The Annenberg Space for Photography’s opening exhibit, L8S ANG3LES, is a group show of eight Los Angeles-based photographers in the genres of fine art, architecture, documentary, fashion, photojournalism and celebrity portraits. The show features the work of John Baldessari, Catherine Opie, Greg Gorman, Douglas Kirkland, Tim Street-Porter, Julius Shulman, Lauren Greenfield and Carolyn Cole. All based in Los Angeles, these artists work in the city in which the Foundation has expanded its philanthropy in recent years. The exhibit also includes work from three staff photographers at the Los Angeles Times; Lawrence Ho, Kirk McKoy and Genaro Molina. Anne Wilkes Tucker, renowned photography curator from the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, has served as a Special Advisor for this inaugural exhibit.
In addition, a broad range of digital programming enables visitors to have different daily experiences with multiple visits. Simultaneously, videos of photographers discussing their work offers guests the often rare opportunity to hear directly from the artists. Workshops, lectures and discussions featuring artists are a prominent part of the ongoing programming. Educational opportunities will be created for adults, children and teens. Guests of the Photography Space have access to Century Park and its restaurants within steps from the Photography Space doors.
