Artists Brody Albert and Nathaniel Klein will open a new exhibition, "A, B, C, D" at Best Practice on July 9, with a reception from 5-8 p.m. Albert is based in Los Angeles; Klein is based in San Diego and Denver. They use object-based sculpture, assemblage, multimedia, performance and installation work. More information from the gallery: Brody Albert’s meticulously produced sculptures translate pedestrian objects to platonic ideals. For this exhibition, Brody took two objects (scare-owls and cardboard boxes), reproduced them in shifting scales and hues, and arranged them to make a series of visual koans. Nathaniel Klein’s video work eschews editing in favor of choreographed movements in and between frames. For this exhibition, Nathaniel made five videos composed of objects collected from 99¢ stores, sorted by color, and arranged into interrelated, evolving still lifes. Brody is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles, California. Nathaniel is an artist and educator recently relocated to Denver, Colorado. Working collaboratively as OH since 2014, Brody and Nathaniel design and publish small-run Risograph and screen-printed publications, and occasionally curate.
