Take a road trip with the Los Angeles-based artist for “Crash with Alexandra Metcalf,” a solo show staged in a blue Toyota Prius.
This past Frieze Los Angeles weekend, I hosted “Crash with Alexandra Metcalf,” a solo exhibition located in the interior of my blue Toyota Prius. “Crash” is the newest iteration of my curatorial project From the Desk of Lucy Bull, which started solely as a table-top exhibition space but has since expanded to more transitory venues—this time with a new set of wheels.
Over the course of Friday and Saturday, I mapped out a total of eight stops around Los Angeles, highlighting certain favorites of the art scene: spaces that could easily be missed amidst the overblown opulence that comes to town with the art fair. For the occasion, New York-based artist Alexandra Metcalf created an elegant chandelier composed of stained-glass miniatures, skeletal lost wax carvings, lead-fired portraits and a table’s worth of illuminated teacups and saucers. Take the road trip below.
