The Cityscape Show XI
July 31 - August 28, 2021
July 31 - August 28, 2021
For the last eleven years, GBGLA has hosted The Cityscape Show every summer - the theme has been broad and covered a wide ranging group of artists and works. It is a show we’ve taken great joy in putting together and sharing.
Life as we know it has changed dramatically and, perhaps in some ways, permanently in the last year. What remains unchanged is this astounding city we live in. Made of concrete and steel and asphalt, filling again with the activity of people going about their lives, this city and landscape anchor us. The long low skyline remains, the mountains ringing the LA basin stand, the ocean tides come and go, that enormous sky holds steady. And in the midst of it all, the strange and beautiful metropolis of Los Angeles exists as a place and as a dream.
Los Angeles has always been a fantasy as much as a physical location.
And now we are all watching and waiting as the soul of Los Angeles we know and love begins to return in all its complexity. But the physical city has remained - waiting - holding its spaces for us to return to.
