Labyrinth

Pals Graham Kolbeins and Mya Stark got together and made some magic happen in West Hollywood. Working with forward thinking folks at the Pacific Design Center, Graham and Mya have been given the opportunity to meld their creative powers and open the doors to a new home for artists in LA at their new gallery space Mastodon Mesa.

Their kickoff started today, with the opening of Mastodon Maze. I'll be there Saturday night for the reception. Please come so you can hold my hand in the maze and keep me from getting lost. I have a terrible sense of direction.

In their words:

Mastodon Mesa invites you to a magical, labyrinthine group show, entitled Mastodon Maze. It may or may not include:

ballroom dancers, gynecological blasphemy, paleolithic wool-spinning workshops, modular tetrahedrons, fabric portal party arteries, cup-string telecommunications, undead florae, trompe-l’oeil record collections, dream object development, anachronistic mermen, hair-dryer symphonies, and a prism parlor.

Curated by Mya Stark & Graham Kolbeins

Mastodon Maze will be open during the PDC's "Art Contemporary Los Angeles" fair, Friday 1/29 - Sunday 1/31. Since we are not associated with the fair, admission to the maze is FREE! We are located on the 5th floor in room B528.

OPENING EVENT: Saturday, January 30th, 5:00pm - 7:00pm
