“When I started using a computer, I initially thought about it as a surrogate darkroom… it took me some years to really understand that it’s a tool in its own terms” - Lucas Blalock describes his practice using both traditional and digital techniques to create uncanny and surreal images of ordinary things. ‘An Enormous Oar’ @theicala is the Brooklyn-based artist’s first solo museum exhibition and presents over twenty works produced in the last five years that focus on #stilllife, domestic scenes and portraits. Discover Blalock’s use of #photoshop, #photography as #sculpture as well as several nods to #LosAngeles artists in ‘An Enormous Oar’ on view through July 21 - admission FREE | #lucasblalock #icala

“Following along the longest aqueduct in the world built in China, I peed every time I came upon it” - recounts Patty Chang as she travelled towards Denzhou from Xianghua. The artist stored the plastic water bottles after filling them and marked them with the corresponding time and place - enroute her driver asked if the bottles were filled with ice tea. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project was relocating farmers to make way for the aqueduct as well as imminent industrialisation. Chang later redesigned the plastic water bottles into urinary devices and had the designs hand-blown in borosilicate glass. 32 glass bottles are on show in ‘The Wandering Lake, 2009-2017’ @theicala. Visit the museum Wed-Fri, 11am-7pm + Sat-Sun, 11am-6pm in downtown #LosAngeles - admission is always FREE | #pattychang #icala
