The Art of L.A.

The Art of L.A.

Los Angeles was always thought of as a film town, or a TV town, or a music town. But never as an art town.

Well, as the saying goes, never say never.

According to a recent article in the New York Times, that’s exactly what L.A. is becoming.

To quote Julia Chaplin’s recent article: ”In the last two years, more than 24 galleries have moved into the warehouses and decommissioned factories in downtown Los Angeles on either side of the desiccated Los Angeles River, including the Arts District and neighboring Boyle Heights, offering a new party destination for the city’s thriving art scene.”

Bowie: Farewell to the Ch-ch-ch Changes

During my time as a freelance journalist there were three interviews that got away, one was with Bob Dylan, the other with the writer Henry Miller and the third with David Bowie. Although I was intrigued by the thought of interviewing Dylan, he was notorious for toying with interviewers. You knew you were going into a mind field and chances of coming out with more than an interesting experience were slim. That said, Henry Miller and Bowie were the interviews I regretted losing the most.
