Carmichael Gallery is pleased to announce the closing reception for Instant LA Summer 2 : HEAVY HAPPY, a group exhibition curated by Esteban Schimpf and featuring works by emerging and mid-career artists Liz Craft, Sara Clendening, Chris Coy, Gerald Davis, Marc Horowitz, Pentti Monkkonen, Maha Saab, Sarah Sieradzki and Esteban Schimpf. An audacious encore to Instant LA Summer (2010), HEAVY HAPPY is unmoved by vitreous polyresin and recruits its louche participants from chop-shops, tunnels of love, talk show sets and haunted manors. HEAVY HAPPY is a congregation of sphinxes assembled from relics carried westward on dirty winds.
