Currently they are preparing for an installation which promises to be really cool. There were two guys setting up the installation and they let us in. They were not art snobs and that's a plus! The installation is comprised of interactive works of art. There are handles which you turn that makes the works of art come alive. This particular installation was pretty humorous in a provocative way in my opinion. The Box usually has very provocative art. Perhaps it is the gallery with the most controversial art in the whole CAD! The box has a pretty storefront. Parking nearby is $5 and up but if you are willing to walk a couple of blocks you can park for free in a little residential area to the north by Pho 87.

His team managed to frame a 6' by 9' canvas for me, in the right shade of walnut and the right dimensions, without us even having to meet in person. His attention to detail and standard of service was excellent. The delivery and installation service was punctual, efficient and friendly. I will be using Steve for future framing jobs, especially for large scale art.

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.
