Some Late 20th Century Abstraction is one of the first exhibitions since LACE moved to it's new building to fully make use of the space. The front gallery houses the hilarious work of Sean Duffy, who makes teddy bears out of beer cans and yarn. His objects are both endearing and pointed commentaries about consumer culture. In the front window is an installation by Barry Morse and Sue Kornfeld about the actress Gloria Graham, whose star is outside of LACE's window. Serge Armando, Arturo Herrera and Marko Milovanovic each explore the notion of minimal abstraction making compelling works that not only function well on their own, but also draw strength from the juxtaposition.
Simultaneous exhibitions fill the back, front, window and hallway galleries.
Of note are Franklin Westerbrook 's color photographs that utilize computer graphics in a seamless way. Wester-brook is a master at cutting and pasting from different sources to make a single image that speaks about racial tensions in Los Angeles. Westerbrook has a sophisticated sense of design that makes his images amazing to look at and to figure out.
