 "UNEASY ANGEL / IMAGINE LOS ANGELES, Artists from Los Angeles Addressing Intersections Between Reality and Fiction" is an exhibition opening tonight in at Monika Spruth Philomene Magers and Spruth Magers Projekte both in Munich, Germany. Artists such as Doug Aitken, John Baldessari and Barbara Kruger and shown along side the writers and filmmakers that are all living and working in L.A. The culture of L.A. as a city where the boundaries between reality and fiction are often blurred is explored in a variety of ways by each creator. As an artist in a city that is by hyperreal and to some degree post-historical, L.A has become a place of myth, where the entertainment and media industry can willingly shape and construct the city's own reality. The exhibitions are curated by Los Angeles-based Johannes Fricke-Waldthausen, and will be on view into the start of November.
