Dear friends of LUMAS,
The myth of the metropolis inspires the work of many artists. No place is in such transition, so full of life and positive restlessness as the city. Everything is in motion, and nothing is ever complete. In the city, there is no time for inward reflection: you either jump in headfirst or keep your distance. There is no such thing as "just a little" metropolis.
In the exhibition Cross/Town, artists Larry Yust and Sabine Wild take up the challenge of the fast urban pace and show us in their works how individual the city’s influences and impressions can be.
OPENING RECEPTION September 24, 2009, 6-8 pm

MEET THE ARTIST!
Larry Yust will be present at the opening.
Los Angeles filmmaker and photographer Larry Yust's "Photographic Elevations" capture otherwise impossible perspectives of the city: his works are composed of anywhere from ten to one hundred individual images, which are finally carefully assembled into a single view.
Sabine Wild's works reveal a similarly fascinating but essentially different aesthetic. Her pieces are made up of pastose painterly gestures that focus energy into its horizontal and vertical structures. She elegantly deconstructs not only urban architecture but also landscapes and nature. With vertical movements of the camera, she works consciously and consistently with blurriness, which positively disrupts and unsettles our familiar view of well-known buildings and monuments.
