There will also be an additional event to follow on July 10th - a Poketo Karaoke Dance Party. Mark your calendars now for that craziness. Poketo's residency at Royal/T will include new product launches from artists APAK, James Gulliver Hancock, Devil Robots, Wonderful Design Works!, and Motomaho. Poketo will also be curating a special menu inspired by Japanese street foods for the Royal/T cafe.
Arthouse Films present 'Herb and Dorothy', a new award winning documentary that will debut in Los Angeles, on Friday, July 10 at the Landmark Nuart on Santa Monica Boulevard. For those of you out in the OC, there's a special screening tomorrow night at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA).
The film tells the extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal worker, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means. They lived off of Dorothy’s salary and used Herb’s to collect art. They only had two requirements when purchasing art: the piece had to be affordable, and it had to be small enough to fit in their one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. Over the decades they collected over 2,000 pieces of art, (keeping all of it in their tiny apartment) and became patrons of artists like Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert and Sylvia Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner.
Sour Harvest was launched in the winter of 2004 as a means to better showcase the emerging Los Angeles new contemporary art scene. We relaunched the site in a blog based format during the winter of 2007/2008 to allow for easier and more frequent updates. Features include our widely popular suggested show listings for the Los Angeles area (that are posted here and also sent out via e-mail on a weekly basis - sign up below), as well as regular show reviews, previews, interviews with our artists, and general updates on all the happenings at Thinkspace Gallery and our scene as a whole.
Established in November of 2005, Thinkspace exists as a catalyst for the ever expanding new contemporary art movement that is exploding forth from the streets and art schools the world over. We are here to help represent this new generation of artists, to provide them that home base and to aid them in building the right awareness and collector base necessary for long-term growth.
