Niche.LA presents Wireless
Niche.LA presents “Wireless”
new work by Rex Bruce
LOS ANGELES, CA – In his new series, “Wireless,” Los Angeles artist Rex Bruce presents images and videos taken with a cell phone camera where the subject is the “air” in which mobile communications are transmitted. Within abject looking sky-scapes, tops of golden arches, street lamps, vernacular decoration and architecture jut upward into the frame. Often included are telephone poles and slack wires strung between them, an ironic choice considering the instrument with which they were photographed.

Niche.LA presents Cell-Outs & Phonies
“Cell-Outs & Phonies”
curated by Laura Merians
“I prowled the streets all day, feeling very strung up and ready to pounce, determined to ‘trap’ life – to preserve life in the act of living. Above all, I craved to seize the whole essence, in the confines of one single photograph, of some situation that was in the process of unrolling itself before my eyes.” – Henri Cartier-Bresson

Investors to Give Rundown Movie House a New Plot Twist
Of course, we know how the story ends. It’s interesting now, reflecting in 2011 something I did back in 2005. The plot twist thickens further when these very investors screw over the very people that made it happen in the first place.
No regrets.
