artwork by Aakash Nihalani

In January 2010, Carmichael Gallery (1257 N La Brea Ave in West Hollywood, CA) presents On & Off (Often On), the first West Coast solo exhibition of Aakash Nihalani. In addition to a characteristically arresting site-specific installation comprised of brightly colored tape, Nihalani introduces a new artistic direction by using metal and plastic to create sculptural objects.

There will be an opening reception for On & Off (Often On) Thursday, January 21 with Nihalani in attendance.

"Spokes" by Mark Jenkins

In January 2010, Carmichael Gallery also presents Meaning Is Overrated, a solo exhibition of new hyper realistic conceptual works and site-specific installation pieces by Mark Jenkins that reconsider the aesthetic and practical qualities of the human body. Works range from those in which the human is recast as a specialized object, such as "Spokes" which features a tape cast sculpture of a girl fashioned to function as a bicylce, to those in which human posture is contorted to resemble that of another animal. Each piece is “an exploration of evolution within the realm of the absurd,” says Jenkins.

The opening reception for Meaning Is Overrated is also Thursday, January 21 with Jenkins in attendance. Both exhibitions are on display through February 18, 2010.
