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. 🌇

Sandow Birk’s show of etchings, paintings and drawings opens tonight at Track 16 in East Hollywood with a reception from 6 to 9 PM.

Lane Barden’s Suitmasters…

“THEY ARE ACTIVE SURROGATES WHO DEMONSTRATE PERFORMED AUTHORITY WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. THEY OPERATE FROM THE NATIONAL IMAGINATION THAT CELEBRATES NATURAL BEAUTY AND FREEDOM WHILE CONCEALING THE NEED FOR DOMINATION, EXTRACTION, AND PERMANENT WAR. THEY EXHIBIT A PROFOUND ABSENCE OF CRITICAL THINKING AND INTEGRITY. THEY APPEAR TO BE HUMAN, BUT THEY WILL SHOOT YOU IN YOUR CAR JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.
THEY MAY SEEM TO BE INNOCENT WHITE AMERICANS OFFERING YOU A GOOD DEAL ON INSURANCE BUT THESE ARE THE TERRORISTS WHO WILL SEND YOU TO A SMALLER, WEAKER COUNTRY WITH ORDERS TO KILL EVERYONE IN IT WHO GETS IN YOUR WAY. YOU WILL FIND THEM SEEKING MONEY AND POWER ANY WAY THEY CAN GET IT. THEY ARE HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT, BUT YOU MAY SEE THEM IN YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR. YOU MAY SEE THEM AT THE CORNER DRUGSTORE. THEY CALL ON YOU TO USE CAUTION. THEY CALL ON YOU TO WATCH OUT. YOU HAD BETTER BE CAREFUL. YOU HAD BETTER BE DILIGENT. YOU HAD BETTER BE ON YOUR TOES.” — Lane Barden

Lane Barden’s 58-piece photo-based conceptual exhibition, “This Was the Land of Our Innocence,” explores the poetic resonance between the mythic democratic American landscape, our colonial aggression here and abroad, and our commitment to endless war.

Opening reception

Track 16 Gallery | East Hollywood
706 Heliotrope Dr.
Los Angeles, CA 90029

LOS ANGELES—Entering the world of Sandow Birk is to step into a tragic fairy tale-one inverted, where the “kingdom” is not distant but familiar, shaped by the realities of democracy, urbanism, and contemporary life. Presented in interrelated segments at Track 16 in East Hollywood, 𝕊𝕟𝕒𝕗𝕦 unfolds as an allegorical landscape where each body of work is a chapter in a larger civic fable.

In 𝕀𝕞𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕪 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕦𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤, speculative architectures rise like ruins from both past and future, recasting the American empire, governance, and historical narrative.

Pictured here is one of five paintings of Los Angeles birds installed in the back gallery. “House Sparrow.” 2025. Acrylic on canvas. 16 x 12 inches.

Today (Sunday) is the final day of the LA Art Book Fair at ArtCenter in Pasadena. It’s open from 11-6 and entry today is FREE!

From 12 PM to 1 PM we have Eve Wood at our table (B11) signing her new book “Diane Arbus Goes Shopping”.

We’ve brought a variety of material to our table: books we published over 30 years ago and books published last month, plus a selection of rare books and ephemera.

LOS ANGELES—Entering the world of Sandow Birk is to step into a tragic fairy tale-one inverted, where the “kingdom” is not distant but familiar, shaped by the realities of democracy, urbanism, and contemporary life. Presented in interrelated segments at Track 16 in East Hollywood, 𝕊𝕟𝕒𝕗𝕦 unfolds as an allegorical landscape where each body of work is a chapter in a larger civic fable.

In 𝕀𝕞𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕒𝕣𝕪 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕦𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤, speculative architectures rise like ruins from both past and future, recasting the American empire, governance, and historical narrative.

Anchoring the exhibition is 𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖 𝕆𝕦𝕥: 𝔸 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕦𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙 𝕥𝕠 𝔸𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕟 ℍ𝕚𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪
, an eight-and-a-half-foot-tall etching printed with 24 copper plates. As the arch continues its long history as a component of propaganda (i.e. “Arc de Trump”), Birk employs it to counter entrenched power.

Inspired by Albrecht Dürer’s 13-foot-high 𝕋𝕣𝕚𝕦𝕞𝕡𝕙𝕒𝕝 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙 (1515), it stands as a reimagined gateway—one that asks viewers to pass through and reconsider a shared U.S. “foundational” history as something built, formed, and shaped by people of color, long present yet often obscured.

Friday and Saturday are your last chances to see “Lost in Space,” Alicia Piller’s latest exhibition at Track 16 in East Hollywood. We’re open 11am-5pm at 706 Heliotrope Dr in East Hollywood.
