Vogue Multicultural Museum Launches Pink Floyd Exhibit in Hollywood, CA

 By Karen Ostlund

Los Angeles is the 5th city to host  The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, the retrospective of Pink Floyd, their music, art and culture as a high-tech audio-visual event.
The organizers have planned to tour the exhibit 10 years from opening date May 13 2017, at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, followed by Rome, Dortmund, Madrid and today Los Angeles' Vogue Multicultural Museum, September 3rd until January 9th 2022.   

https://youtu.be/LzqjMQtY6FA

The exhibition is enhanced by music and the voices of past and present members of Pink Floyd, including Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and David Gilmour, who are talking about their experiences and musical experimentation via an intuitive audio guide system in the Performance Zone, where visitors enter an immersive audio-visual space, which includes Pink Floyd classic tracks, as well as the recreation of the last performance of David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, performing “Comfortably Numb” at Live 8 in 2005.  

 The Pink Floyd Exhibit is promoted by Michael  Cohl of S2BN Entertainment, in association with L.A. event promoter, Diego Gonzalez.  The setup of "Their Mortal Remains" started with a ribbon-cutting, 10AM August 10 2021, at the entrance of Vogue Multicultural Museum at 6675 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, CA.                 

August 10th, 2021, Latino actor and activist Edward James Olmos kicked off a ribbon cutting for the Vogue Multicultural Museum, to start the set-up of The Pink Floyd exhibit, which traveled from Europe.
 Olmos was joined by Marcela Celorio, the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles, Ana Martinez, the Hollywood Walk of Fame producer, as well as producer Diego Gonzalez and designer Mitzy.  

“I feel very proud to have the opportunity to introduce a new era of cultural exhibitions for the city of Los Angeles, especially with the timeless and legendary Pink Floyd, a band so inspirational to myself and millions of fans all around the world for generations,” said Diego Gonzalez (left on photo). 

“This exhibition will be a really exciting opportunity for people to come together to experience music, culture, design and innovation, all principles that Pink Floyd represent in their music. I couldn’t imagine a better exhibition to inaugurate the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Hollywood.” 
                                                                    

Stage-art from the album "The Wall".

Pink Floyd’s album "The Wall" was completed and mixed in LA,  and in 1980 the group performed the first of 31 live shows at Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.   
The Pink Floyd Exhibit  is a collaboration between the members of Pink Floyd and curator, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, designers  Stufish, and developed closely with Nick Mason, consultant for Pink Floyd. The show features over 350 artifacts collected over the band’s five decades career.
Each chapter of the Pink Floyd story is represented, with objects, handwritten lyrics, musical instruments, letters, original artwork, and many of the stage props. Some of these items have long been held in storage facilities, film studios, and in the personal collections of band members.
                                                                      

Album and stage art "The Division Bell".

The ticket holders will find themselves transported to the band’s beginnings in 1967 on the underground scene in 1960’s London including pictorial examples of the atmospheric oil and light projections as well as the equipment used by Pink Floyd’s  1960s-era lighting designer, Peter Wynne Willson.
It’s a trip of Pink Floyd’s history, connecting with music, art and design, sound technology and live performance via landmark albums such as "The Dark Side Of The Moon”, "Wish You Were Here”, “Animals”, "The Wall", and "The Division Bell".   
 
An original painting by Syd Barrett, is featured before becoming a full-time musician, and an replica of his famed mirrored Fender guitar.  
Also on display, is the "Azimuth Co-Ordinator", the custom-built device used by Richard Wright to pan the group’s live sound, via a joystick, around any given venue. The Azimuth played an integral part in Pink Floyd’s theatrical live performances at venues such as London’s Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall in the late 1960s as well as on the recording of the clock montage for ‘Time’ on "The Dark Side of the Moon".    
 
