Jai & Jai

I began working in downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) at around ⁹⁄₁₁ 2011. It’s a terrible way to remember when I started working here, but it works.
I’ve always found something that I never knew about DTLA before: That DTLA has little districts… what the little districts are… the shortcuts… the blue bus… the little eateries… then the museums… then the theaters… then the clubs… then the shops that sell items that you didn’t think would sell retail… and wholesale…
Then DTLA started transforming… the historic buildings… the former historic buildings that got converted to residential buildings… and even old standbys like Chinatown started transforming too!
It has its own ArtsWalk… fancy furniture stores… artsy fartsy eateries…
… and now I find an art gallery, nestled between a vintage music store and a BBQ joint!
Currently, this gallery is showcasing 6 architects and artists that are, coincidentally, friends. Each are displaying their interpretation of RAW. So you will see a mixture of media and styles.
When I was there, Vincent Pocsik, one of the artist was there. His was the broken lamp displays. He’s definitely more profound than I am because he was trying to explain his work to me and the only thing I got was that in the process of creating something perfect (symmetrical, identical), there are mistakes, and individuality.
This particular show will not last long so come on down! Next month, the proprietor, Jaitip Srisomburananont, has put together something different.
