Social Spaces, Part I

Entrance wall, A402

Time to do some posting catch-up. Today and tomorrow: some installation shots, with commentary, critiques, and feedback to follow.

Northwest corner of gallery: pinhole images

Mounted on board with the backs painted pink, I was hoping for a slight 'glow' around the images.
Detail: XXX Adult Movies (the old Regent Theater on Main St.)

Alan Sekula liked the off-center images; he was also the only one who pulled the correct term out of his lexicon: the iris fade.

Detail: Pussycat Theater (now a Walgreens)
There were a few people who remembered the old corner of Western and Sunset.

Detail: Le Sex Shoppe #8 (now a strip mall parking lot in Bell Gardens)

Oddly, the location of the old adult book store was now a narrow landscaped strip dedicated to the children of Bell Gardens.
