VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES: Look Closely

Start with one exhibition at VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES, then choose another art space or a museum with a different story.

Choose your next art stop.

One exhibition, not every room

My museum rule is to choose a focus before adding another stop. At VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES, make that focus contemporary art. The South Santa Fe Avenue gallery has indoor exhibition spaces spanning Gallery I through IV and a dedicated viewing room. Pick an exhibition, look closely, and let the work set the pace rather than trying to finish a room-count checklist.

The five recommendations below are choices, not a timed route. Luis De Jesus Los Angeles represents artists working in photography and mixed media. Nicodim Gallery Los Angeles presents contemporary art exhibitions in an industrial setting. Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) is a non-collecting institution with experimental exhibitions. African-American Firefighter Museum preserves Black fire-service history in historic Fire Station No. 30. Superchief Gallery LA supports independent artists and subcultures. Choose by the kind of work or history you want to spend time with.
