Humble but proud to be part of J.Paul Getty’s, LA citywide art initiative, Pacific Standard Time, in January 2012

Pacific Standard Time is an unprecedented collaboration of cultural institutions across Southern California coming together to celebrate the birth of the L.A. art scene. Beginning October 2011, over 60 cultural institutions will make their contributions to this region-wide initiative encompassing every major L.A. art movement from 1945 to 1980. Celebrate the era that continues to inspire the world.

Refocus: Multicultural Focus
Arena 1

In 1981 the exhibition Multicultural Focus was mounted at Los Angeles Municipal Gallery Barnsdall Park where Josine Starrels was Gallery Director. Organized by Sheila Pinkel and curated by twelve artist/curators in the Los Angeles area — three each from the black, Latino, white and Asian communities — it was the first cross-cultural exhibition of photography in the Los Angeles area. Refocus: Multicultural Focus will include current work by most of the original artists in the exhibition. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition providing information on the original show juxtaposed to contemporary work and statements by participating artists. A new catalogue essay will reflect the changes that have taken place in multiculturalism and photography during the intervening thirty years. Participating artists include Arden Alger, Don Anton, Stephen Axelrad, Carroll Parrott Blue, Elizabeth Bryant, Gillian Brown, Steve Beherns, Dennis Callwood, Todd Gray, Robin Lasser and Adrienne Pao, Daniel Martinez, Willie Middlebrook, Patrick Nagatani, Peter Reiss, Joan Salinger, Rick Tejada-Flores, Linda Wolf, Nancy Webber, Mihoko Yamagata and Bruce Yonomoto.
