Mauricio Espinosa: “The Traveler Dilated” & Zackary Drucker “The Inability to Be Looked at and the Horror of Nothing to See” (Steve Turner Contemporary)
“The Traveler Dilated” is a collection of sculptures and drawings from LA artist Mauricio Espinosa. He’s an abstract artist and since it’s very difficult to describe abstract art, here is an excerpt from the presser:
“
Sounds like fun, yeah?
The second show opening at Steve Turner is Zachary Drucker’s “The Inability to Be Looked at and the Horror of Nothing to See.” Here’s an excerpt from that show:
“It is a site-specific phantasm that explores masochistic identity construction, new-age tyranny, and collective experience. Viewers were directed through a series of breathing exercises, visions, and traumas, while participants pluck hair from the androgynous, stripped body of the artist.”
Zachary Drucker is also, according to himself, “a limp wrested switch queen.”
Both shows will be running until July 2nd. The opening reception is this Saturday from 6pm-8pm.
“Santa Ana Art walk” (various galleries in the Santa Ana Art District)
Being the first Saturday of the month, Santa Ana will be having its monthly art walk. The big galleries to check out here are Grand Central,At Space Contemporary, and the OCCCA (on a side note OCCCA is the worst name ever for a gallery.) In addition to those galleries there are also open studios featuring art students from Cal State Fullerton.
This is will going on all day and night.
