    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.

    I've been to Corey Helford Gallery twice now and both visits were excellent. My first trip was for…read moretheir Jack Kirby exhibit which was incredible, especially for a lifelong Marvel nerd like me. Most recently we went to the opening of Martin Wittfooth's "Deus Ex Terra" and it was a blast. Everyone around was really engaged with the art, the artist was there answering questions, and I dug the DJ's setting the mood inside. The gallery is huge, clean, and thoughtfully laid out, with multiple rooms showcasing different artists. The art they bring in is always unique, fascinating, and beautifully presented. Parking is easy (although it is in a bit of a rough area, so be prepared for that), the staff is friendly, and the space inside feels welcoming. This has become one of my favorite galleries in LA.

    I visited the gallery shortly after it opened and, upon arrival, found the space completely…read moreunattended. Assuming it was open to visitors, I began to walk through and observe. While exploring, I noticed several items laid out on a table without any signage indicating they were not to be touched. Out of curiosity, I lightly interacted with one of the items. At that point, a staff member named Sherry emerged from a back office and abruptly told me not to touch the piece, stating in a sharp and aggressive tone that it was art. I immediately stepped away and explained that the items were displayed without any warning or signage, and that her tone felt unnecessary. Had this been the extent of the interaction, my feedback would simply note unprofessional customer service. However, the situation escalated further. Due to her condescending demeanor, I asked for her name, especially given that the gallery was empty and had only recently opened for the day. She provided her name but then told me to leave. I responded that I was already on my way out, as I was waiting for my ride outside. Unexpectedly, she followed me outside and began asking for my name. I declined to provide it, at which point she continued questioning me in an increasingly confrontational manner. She then took out her phone and pointed it at me, appearing to record. Feeling uncomfortable and unsure of her intentions, I turned away and began to walk off, taking out my own phone as a precaution in case the situation escalated further. This experience was deeply concerning. The behavior displayed was inappropriate and unprofessional, particularly for someone in a leadership role at a gallery. While I respect the importance of preserving artwork, the lack of clear signage combined with an aggressive and escalating response created an unnecessarily hostile interaction. Overall, this encounter left a negative impression and from the small walk around I did you are NOT missing out and would recommend everyone to go elsewhere as there are PLENTY of galleries in the same area with a lot more excitement and professionalism.

Go spend it regulating your blood sugar levels from that hearty ramen/sushi lunch by walking around the Geffen Contemporary. They definitely get some interesting work coming through here; from highly technical paintings to puzzling installations 'n shit that is so ugly, you can only call it a modern art masterpiece. Though among my favorites has always been Haruki Murakami and all the sculptures and prints around the concept of Super Flat and the marriage of pop art to a fine art setting.

The show reflects on the histories and legacies of post-Civil War America and how they still shape conversations today. It brings together decommissioned monuments -- many of them Confederate -- alongside contemporary works that were both borrowed and newly created for this exhibition. Seeing these monuments removed from their original outdoor settings and placed inside a gallery changes everything. Some are unmarred. Others are heavily vandalized. Each state of transformation tells its own story. It forces you to look at them not as background fixtures, but as objects with weight, history, and consequence. The contrast between the historical monuments and the contemporary responses is powerful. It's not an easy exhibition, and that's the point. It invites reflection, discomfort, and dialogue. If you're looking for something visually impressive and intellectually challenging, this is absolutely worth your time.
