Professor Annetta Kapon gave Deborah Cohen’s UCLA Osher class a wonderful lecture on her daily collages and her Proxy Gallery. Beforehand I watched her videos on a Hungarian citing famous Hungarians, on the German Language, and on the Line between Beverly Hills and Los Angeles—one side of the road was new asphalt, the Beverly Hills side, and the other side of the road was full of pot holes, the Los Angeles side. She is very quirky and serious too. A book of her collages is available from blurb.com.

Her Proxy Gallery is an Ikea small wooden box, famous artists put on a show, she has an opening and she sells the work! This reminded me of Edmund de Waal’s rows of pottery. A student mentioned Joseph Cornell and Annetta Kapon really admires his work.

I wish that I had seen the exhibit White: a project by Edmund de Waal at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, 26 September 2015 to 3 January 2016.
