Tyler Green is a smart dude, I agree for free for collections access, especially here in LA where you probably have to pay to park to get to the museum in the first place!

New Coagula is out, and it sounds like a good one.
The late Dennis Hopper was an integral player in the American art world for half a century and his thespian personality was energized and informed by the boundless creative forces at play in the L.A. art world. In Coagula issue #103, publisher Mat Gleason pays tribute and offers his personal recollection on what made Dennis tick.
Coagula Issue #103 is packed with lots more: Gordy Grundy is riled up about drinking in this month’s GENUFLECT column. Alan Bamberger walks us through great strategies for artists to get a solo show in his TURNING PRO column. Victoria Barkley has a thing for Rosé Wines and DaVinci in her ART + WINE column. Jim Caron’s comics and Gerald Locklin’s LiterARTure poetry about art are featured as always.
Artist Ben Talbert is examined in detail by Matt Dukes Jordan, artist Lun*na Menoh’s solo show at Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica is previewed along with a pictorial survey of her edgy balance between art and high fashion. The dean of LowBrow art, Robert Williams is celebrated on the eve of the world premiere of a career-spanning documentary ROBERT WILLIAMS MISTER BITCHIN’ which premieres on June 16 at LACMA. And if all that were not enough, we have a feature review of William Wegman by Frank Charlie Woods and 32 (yes 32) L.A. reviews of galleries in Culver City and Chinatown.

Larry Johnson Untitled (Heh) 1987
There is a Larry Johnson show at the Hammer right now that I am just itching to see. Thursday it’s free! But since I leave town on Thursday it will have to be next Thursday. Very excited.
