By Eve Wood

                                                       Vanessa Conte, My Mycena, 2016

    The idea of a failed utopia is certainly nothing new as those of us who live in any bustling city like
    Los Angeles will tell you, but the way in which this failure is understood can, and must be, redefined
    according to the state of disintegration we have become accustomed to. “Grind,” a group exhibition
    curated by Joshua Nathanson at Various Small Fires is an energetic, if not somewhat haptic take on the
    age-old theme of the city as its own crumbling ecosystem of smog and hopelessness amidst stunning
    skyscraper views. Spanning a variety of materials from Vanessa Conte’s beautiful and elegant acrylic on
    canvas works to Asha Schechter’s oddly idiosyncratic inkjet prints on adhesive vinyl of everyday objects
    like light bulbs and rotten persimmons, the works in this exhibition are all of a piece, and leaves one
    wondering if our all too digital future might very well consume us completely.

photographer­dealer formerly of New York whose large color close­ups
of horses are represented here. The show is probably less a snapshot of
the Los Angeles scene than of the ecumenical tastes of its organizers:
Laura Owens, an established painter who decided against including her
own work in the show, and Peter Harkawik, a younger sort­of painter
who favors decals on clear vinyl at Gavin Brown (and who has his New
York solo debut at Knowmoregames, a gallery in Carroll Gardens,
Brooklyn, through Aug. 30).

The younger set gets solid backup at both galleries from older artists
like Rebecca Morris and David Korty (both especially impressive),
Derek Boshier, Jim Isermann, Jorge Pardo, Allen Ruppersberg and
Peter Shire, a well­known ceramist­sculptor and founding member of
the design group Memphis, whose Memphis­y bench­sculpture
brightens the entrance at Gavin Brown.

But it is mostly works by artists in their 30s with little or no New York
exposure that steal the show. These include Laeh Glenn’s small, quirky
paintings; Patrick Jackson’s handsome bucket­size ceramic cups; John
Seal’s stylistically varied paintings (as well as Aaron Wrinkle’s); and a
charcoal rubbing on canvas by Joshua Callaghan of a Ford Focus. The
efforts of Vanessa Conte, Lucas Blalock, Gabrielle Ferrer, Josh Mannis
and Max Maslansky also reward attention. Still, the show’s surprises
are not all from the young. Marcia Hafif, the New York abstract painter
who now divides her time between the coasts, is the oldest artist here,
and she weighs in with an anomalous work: a wall­size handwritten
text about women, aging and sexuality that makes its presence felt.

Correction: August 3, 2013
An art review on Friday about “Made in Space,” at the Venus Over
Manhattan gallery and Gavin Brown’s Enterprise in Manhattan, misstated
the given name of one artist in the show and misspelled the given name of
another. They are Josh Mannis, not John, and Laeh Glenn, not Leah. The
review also omitted a co­owner of Night Gallery in Los Angeles, where the
show was first seen. Besides Davida Nemeroff, the gallery is run by Mieke
Marple.
