Honor Fraser
Saturday, September 27 | 2 pm

Los Angeles, California 90034
Alexandra Grant is known for large-scale works that explore and blur the boundaries between images and words. Inspired by philosophic, literary, and visual sources, Grant’s drawing/paintings, sculpture, and video present large, rhizomesque text-scapes. The series of drawing/paintings in A.D.D.G. (aux dehors des guillemets ) takes as its point of departure six “Portals,” or sutras—meditations on the five senses and the mind. Written for her purposes by writer and collaborator Michael Joyce, the texts inform Grant’s painting in unpredictable ways. She works through a series using an unusual methodology whereby she creates visual rules about color and motifs and then breaks them, moving seamlessly between reasoned and intuitive decisions.
Join Muse as we are treated to a private tour and discussion led by the artist, Alexandra Grant. Admission is free to Muse members and a guest. To RSVP, email musersvp@lacma.org with "Honor Fraser Tour" in the subject line. Space is limited so please RSVP early.
