Jack Pierson at Regen Projects
I finally got around to seeing the new gallery space of Regen Projects. Jack Pierson's latest installation was a dramatic, haunting and a brilliant use of the space. And then there was "Motherfucker." Got to love it! Bravo all around!

Walter de Maria, The 2000 Sculpture at LACMA
Visited this monumental work by Walter de Maria at LACMA and it did not disappoint!
A pioneering figure in the development of minimal, conceptual, land art, and installation art, Walter De Maria has made minimalist horizontal sculptures that occupy entire rooms since 1969. Measuring 10 x 50 meters (approximately 33 x 164 feet), The 2000 Sculpture was first exhibited at the Kunsthaus Zurich in 1992. It is one of a series of works by De Maria featuring groupings of ordered elements using precise measurements, among them: The Lightning Field (1977), The Broken Kilometer (1979), and 360° I Ching (1981). In 2010, LACMA installed the sculpture in the Resnick Pavilion, prior to the building's official opening, in order to take advantage of the play of light and vast open space of Renzo Piano's gallery building before the interior walls were installed. The initial installation of The 2000 Sculpture in the Resnick Pavilion represented an ideal relationship between sculpture and architecture. The current presentation is the first official public exhibition of The 2000 Sculpture at LACMA, and only the second solo museum exhibition of De Maria's work in the United States.
