Anything Can Happen at Any Second: Images, Imaginations and the American West
September 25, 2024 – March 25, 2025

Participating Artists: Nancy Baron, Matt Henry, Cynthia Johnston

“Organized at the Laemmle Theaters, an iconic Southern California location for film and film enthusiasts, the exhibition Anything Can Happen at Any Second: Images, Imaginations and the American West has pop culture in mind. It investigates ways in which vast landscapes are imagined and re-imagined by artists who might work at a great geographical distance from this locale, yet are in surprising proximity. These works exist in the unexpected gaps between concrete sites and popular culture, between the environment and the textured ways they come to define a worldview and a desire to belong and remain distant, all at once.

Taking its name from Rosencrans Baldwin’s 2021 book about Los Angeles, Everything Now, this exhibition considers the meeting points between fiction and reality, narrative and fragmentary visions, illusions, fantasies, and concrete presences, as these are revealed in how artists capture Americana and its presence in visual culture of the recent decades.”
