Title: East of Eden
Description: Silver Lake Gallery Alliance announces East of Eden, the first annual Multi-gallery exhibition celebrating the contributions of Eastside galleries September 19-21, 2008 at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery (LAMAG) 4800 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles 90027. www.edenexhibition.com For immediate release: Los Angeles – The exhibition will focus on contributions of Los Angeles galleries, the cultures from which they draw inspiration and the Eastside of LA as an important source for contemporary art. The event is free to the public and will be a unique opportunity for patrons, collectors and the public to view and purchase exemplary new works by emerging and established artists who are indicative of the significant contemporary art being fostered in this region. While there is no over arching critical doctrine that unites them philosophically, all the participating galleries are representative of a new generation of determining art culture and share in an inherent formative energy that has resulted in a significant strain of art in Los Angeles. Exhibition organizer Zara Zeitountsian notes: “We are really looking forward to this exhibition because for the first time the public is going to experience in a central location the range of art being shown here. Because there is no central hub, the public doesn’t normally have the opportunity to see the big picture of what’s going on in the area. I think people will be surprised by the scope of the work. I predict it’s going to be a major event that will have historical implications for the future of Los Angeles art and how the East Side is perceived.”
