Winter BCAM Shows
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Let’s follow up a long discussion of three shows at LACMA with a very brief discussion of three shows at LACMA. The three winter shows in BCAM are: Blinky Palermo: Retrospective 1964–1977, William Eggleston: Democratic Camera—Photographs and Video, 1961–2008, and Color and Form (an installation not exhibition). Let’s make this quick.
Blinky (yes I’m going to cal him by his first name) is organized by the Dia Art Foundation and the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard. The show’s first stop is LACMA, then it travels east to the Hirshhorn and then north to Dia Beacon. Interestingly the show is presented by Christies (hmm) and the tour is made possible by Gucci (who knew the Italian fashion house was interested in contemporary art or that the Gucci marketing people are). Above the entrance to the show is the only semblance of exhibition design, a stupid painted blue triangle. The only interesting thing to note about this show was that the labels were meticulously hidden in the doorways between each room, limiting distraction. I think LACMA knows how boring this show is and actually stooped this low in a sad effort to make it interesting.
