Opening reception Friday May, 10th from 7-10 pm ~~~ with VIRTUAL PHONE TOURS starting May, 4th from 4-7pm! (see call in info below) Show runs until June 21st.
Over the past couple decades, the mobile phone has developed from having one basic use to having many, seemingly limitless, and customizable functions. Today’s “smart phone” grants people many possibilities for using their device in unconventional ways— from tracking ones sleep patterns to making painterly compositions.
For the inaugural show, artist Hana Weiss and Chadwick Gibson will be displaying various works created using different apps and functions of the iPhone. Weiss’s paintings are the product of extensive experimentation, often involving three or four apps to create a single image. Gibson’s work focuses on the iPhone’s user interface, manipulating familiar functions into compositions, that highlight the smart phone’s evolving forms of communication.
For the week prior to the official exhibition opening, Gibson will be giving virtual phone tours using his iPhone, via FaceTime or Skype app. For a tour please FaceTime the gallery at 213-840-9681 or phone Skype smartobjectsla during the hours listed below.

Over the past fifteen years Google has grown to become a ubiquitous omniscient entity, which has peered into almost every aspect of our public and private lives. It has documented everything from vast stretches of the earth’s terrain to the most personal emails. The word “Google” suggests a possible answer to almost every imaginable question. Google acts as both all-seeing God and prying Big Brother, a vast repository of objective fact and personal revelation.
