Disparate Alleys

DISPARATE ALLEYS

February 23 to March 20, 2023

Gallery70 is proud to present for the first time in Albania a group exhibition with: Carlos Beltran Arechiga , Sijia Chen,  Ismael de Anda III, Jenny Hager, Curtis Stage

DISPARATE ALLEYS assembles a team of artists from the Los Angeles based artist collective Durden and Ray. As a city where all the world’s cultures convene, Disparate Alleys highlights a distinguishing feature of the city of Los Angeles. Different from other large cities, it is not necessarily organized on a grid, with a multitude of sprawling connective neighborhoods containing a myriad of pockets of artists whose work taps into rich arrays of cultures and the locative/ dis-locative and nomadic gatherings of the Los Angeles Metroplex and it’s surrounding areas. Durden and Ray’s participating artists for Disparate Alleys originally hail from Mexico, China, Texas, Michigan, and Minnesota, now living and working in Los Angeles with a diverse range of practices that incorporate influences of collage, hybridity, architecture, and movement of peoples, gleaned from traversing, immersing in, and absorbing L.A. The work of these artists travels to be transposed to Albania, to intersect within the neighborhood of Gallery 70. As an artistic exchange, artists of Gallery 70 will exhibit their work at Durden and Ray in downtown Los Angeles in 2024.
