Scion's Love Will Bring Us Apart Again

Arts - Other

Written by Daniel Sargeant

Wednesday, 13 February 2008

In association with Apart, Scion presents: Love Will Bring Us Apart Again, at its Installation LA Gallery. With a 27 pop artist shootout, this show is Apart's first stateside venture.

Curator and gallerist Adrian Palengat will bring together over two dozen of Apart's artists, from 10 different countries, to show their very distinct flavor on U.S. shores.

ACED spoke to Palengat about the show.

What is the theme of the show?

It's simply to show how pop art is constantly being re-interpreted and reworked by artists working in different media around the world.

How did you select and find the artists involved?

They've been scooped up by Apart over the last nine years and I picked the ones for this show who were most likely to get their work in a container on time!

How did Scion find you and approach you to do a show?

I hosted Freddi C and the Scrawl Collective's Big American Graffiti show Streetwise One in my London gallery in 2001.

What's been the biggest challenge you've faced in putting together this show?

It's still to come—hanging it on the 15th!

Is there anything in particular you would like people to take away from this show - what would you like to inspire in those that view the artwork?

The same response that we always seem to get which is: inspiration, joy, laughter and fascination at how these artists think of the things they do and....how, a bit like the Harlem Globetrotters, they put on such a great spectacle as a team.

What do you have lined up for the future? What's next after this show?

I'm curating a three week group show at Steve Shaw's beautiful new Abbott Kinney gallery on the 16th March, then back to London to curate an enormous Notting Hill Apart Retrospective for all of our artists to say hello to their old clients, then back to Las Vegas where I'm putting on another big group show in mid May downtown, then to Zurich for a Pakpoom Silaphan solo show... and the rest of the year I'll work out as I go! ◊

Amongst the eclectic lineup will be Sex Pistols photographer Peter Gravelle, Belgian caravan artist Mr Wim, Swedish latex scupltress Emelie Salford, Japanese designer and photographer Super Violence, French punk teddy bear creator Tony Pronier and English glitter king Robalot.

Other participating artists in Love Will Bring Us Apart Again include: Tim Blake (U.K.), Conrad Leach (U.K.), Luis Perez (Spain), Gustavo Gagliardo (Argentina), Sean Alexander (U.K.), Pakpoom Silaphan (Thailand), Craig Lynn (U.K.), James Holdsworth (U.K.), Cat James (U.K.), Ryan Hadley (U.K.), Nick McFarlane (New Zealand), Ben Allen (U.K.), Dominic Allan (U.K.), John Parkin (U.K.), Brian Jones (U.K.), Janna Stern (U.S.A.), David Hollier (U.K.), Sunil Pawar (U.K.), James Mathers (U.S.A.), John Counsell (U.K.), and Antoine Corbineau (France).

The opening reception takes place February 16, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Scion Installation L.A. Gallery, 3521 Helms Ave. (at National), Culver City, Calif., 90232. The show will run until March 1.
