O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict «
ry and peace, may the heav «n - rescued land Praise the Pow» r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Yet, while Made in L.A. appeared as diverse and sprawling as the city whose art it presented, it might also be argued that the bulk of the work on view extended four familiar (and familial) lineages of Los Angeles art that were well represented in «PST»: hard - edge abstraction (represented here in paintings by Brian Sharp and Alex Olson and painterly objects by Lisa Williamson and Brenna Youngblood), found - object assemblage (in the work of Liz Glynn,
Ry Rocklen, Henry Taylor, and Erika Vogt, among others), eclectic performance practices (including live pieces by Math Bass, Kenyatta A. C. Hinkle, and Ashley Hunt, as well as the collective Slanguage's array of community - based works at LAXART), and film and video projects that pointed, more or less, to the looming shadow of Hollywood (e.g., Miljohn Ruperto's Seven and Five, 2012, which includes multiple remakes of a 1961 episode of the TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Dan Finsel's The Space
Between You and Me, 2012, for which the artist restaged Farrah Fawcett and Keith Edmier's decade - old roll in the clay).
