13ThingsLA is turning TWO 🌟

To celebrate, we’re opening up our next walkthrough with artist Sandow Birk at Track 16 to ALL subscribers — including free subscribers — because this one is really about celebrating the LA art community that’s grown around 13ThingsLA over the last two years.

Building an independent, reader-powered arts publication in Los Angeles has meant everything to us. No paid-to-play. No outside interests steering coverage. Just a genuine love for artists, culture, and this weird, beautiful city.

Join us Sunday, May 31 for a sip, a nosh, and a walkthrough surrounded by fellow art lovers.

✨ IMPORTANT: You must be a subscriber to RSVP — even at the free level. So make sure you’re subscribed before claiming your spot. 🔗 in bio and once subscribed RSVP: 13ThingsLA@hijinxarts.com

And yes… more walkthroughs, studio visits, gatherings, and community things are coming this next year.

We’d love to celebrate with you. 🌇

The FEATURED PICK in this week’s @13thingsla is… Devon DeJardin: To the Garden We Return, Wednesday, May 20, 7pm at albertz benda. To quote the great Joni Mitchell, “We are stardust. We are golden. And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.” Painter Devon DeJardin takes this imperative to heart in a moody new collection of large-scale botanical compositions with an eerie, lush, atmospheric, and nearly extraterrestrial surrealism that exists beyond mere past and future timelines. One night only in WeHo, rideshare encouraged; albertzbenda.com. —SND

There’s something deeply satisfying about this show. At first glance, the work pulls you in with this sense of lush preservation and domestic beauty, but then you realize Lynn Aldrich is building these scenes out of garden hoses, rain gutters, cleaning supplies, and the quiet debris of consumer life. It’s sharp, funny, and unexpectedly emotional without ever trying too hard.

We loved this show. @lynnaldrich_art brings the kind of insight and lived perspective that only comes with time, and it feels really good seeing her get her flowers. Go see this show.

Congratulations to our dear friend Gary Baseman (@garybaseman) on the opening of his newest exhibition, Off The Menu, inside the iconic Johnie’s Coffee Shop at Fairfax and Wilshire.

The work is so lovely in person, and stepping inside Johnie’s feels like walking into another era entirely. Paired with Gary’s signature whimsy and charm, it’s a genuinely delightful experience. Highly recommend.

Opening weekend festivities coincide with the opening of the new Wilshire/Fairfax Metro station, with music, performances, and community celebrations happening throughout the weekend. The exhibition remains on view through June 14. 🌟

The FEATURED PICK in this week’s @13thingsla is… Analia Saban: Data Center and Tacita Dean: Eclipse Drawings open Saturday, May 9, 5-8pm at Gemini G.E.L. Saban remixes digital-age neuro-entrails into new patterns that make both more sense and less, thinking through the nebulous wet-tech infrastructure of the information economy—circuit boards, cooling systems, and server racks—in meticulously debossed paper and tactile ink. Dean captures the astronomical friction of the 2024 total solar eclipse through a suite of lithographs that prioritize the erratic, atmospheric shifts of the celestial event over its operatically cliche climax. On view in West Hollywood through September 4.

Find gallery exhibitions that pull apart the armature of reality at Gemini G.E.L., Philosophical Research Society, Art/Space 114, Richard Heller Gallery, Tierra del Sol Gallery, Don’t Look Projects, and Shoshana Wayne Gallery; plus art-infused dance, performance, avant-garde animation, and more at The Wallis, ICA LA, Clockshop, MAK Center, Fais-Do-Do, and then it’s back to PRS for a suitably unhinged Mothers Day.

What a beautiful Sunday afternoon at artist Robin Raznick’s studio, Robin’s Nest, co-hosted by Shana Nys Dambrot.

I love a good art salon ✨ We need more of these gatherings.

Robin’s work blew my mind. Learning she also grew up in the Hollywood Hills, there’s a real familiarity in her color palette and the specificity of those hills. The technique is highly skilled. The ceramics are off the hook.

Can’t wait for the next one.

The FEATURED PICK in this week’s 13ThingsLA is…Our Fantabulously Furry Feline Friends opens Saturday, May 2, 6-10pm at Thinkspace. The insidious appeal of pictures of cats survives its internet-exhausted ubiquity in this sprawling survey of some 50 global artistic perspectives—a collection that treats the feline form as the versatile chimera, subject deserving of technical rigor, and site of enduring mythological archetype that it is. On view in West Adams through May 23. Read more and subscribe today to never miss a thing: https://hijinxarts.substack.com/p/13thingsla-april-29
