BRUCE NAUMAN – PASADENA YEARS

Posted on 2025-02-10

Bruce Nauman: Pasadena Years is a historical reflection on the prolific decade that established one of the most important contemporary artists of our time. The exhibition emphasizes the radical foundation of Nauman’s practice while he lived in Los Angeles between 1969-1979. Across the entire gallery and garden, works on view will include sculptures, installations, sound works, videos, works on paper, and editions. Pasadena Years notably marks Nauman’s first exhibition in Los Angeles in over 30 years and will include a text for a room that the artist is recreating for the first time since its debut at the earliest retrospective of his work, which originated at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1972.

Opposite – Performance Corridor, 1969

Exhibition runs through to May 3rd, 2025

HOLOGRAM TEEN – ACTARUS

Posted on 2025-02-10

Morgane Lhote continues to honour her foundational years in the glitz and glamour of 80s Paris’s bustling underground nightlife as Hologram Teen, inaugurating her very own label Hologram Opera (which she runs with Holy Sun Opera House) with her fourth album Captain Fluo. Punchy drum machine beats and piano stabs strut along to the album’s metropolitan tone, breezy in a joyous montage on tracks like ‘Actarus’ as strings blossom in. Her influences shine on ‘Wolkman’, centring her keyboard performance with punctuated and staccato synthpop, meanwhile ‘Pack Ur Patience’ features a deep house inflected four to the line driving Sandra Zettpunkt’s steely vocal hooks.

From the album Captain Fluo.

The Gallery at Leica Store San Francisco is proud to present The First Years by Bay Area artist Josh Smith. This ongoing series explores family and how its structure shapes identity. Rooted in personal experience, Smith uses photography to navigate the complexities of parenthood—balancing presence with individuality. His images create an open space for viewers to reflect on their own histories. The First Years serves as an attempt to hold onto what cannot be preserved. Acting as both a personal archive and a poetic interpretation, these images capture fleeting moments, offering a connection to the intangible emotions of family life.

ELIAS SIME – THROUGH THE WINDOW

Posted on 2025-02-03

The title Through The Window speaks to both literal and metaphorical apertures—portals that frame perception, whether through architecture or digital screens. His layered, textured surfaces recall aerial landscapes, circuit pathways, and organic topographies, offering a meditation on interconnectedness and the materials that shape our digital world.

Sime’s method is notably hands-on and meticulous, involving an almost alchemical reworking of materials, where each component is carefully selected, manipulated, and reassembled to create intricate networks that evoke emotions. At first glance, they give the impression of maps, topographies, and even urban grids. This attention to detail not only results in visually arresting pieces but also challenges viewers to reconsider the value and potential of the limitless possibilities of human imagination. By turning everyday industrial remnants into art, he interrogates the relentless pace of technological progress and its environmental ramifications, highlighting how precious minerals are extracted from the earth to fuel its development

QUICKLY, QUICKLY – I PUNCHED THROUGH THE WALL

Posted on 2025-02-03

Graham Jonson is drawn to the comforts of melody and noise. How the two conspire in tension, tonally and atonally, stirring up memory and mood. This quality animates the technicolor world of quickly, quickly, the psych-pop project that emanates from Kenton Sound, his basement studio in Portland, Oregon. “Everywhere your eye lands, there’s another curio to marvel over,” noted Pitchfork’s Philip Sherburne when he visited Jonson’s recording space for a Rising feature just after the release of his “strikingly original” 2021 debut LP, The Long and Short of It. Since then, Jonson formed alive band, released his Easy Listening EP in 2023,and navigated the up-and-downs of a young musician, the sustainability of tours and relationships.

“I Punched Through The Wall” by quickly, quickly from ‘I Heard That Noise’, out now on Ghostly International.
