18th Street Arts Center presents Collaboration Labs: Southern California Artists and the Artist Space Movement, its contribution to the Getty Foundation’s initiative, Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA1945-1980. Guest-curated by Alex Donis and featuring the works of five seminal artists and artist groups: Rachel Rosenthal, Barbara T. Smith, Suzanne Lacy/Leslie Labowitz-Starus, Sherrie Rabinowitz and Kit Galloway (Electronic Café International) and EZTV, Collaboration Labs demonstrates that much of the Los Angeles time-based work in the 1970s grew out of and fed into the California artist space movement, which increasingly shaped the landscape of post-war LA art. This exhibition is on view through March 16, 2012.
