LITTLE DREAM
October 1st, 2009
New works by Vanessa Prager & Lizzy Waronker
(Los Angeles)-WeSC’s ongoing Weactivst series, Great Things Together, will unfold it’s 4th event, October 1, 2009, at the WeSC concept and US flagship store, on Robertson Blvd. and you are invited to attend!
Little Dream, a dual artist installation and exhibition, featuring the art of Weactivst Vanessa Prager and Lizzy Waronker, is an “extremely temporary experience”, existing one night only, in a reverse environment created by the artists.
Little Dream, will invite guests, for one night only, to immerse themselves in an inside-out world of art and make-believe, entering an outdoor terrarium, conceptualized and installed by Prager and Waronker. The largely paper mache installation- inspired by Prager’s dream life and Waronker’s childhood wanderings-is the third event hosted at WeSC Robertson location. Join the artists in their magical ephemeral forest that envelopes paintings by Prager and assemblage sculpture by Waronker in an otherworldly, interactive, landscape.
Vanessa Prager: Prager’s new series draws inspiration from her grandmother’s old family photographs. Combined with her obsession for vivid colors, stark lighting, and surrealistic object placement, the sugar-coated reality is shown to have a dark and eerie side to it. The resulting images seem to be a collision of nature, “modern living” and a world seen through rainbow-colored glasses.
Lizzy Waronker: Waronker’s work is shaped by her childhood which she spent exploring the secret passageways and hidden rooms of her family’s rambling New England home. It was here - amongst the taxidermy, the memento mori, and the ancestral artifacts - that she first understood the power object has on imagination and, accordingly, reality. Her assemblages use vestiges of this past in combination with the new, the found, and the broken, to invent a magical world where realities are altered, hidden truths are revealed, wounds are healed, and the course of the future is re-aligned.
Little Dream will feature music by DJ Chris Holmes as well as drinks and snacks provided by, Asahi Beer, and Whole Foods Beverly Hills.
