Cruisin' with Magu

ANDLAB in association with the Ministry of Culture presents: Cruisin' with Magu, a cross cultural artistic exploration between one of the founding artists of the Chicano Art Movement, Gilbert"Magu" Lujan, and a group of local Korean-American youth artists. A reception for the artists and their new work will be held on Saturday, September 1 Sth,6:00-8:00 pm, at the ANDLAB, located in the Brewery Arts Complex at 600 Moulton Avenue #303, Los Angeles, CA 90031. Free admission and parking. The exhibit will run through October 27, 2007.

Designed as part of ANDLAB's education program, Cruisin'with Magu brought together a group of Korean-American youth who spent three months utilizing Magu's color palette as a point of departure.These young artists ventured into Chicano art forms and context, adding their own sense of creativity and cultural information.The resulting work is two mural size canvases that are startling renditions of contemporary vision and ancient tradition, which reflect many facets of living in a pluralistic, transnational and multi-culturally modern Los Angeles.
