It's her attitude that makes Frances Stark's new show at Marc Foxx Gallery so good. The work looks hip in a slacker sort of way – found images and signage nonchalantly assembled on geometric surfaces, a graffiti-like red circle that strays off a canvas onto the gallery wall, iPhone jokes. But you never feel that Stark is actually trying to be hip. Instead, it just seems that she doesn't care too much about polish, because she's too busy grappling with how all the things that interest her and bother her relate to one another. How do you pay tribute to a brilliant friend who killed himself without romanticizing him? How can you be completely yourself in a text message? How can you include your kid in your art while respecting his individuality? 6150 Wilshire Blvd.; through June 28. (323) 857-5571, marcfoxx.com.
