The Linda Lea Sequel
The Linda Lea Sequel
Rundown Theater to Be Recast as One-Screen Specialty Cinema
I know this is juvenile, but really – this woman royally screwed us and there’s nothing we could do about it because she has $66MM in the bank. I take consolation in the fact I’m not lazy like her only son. He’s utterly worthless.
I count it as a learning lesson. Don’t get in bed with the devil unless you’re ready to get screwed.
I have every email saved, every bit of correspondence saved, everything… she screwed us, plain and simple. We got nothing for 5 years work doing everything possible to renovate the Linda Lea into a state-of-the-art single screen. Oh well…
No regrets.

NICHE.LA PRESENTS 04/05/06
new work by Retna and Michael Allen
curated by Marcela Garate
LOS ANGELES, CA – On September 14, 2006 (12:00 – 9:00PM), Niche.LA presents “04/05/06,” curated by Marcela Garate, featuring digital artist Retna and video artist Michael Allen.
Los Angeles based artist Retna removes corporate advertisements of women from illuminated signs and embellishes them in a style that not only recalls Mayan and Egyptian hieroglyphs but even the aesthetic heights of Byzantium with its mosaic tiling of Christ and other deities. In one work, the well-known and ill-fated singer, Aaliyah, gazes upwards while color explodes like jeweled fragments around her. Retna’s intervention in these advertisements elevates the perception of the mostly anonymous females – fodder for representing desire and selling other objects – to a form of idolatry.
