Marciano Foundation Los Angeles

Jim Shaw's The Wig Museum, described as "Jim Shaw: The Wig Museum highlights Shaw’s over thirty-year engagement with America’s social, political, and spiritual histories through the nation’s vernacular and fringe cultures. The Wig Museum is Jim Shaw’s first, long overdue, comprehensive solo exhibition in Los Angeles, home to the artist since the 1970s. The exhibition cuts across his entire body of work comprised of painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation."

Caspar! Many symbols of childhood in a magical stage set installation...

Second floor: Mary Weatherford

A beautiful wall painting installation on the mezzanine--I forget the artist's name--but the images were side by side, skewing perspectives as one walked past.



A view from the Mezzanine with Cindy Sherman below.

The Masonic Room - relics from the building's past use.


A meticulous renovation of a long-mysterious building on Wilshire--well remembered from childhood.





More from the Mezzanine wall installation.
