Now that I'm back, I've realized that driving from Boulder to LA (in either direction) is not ideal if traveling by myself or without stopping for the night. After each drive I felt like a zombie. Despite that element I enjoyed the trip quite a bit. I was able to see many friends (though not all), discuss potential galleries to connect with, eat good food, and see a couple of exhibitions.
I was impressed by the show at MOCA "WHAK! Art and the Feminist Revolution" as well as the accompanying show "Andrea Zittel: Critical Space". The first show had virtually every important artist associated with the feminist movement from the 60s through the 80s. I was surprised by how many video pieces were there as well. That may be the most I've seen in one show. The second show "Critical Space" was also interesting. I enjoy Zittel's work, but it was more interesting when viewing a large number of pieces together. The earlier work helps to get a better idea of how her ideas have progressed to the current work. Now I feel inspired to build similar pieces to make my living space more dynamic and space efficient.
