Per our recent Best of L.A. Arts issue story, this neighborhood is kind of popping right now, at least in terms of contemporary art galleries, and about half of them join the fray this Saturday night. Moskowitz Bayse presents haunting architectural sculptures by Anthony Miserendino; KP Projects opens a group show of painters obsessively in love with the palette; Shulamit Nazarian presents affecting and surreal works by painter Naudline Pierre; and Steve Turner Los Angeles opens three concurrent shows with Francisco Rodriguez (Santiago-born, London-based), Rebecca Shippee (New Haven) and Jon Key (New York). Jeffrey Deitch stages a survey of classic works by feminist icon Judy Chicago; Diane Rosenstein revisits the best of the ’80s with important works by Julian Stanczak; and Various Small Fires presents deconstructions of the gendered media landscape by painter Robin F. Williams.
