Curators Meg Linton and John O’Brien have selected Stephen Cohen Gallery artist Arthur Taussig’s complete Alice (The Alchemical Adventures of Alice or the Ninety-Nine Headless Woman) series of 99 large format prints to exhibit in Meticulosity at Ben Maltz Gallery.
Meticulosity

Meticulosity features the work of 11 Southern California based artists who each work in various genres ranging from painting to installation to digital/virtual formats. The title references both the technical/formal approach of the artists as well as the spiritual focus of their creative efforts, their tenacity, and continuity. The selected artworks were created in a meditative or highly focused mode or through a trance-like process. The painstaking kind of exactitude determined by these works on different orders is something these artists want the viewer to perceive along with the conceptual values. We connect that visual meticulousness to a sense of the ineffable, or that which is beyond words, and to the meaning of beauty.

The History of Bruce : Original 8mm Films and Color Slide Presentation
Screening March 1, 2012 from 7 - 9pm
Presenting an evening of original, vintage Bruce of Los Angeles 8mm films and color slides. Tracing the History of Bruce (1948 - 1970) from his earliest black and white Muscle Beach images to his highly stylized color photographs and erotic nudes of the 1970’s in slide presentation. Completing the evening, with several vintage and rarely seen Bruce color 8mm films. This little known side of Bruce’s work, adds yet another dimension to the body of work that documented so accurately and artfully, the movement known even today as the Golden Age of Physique Photography.
