We had moved into an old 20s building and needed to make sure the art could endure the thick wall during an earthquake causing as little damage done to the walls, since we are renting. The sizes of the pieces range from small to 8ft long and no task was too big or too time consuming. The mural over our staircase is very grand and Carlos got it done so fast and so evenly, I couldn't believe how seamless. It's most important to mention, our installation was scheduled during the very difficult fire season we had here in LA this January. Carlos was incredibly communicative during that time, as rescheduling was obvious and not a problem but it became clear that this family business means family and then business Not to mention a local hero for his local community at that time, look no further!

The response they received to completely reasonable questions was so unbelievably unprofessional and curt - see the attached screenshot which speaks for itself. I have never encountered this sort of treatment before and am grateful that we didn't get to the point where we entrusted them with their services. As a business that presumably works with high-value artwork, they have no right to respond to questions about insurance coverage in the dismissive manner that they did. Mistakes CAN happen, that's why insurance exists... why should someone trust a person who merely says "We do this every day and nothing is a problem" but can't provide the dollar amount that their insurance policy covers? Do not recommend under any circumstances especially if you're seeking installation of high-value works.

From the moment you enter the space, art is the focal point. The graffiti art and murals that cover the exterior walls of the building are eye-catching. As you walk through the main office area, samples of work the team has done over the years fills every inch of the interior walls. It's truly inspiring walking through the space. If you are unsure of what you want, these examples will stimulate the creative process. Every person that I spoke with had great energy and were there to help. You can see the enjoyment they get out of the work that they do. You can sense the care and pride they take in being part of the artistic process. These guys have seen and done it all. Glad I was introduced to this space by artist, Pamela B. The framing they've done for her is phenomenal. Excited to go back!

We were going to the Obscure Bar in the Arts District for the 6 cocktail we had no clue what at 8pm…read moreand while I had walked past this beautiful restaurant a few times roaming around the DTLA arts district, I had never actually eaten at Manuela's. This restaurant is set in the Hauser and Wirth art Gallery complex and since we got there early we toured the front gallery with an incredible assist from a docent named Michael who pointed out the most incredible pieces and steered us to the gallery at the back of the complex behind Manuela's. Both galleries are worth exploring. THE GENERATIVE UNIVERSE In the main gallery, there was an exhibition of one artist work: Keith Tyson. His work begins from the belief that the universe operates as a single generative system--a continuously shifting causal network in which forms arise, transform and dissolve. Originally trained as an engineer, Tyson was an early practitioner of generative art, often approaching artmaking through the logic of systems and natural processes, allowing a blend of chance, material behavior, mathematics and intuition to shape the outcome. The work was thought provoking and with the help of Michael the docent/guard, we learned the importance of the work moving from the natural world to the blend with technology to the technological.

It was my first time here even though they were having a 10 year anniversary party. I vaguely knew…read moreabout this place, but I abstained from going because I'm not into modern art. However, on the Time Out website I read that there would be free ice cream and biscuits and the courtyard looked amazing, so I finally decided to go. As an Angeleno my first concern is always parking. I read from previous reviewers that you could pay for valet for the onsite restaurant, Manuela, but when I looked at the menu it looked a bit expensive, so I didn't want to do that. Then I read another reviewer say they found street parking on Hewitt, but when I saw a parking enforcement car there it made me worried, so I ultimately settled on a $5 per hour lot where you could pay by text, which turned out the best since I could extend my stay through my phone when I decided to stay longer. They do trick you though because they'll open up other windows, so you have to make sure you're on the right window where you can extend, not pay for a new session altogether. The old flour mill is beautifully renovated. The exterior alone makes it look brand new. Walking in there's a long hall that leads to the amazing courtyard, but along the way you'll see exhibit rooms and a bookstore. In total I saw 2 big exhibit rooms, 1 small exhibit room, a screening room, a bookstore, and another garden off to the side in addition to the courtyard in the middle. The vibe was casual with people bringing their children and dogs, there was a live band playing salsa music, and a taco truck across the street where I bought my lunch then ate it at the courtyard which has tables and benches. As for the art itself, watching the screenings really does help because then you know what you're looking at. Like one of the pieces was a sculpture of monstrous faces on a marble pedestal. The artist explained that he saw eyes wherever there was a dot in the marble which inspired the faces on the sculpture. Since I didn't want to leave in the middle of the films or the live conversations with the artists themselves, I ended up missing out on the free ice cream, which sucked, but now I'm planning to visit Watts Towers in the future because of the film and panel afterward. It really is a nice space to visit even though I'm not a fan of modern art. At the very least this festival helped me understand some of it a little bit more.
