"The House That Sam Built: Sam Maloof and Art in the Pomona Valley, 1945-1985" Pacific Standard Time

The exhibit at the Huntington Library's Boone Gallery "showcases classic examples 
of the work of Sam Maloof (1916-2009), a nationally recognized leader of the 
American studio craft movement -- a movement that favored 
the aesthetics of the handmade over the machine and mass-produced." 

The exhibit is extremely well done and Maloof pieces are very appealing.
The style has been popularized and mass-produced but those
 pieces do not come close to the beauty of the handcrafted originals.

For you locals, the exhibit runs through tomorrow, so you can still rush out to see it.

Watercolors by Maloof and others, memorabilia, and even a painting by Millard Sheets is also on display. 

To Infinity (in Art) and Beyond in "Pacific Standard Time"

As promised, here are bits of the exhibit "Everyman's Infinte Art" at Chapman Collage by Harold Gregor, a repeat of the installation in 1966. In 1966, no one saw the art since the campus was closed for winter break. But the instructions and materials list (which appeals to the engineer in me) were available, so that EVERYMAN can recreate it at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE and the possibilities to arrange ensembles that "suggest an infinite continuum" are INFINITE.

I agree that this isn't EVERYMAN's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed the stacked stryrofoam cups, the line of overlapping black sheets of construction paper... and my absolute favorite: the shinny rings of joined vent pipe elbows.
