World According to Xavier @ Acme Gallery
opening this weekend....
Carlee Fernandez, one of Los Angeles' more accomplished heartfelt conceptual artist is opening this weekend at a new space for her, ACME, with a new body of work called "The World According to Xavier."
Previous shows, "Man" and "Bear Studies" left a permanent impact on my visual and emotional psyche. "Bear Studies", which came out around the same time as the Herzog's masterpiece "Grizzly Man," was a statement on beauty, and our reserved desires to become one with nature, the world, and our immediate surroundings. The work still haunts me, in the best possible way. For her ACME debut, expect taxidermy, coral, minerals, string, copper, birds, and large scale photographs detailing a life with Xavier.
