There are no reliable maps in Lying, but only a little.
The exhibition brings together Mark Acetelli and Kristi Head, two Los Angeles–based painters whose works use the vocabulary of landscape while steadily dismantling its obligation to describe a real place. What remains is more interesting: memory without documentation, nature without geography, light detached from source.
The show asks a simple question without making too much ceremony of it — can an image be factually false and emotionally exact?
Los Angeles has always been a city of reinvention and light. Mark and Kristi each approach those ideas differently, but both share a commitment to creating spaces for contemplation, emotion and presence. In a time of constant noise, these works invite us to slow down, to look more carefully, and to rediscover the quiet power of observation.
Interval Gallery presents contemporary artists whose practices investigate perception, material, and cultural memory.
A single room on West Sunset Boulevard. Each exhibition is developed as a complete body of work rather than a group of individual pieces, and the room is hung with that in mind — enough space around each piece to let it be looked at properly.
A single room in the heart of Los Angeles, hung with intention.
The walls, the light, and the room as it changes across each exhibition — shown alongside work from the current show and scenes from the last opening.
