Dualities

Dualities is a five artists project curated by Janet Levy for Arts Brookfield at the Bank of America Plaza in Downtown Los Angeles. The projects are presented concurrently, one project per month, during May 14 –October 19 cumulating on September 3 with all five projects on view. The selection of the works is drawn from the theory of opposites.  Naturally occurring phenomena are grouped into complementary pairs.  Above and below, earth and sky, dark and light, fluid and solid each piece chosen contains a balance between two interdependent forces. 

Taking into consideration the spacial dynamics of the Bank of America building, curator Janet Levy carefully selected the works to connect the multi levels, Parking level A, concourse and plaza as well as the outdoor stairwell. Each area was then matched with an artist and project: 

Project I, Karen Lofgren’s “Gold Flood",   Project 2, Matthew Greene “Come Together”, Project 3, Simmons & Burke “Clouds Wallpaper”  Project 4,  Diana Thater “OZ”, Project 5, Ryan Perez “The Escalator to Nowhere.”