Several 1970s instruments from EMI’s Abbey Road Studio (Meddle, The Dark Side  Of  The Moon, and Wish You Were Here) are displayed here, including Nick Mason’s ‘Hokusai Wave’ drum kit from 1975 and a selection of David Gilmour’s equipment and artifacts, and Roger Waters’ Ovation bass guitar from ‘74 – ‘78. Also included are Pink Floyd’s soundtracks for the art-house movies, More, La Vallée , Zabriskie Point, and Pink Floyd 1972 film, ‘Live  At  Pompeii’.
 
The world-famous artwork for 1973’s The Dark Side  Of  The Moon  was created by Hipgnosis, the design partnership founded by co-curator Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell and the late Storm Thorgerson. 
Hipgnosis’ work is on display throughout the exhibit, alongside artwork and stage designs created for the band by others, including Gerald Scarfe (whose very first drawing of the band is included in the comic book program on display from 1974) and the late Mark Fisher. 
 Among the many artwork pieces on display are alternative imagery of architect Giles Gilbert Scott’s Battersea Power Station, the building immortalized by Roger Waters’ interpretation on the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album,  Animals, with the flying pig, Algie, and the only remaining model sheep which was fired from mortars and parachuted over the audience during the
’77 In The Flesh tour in US.    
In 1979, Roger Waters conceived "The Wall “ which explored childhood alienation, the Second World War, the loss of his father, through to the rites of passage of a rock star. The album’s artwork and  cast of characters, including a huge inflatable cane-wielding schoolteacher, were created by cartoonist and illustrator Gerald Scarfe. Some of Roger’s original biro sketches and lyrics for The Wall accompanied by a mannequin cloaked in his black leather coat and megaphone from the 2010-2013 The Wall shows.    
These characters were then re-imagined by Mark Fisher as huge inflatables in the subsequent ‘Wall’ stage show, some of which have been re-created by Stufish and will feature in the exhibition. Included are the cane used by the headmaster at the Cambridge and County High School for Boys on his pupils, Roger Waters, Syd Barrett, and collaborator Storm Thorgerson and a punishment book detailing the dates and reasons for the beatings - all inspiration for the schoolteacher character and the song “Another Brick In The Wall Pt 2.”   

Lightbulbs suits worn by two mannequins mimicking the cover of the 1988 live album, "Delicate Sound  Of  Thunder”.

 

In 1987, Pink Floyd returned to Los Angeles to record their debut album without Roger called "A Momentary Lapse of Reason". The Pink Floyd’s imagery and live shows continued from the late 1980s and mid-’90s with world tours for the 
"A Momentary Lapse  Of  Reason “ and "The Division Bell " albums.
 On display are specially reconstructed suits of lightbulbs worn by two mannequins mimicking the cover of the 1988 live album, "Delicate Sound  Of  Thunder” -  which was photographed in Madrid in 1989. The giant metal and stone ‘talking heads’ was conceived by Storm Thorgerson  for the sleeve of 1994’s  "The Division Bell”.

LA Artshow’s Summer Edition kicks off July 29 to Aug.1 2021 at LA Convention Center.

 LA Artshow’s Summer Edition kicks off July 29 to Aug.1 2021 with the latest
 technology in AR, VR, and NFT trends in the art world.

By Karen Ostlund    

Vellum LA:Sea Change by Blake Kathryn

This year, LA Artshow's new director Kassandra Voyagis will take you to a closer look at some of the latest technology in AR, VR, and NFT trends in the art world, while still offering a conventional lens for art around the globe.
NFT (CryptoArt) will debut the LA Art Show, and be presented by Vellum LA, which is the first physical gallery for NFT-backed digital art in Los Angeles, ahead of their opening in
September 2021 at 7673 Melrose in West Hollywood.
Vellum LA was created with the goal of meaningfully situating the digital and crypto art
communities within the context of art history.
The gallery presents curated shows designed to be relevant to
patrons on either end of the digital-analog spectrum, and anywhere in between.
                                                         

Vellum LA: Sam Clover (PLANTTDADDII)

