Marcus Civin is proud to host an exhibition by galería perdida,you dream of better things, a new project at the Prop Shop, Civin's studio in MacArthur Park, Los Angeles.
The exhibition consists of a series of choreographed non-linear slide projections which interweave apparitions of a proposed utopian community with narrative fragments of a fictional woman's journey through displacement, industry, and luxury. In the mid-1960's, this imagined community was designed to be incomplete, always testing and showcasing new technologies. This beacon of a better-organized-tomorrow, living simplified by technology, forever improving, perfection just out of reach, remains a stirring counterpoint, fiction, and anathema to everyday reality; it represents a significant historical attempt to technologically enhance routines, and demonstrates a philosophical impediment to the human ability to imagine and actualize positive futures immediately.
you dream of better things will be accompanied by a limited edition broadsheet with essays by Marcus Civin and Betsy Seder. This September, join us in MacArthur Park, grab a cold drink from the fridge at the Prop Shop, and stay for a while.
September 4, 6-9pm.
The Prop Shop, 1725 West 6th Street, #403, Los Angeles, CA 90017

It is rumored that the exposed rebar on the roofs of homes will circumvent the necessity to pay for housing taxes. The rebar, as it is, signifies the incompletion of building, allowing the owners to claim that taxes may not be enforced if the home is unfinished. As such, millions of citizens live in homes yet to be completed. galería perdida is proud to present, Underlying Structures, an exhibition by Jeff Williams. Reception to be held on July 28, 2010. 6-10pm, all are welcome.
