Art Party Agenda 7/20 – 7/26
Friday, July 24th
Gagosian Gallery is holding a solo exhibition by photographer Vera Lutter. In Lutter’s conceptual approach to the camera obscura, the most rudimentary form of photography, the apparatus records in a very direct and immediate way what exists in the world outside. By choosing to retain the negative image, she transforms the visual facts of her chosen environments into uncanny scenes that reflect on the two principal realities of time and space.
Time: 6pm – 8pm
Place: Map, 456 N. Camden Drive, Beverly Hills CA
