LA ALL DAY

so, i was lucky enough to get some fun in the sun (and some food poisoning - yay!) whilst i was in LA a couple of weekends ago. here's a recap!

first, i have the best friends in the world. they arranged for me to stay with them at a new hotel in koreatown, called the Line. it was magic. the view was unreal - we could see all of the hollywood hills including the hollywood sign AND the griffith observatory. we were on the 12th floor, and it felt like the top of the world (kind of. maybe not that tall. but you get the point.)

i highly recommend you try this place out. the drinks at the bar were solid, the rooms were cozy, and apparently they'll be opening a pool. it's also super centrally located.

we went to Wacko's/La Luz de Jesus of course, and found the most amazing piece ever. had it not been sold, i would've bought it on the spot.


Cheyenne Ngyun, Well Hello, Motherfucker

unfortunately, i can't seem to locate the artist anywhere online - any help, please? thanks!

the highlight for the weekend for me was seeing my BFF, of course. but also getting to see the James Turrell retrospective at the LACMA.


this is an illegal shot. shh, don't call the art police.

it was inspiring, overwhelming, and exciting, just like good art should be. Ganzfeld, one of the pieces, was a light-filled room that you entered. again, much like the Turrell in Naoshima, it was incredibly trippy and felt like you were Mike TeeVee from Willy Wonka. you can see the brochure for the exhibition, here. there are better pictures in the pamphlet. i also bought the book because i can't stop myself.

it was entirely too short of a trip, and now i have to make arrangements to go back to see the Mike Kelley retrospective at MOCA. anyone like to join?
