Farah Al Qasimi: Surge
François Ghebaly through June 18
Farah Al Qasimi takes the 1975 Japanese film version of “The Little Mermaid” as the premise for her Los Angeles debut Surge, spinning the fairytale classic into a contemporary tale to reveal how utterly depressing its modern-day equivalent would be.
Jesse Mockrin: Reliquary
Night Gallery through June 18
Reliquary is a tour de force of Jesse Mockrin’s exquisitely rendered oil paintings, which draw on Western canonical imagery to make the classical contemporary.
Restored / Access: Keko Jackson
Fulcrum Press through June 18
Few are familiar with the history of Allensworth, the first town in California to be founded, financed, and governed exclusively by Black people. This town is the subject of Restored / Access, a project by artist and archivist Keko Jackson.
