Artists, not objects, take center stage at The Brick

How To LA

#305:

What's the deal with the new mural on Western Avenue? A man holding a flowerpot crawling out of the sky?

That's performance artist Pope L., inviting folks into the new, permanent home of the non-profit formerly known as LAX Art. They've rebranded as The Brick, and their new brick and mortar gallery and exhibition space is formally opening in September.

How To LA host Brian de los Santos spoke with artistic director Hamza Walker, and artists in the 3B Collective, to get the scoop on what this space means for contemporary art in L.A.
