Doug Aitken

Yesterday I went up to see a few shows that are about to close in LA, including Doug Aitken's exhibition at Regen Projects. One of the most impressive shows I've seen in a while, it includes some new text-based light boxes and migration, a beautiful multi-media projection on a billboard installed in the gallery and on two exterior walls of the gallery on Santa Monica Boulevard every night from sunset to sunrise. Also, I finally had a chance to see Robert Frank's landmark The Americans at MOCA. Do not miss your chance to see both of these exhibitions!
