In conjunction with the Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA Participating Gallery Program, DXIX will present 6 Flags BBQ, a solo exhibition by Rubén Ortiz-Torres. Six flags of different countries were burned in a grill. The ashes were used as pigment to make a new painting/flag? A new black monochrome abstraction was born from the ashes of the different colorful designs that represent different nation states.In the upstairs space, DXIX is very pleased to present Reología, featuring new works of Javier Fresneda in his first solo show in Los Angeles area. Conceived as a work-specific intervention, Reología displays Mayan artifacts taken from archaeological sites in Mexico after enduring a long-term process of removal, subtraction and distribution as encapsulated powdered dust.
