The exhibition will be on view from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday starting on August 6; the performance will take place in the gallery weekdays from 8 to 10 a.m. starting on August 12, and ending on August 31. The gallery will be open to the public during the early morning hours of the performance. There will be a conversation with the artist on Wednesday August 18, from 7 to 9 p.m.

On each performance day, Silver Simons will post a video on her website http://donisilversimons.com, on YouTubehttp://youtube.com/donisilversimons, and on Facebook http://facebook.com/donisilversimons.

These artists have all taken part in an ongoing series of printmaking workshops that Ruth Weisberg, Dean of University of Southern California (USC), Roski School of Fine Art, began with a group of 12 artists about six years ago. Some had been her students at USC; others faculty colleagues or USC Roski Board of Councilors; all attracted to the monotype printmaking techniques where an image is worked up on a plate and then rolled through the press. In contrast to etching, woodcut or lithography, only one print can be pulled.

L2kontemporary is pleased to present the third solo exhibition at the gallery from Los Angeles-based artist and performer Simone Gad.Her new work, which focuses mainly on buildings and their facades, addresses issues of old Los Angeles and Hollywood; what has disappeared from view and what remains. Bold, lush, oozy-goozy paintings, potent collages, and naïf drawings evoke memories of her early childhood in Brussels and of the post-WWII European diaspora to The Land of Sunshine and Oranges, Movies and Magic, Hope and Disappointment. Truly unique and timeless, Gad's oeuvre opens a portal for reverent reflection.