Vellum LA’s exhibit "Sea Change” is a physical NFT exhibition in partnership with SuperRare,
 the show’s official marketplace partner.
"Sea Change" will feature the works of 11 new media artists as
Claudia Hart, Auriea Harvey, Krista Kim, Marjan Moghaddam, Itzel Yard (Ix Shells), Blake Kathryn,
Nicole Ruggiero, Sam Clover (PLANTTDADDII), Sabrina Ratté and more. Curated by Nxt Museum curator Jesse Damiani and Vellum LA curator Sinziana Velicescu,

 Summer Edition of LA Artshow 2021 will also feature the return of DIVERSEartLA,
 curated by Marisa Caichiolo. This part of the show will focus on the presence, contributions, research, and documentation of women and non binary artists at the forefront of work at the intersection of art, science, and technology, represented by guest museums
and institutions.
"DIVERSEartLA will be an examination and a compilation of material, as well as an exhibition featuring the work of women and nonbinary artists who have played a central role in the development of new media practices within art institutions and through history,” said Caichiolo.
                                                                     

(photo) The most unconventional and anticipated contribution to the section is Tiffany Trenda, a multidisciplinary performance artist, known for exploring the relationship of the female body using technologies in DIVERSEartLA. Her live performance is allowing each person to participate in real-time via volumetric video recording, using their own smart phones.


 DIVERSEartLA has the feel of exploring a museum, a museum that highlights and elevates
female and non-binary artists, examining science and technology through this lens. Continuing the theme of juxtaposing old and new, this fan-favorite section will expand upon previous years into new, more interactive and technological ground.

A number of organizations will showcase new programming
including the San Marcos Museum of Art (MASM) from Lima, Perú, which will bring a new media
project by Peruvian artist Angie Bonino.  
 "THE SYMPHONY OF NOW,” consists of a video installation,
and interactive sound installation focusing on the Andean techno de-colonial shamanism.
                                                                

"Museum La Neomudejar" from Madrid is bringing _DATA | ergo sum | RELOADED by artist Ana Marcos, is an interactive art installation that visualizes the capability of viewing machines using artificial intelligence to extract data by a simple observation of visitors.

Art Museum of the Americas (AMA) has joined with a special project curated by Fabian Goncálves,
 that will feature a compilation of material and an exhibition, that examines women and non-binary artists.
                                                                       
 The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center is bringing a special project curated
by Chon Noriega titled "Immersive Distancing" by LA-based artists Carmen Argote and Zeynep Abes,
which will examine recent media art produced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
                                                                    

Now~Art~LA and Building Bridges Art Exchange have joined forces as local
non-profit organizations to exhibit the work Agua by Luciana Abait, a video projection created as part of LUMINEX Project by Now~Art~LA. This work is inspired by the flood-myth motif that occurs in many cultures, in which water acts a healing and rebirth tool, often referencing ideas of creation, purification, and sustaining life.

                                                           

Ben Ashton at Arcadia Contemporary gallery

Women’s Voices Now, a Los Angeles-based non-profit that uses the power of film to drive positive social change that advances the rights of women will be bringing 12 films from 36 filmmakers to present.
                                                                              

Venezuelan artist Luis Cobelo (PILAR) will be participating in this year’s DIVERSEartLA section of the LA Art Show with a performance in conjunction with the Art Museum of the Americas. PILAR, a non binary project, follows the artist as PILAR. Cobelo is a photographer who studied philosophy at the University of Zulia, honing the craft between Venezuela and Spain.

 2021 will bring back LA Art Show’s favorite galleries,
including Arcadia Contemporary, Caldwell Snyder Gallery, Simard Bilodeau Contemporary, and
Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery from London for the lineup of Modern + Contemporary.
The art fair will once again have an international presence with the "Pigment Gallery" returning from Spain, "In The Gallery" returning from Denmark, and work from "Gallery KITAI" in Japan.

Citibank is returning with Virtual Gallerist Talks, a series of in-person and live-streaming events and
discussions highlighting some of the LA Art Show’s most popular galleries.
There will be both an in-person presence and a virtual experience, focusing on five selected galleries.
This series gives viewers an in-depth look at the curation of each show, with spirited dialogue about each piece.
