Perfectly unusual settings for art in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is experiencing a surge in non-traditional exhibition spaces that bypass the conventional 'white cube' gallery model. Artists and curators are repurposing domestic apartments, former Vietnamese restaurants, vacant lots, and garages to host experimental shows. Notable examples include Greg Jenkins’s Paramount-Artcraft in the Fairfax District, Ian James’s Leroy’s in Chinatown, and David Horvitz’s 7th Ave Garden, which utilizes salvaged concrete from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to create an outdoor installation and reading space.

Gary Baseman fills iconic L.A. coffee shop with charming drawings on real restaurant menus

Artist Gary Baseman has opened his first hometown solo show in over a decade, titled “Off the Menu,” inside the long-shuttered Johnie’s Coffee Shop on Wilshire and Fairfax in Los Angeles. The exhibition features about 40 colored pencil drawings, mostly executed on real menus from iconic L.A. restaurants such as Musso & Frank, Canter’s Deli, and Genghis Cohen, as well as newer spots like Jon & Vinny’s. The whimsical show, which launched in conjunction with the opening of the Wilshire and Fairfax subway station, runs through June 14 and celebrates the dining culture and community of the Fairfax neighborhood.
