Another awe inspiring day of art intake. ACE Gallery has two locations, one in LA, one just down the street in Beverly Hills, and both have incredible, museum quality, exhibits right now.

Most impressive was Lauren Bon’s installation on the mythological connection between bees and meat. It is the most sense-stimulating art experience I have ever had. Its beauty is in the subtle transitions of smells and visual tactileness as you move between rooms of corn, cotton, and honey. In one room there is a glass case housing two large live bee colonies hanging from an orange tree branch. The bees come and go through short pipes to the outdoors. The form of the beeswax – its folds and ribs – blew my mind. I had no idea how complex they are. The way its structure is so uniquely formed to its environment and the creative ingenuity of its creators. And all the complex roles and relationships of each bee. Amazing! I could have watched them work for days.

The other gallery has the well matched work of Judy Fox and Martin Schoeller. Feminine creatures of sex as vulnerability paired with photographs of woman with masculine form. Both works are done with amazing execution and detail. This image by Judy Fox is titled Lust.
