HOLLYWOOD DREAM BUBBLE: Ed Ruscha's Influence in Los Angeles and Beyond Opening Tonight in Los Angeles!

GALLUCCI TULL & THE HOLE invite you to join us TONIGHT in LOS ANGELES!

Saturday April 27, 2024 from 6-8pm for the opening reception of HOLLYWOOD DREAM BUBBLE:
Ed Ruscha’s Influence in Los Angeles and Beyond, Organized by Jessica Gallucci and Dani Tull

April 27–June 8, 2024
The Hole
844 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles

Ed Ruscha has occupied many roles in the broad cultural consciousness—foil to the New York–based Ab-Ex movement, member of Ferus Gallery’s “cool school,” standard-bearer for Southern California and renderer of funny and oracular words in his Boy Scout Utility Modern font—but among artists, particularly in Los Angeles, he is known for his steadfast support of the scene. He shows up at openings: he collaborates, he collects and he donates. Hamilton Press, the Venice fine art printing company he co-founded, invites emerging artists to produce editions.

It is natural then that the exhibition began with a conversation between these LA-based curators and an LA artist and longtime Ruscha admirer in their circle. Quick and rhizomatically, a network of Ed-affiliated friends and collaborators opened up into a major group of artists across the country who have been influenced by Ruscha. With more than seventy artists, this is not a “tightly curated” exhibition: neither could it possibly be a comprehensive one. It is more a celebration of the great artist’s reach and his impact among American artists across generations: two and a half miles away from Ruscha’s LACMA retrospective, the conversation continues.
