, at Wayside LA (857 S San Pedro Street Unit 310, Los Angeles). Wayside LA will also be hosting a pop up on Saturday where you can purchase NoSESSO items - follow them on Instagram for times.
