Last week I had a chance to hit a few galleries in Los Angeles' Chinatown. There's a bunch of them on Chung King Road in what used to be a bunch of souvenir shops but have recently been renovated into a hipster gallery scene. I spent most of time at
Charlie James Gallery and
Jancar Gallery.

| "Sometimes I Forget to Remember to Fear Hope" by Jennifer Dalton at Charlie James |

| "Paradox Party Favors" by Jennifer Dalton |

There's a PDF catalog of Jennifer Dalton's work
here – the show is called "On a Scale From Not Really OK to Really Not OK."

A shot from Richard Newton's installation "La Gruta Azul" (The Blue Grotto) at Jancar;
one wanders through an environment made of strung together bottles and cans. |
