Our buddy Tisch from the painfully entertaining Ah Hole Ah Hole tells us this opening tonight is going to be the bomb:
PLAySPACE is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Matt Connolly. For BASS TOME, Connolly exhibits a selection of drawings, paintings, and sculptures in addition to a stripped-down sound work. His large-scale, meticulously attended pen drawings read like incredibly rendered textiles—many of the works demonstrate the artist’s interest in formally strict geometries, physicality and movement, text, pattern and, perhaps above all, repetition. Connolly’s process and his practice are both extremely disciplined: the artist is concerned not with the outcome, but rather with the flurry of activity that builds towards the attainment of the composition, irregularities and all. Connolly believes in the transformative capacity of work, which is evidenced in these fastidiously crafted pieces.
Reception starts in 20 minutes! 6-8pm.
