February’s showcase on Saturday (Feb. 10) and Sunday (Feb. 11) featured the trifecta of Cooper, the widely-exhibited master of capturing light through cubes Larry Bell, and clockmaster Johnny MacArthur.
In the main center of Cooper’s Garage, Larry Bell exhibited his famous colorful cubes within colorful cubes, gorgeous pieces of geometry, light and incredibly thin films of diverse metallic and non-metallic substances deposited onto glass surfaces. The cubes are objects you can stare at and continually find something
new. His work has appeared far and wide from the Tate Gallery to the Guggenheim and as far as the Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas, Venezuela.
With Del Maguey as his art project for the past 30 years, Cooper takes you through an interesting mezcal journey. It is not enough to look at his large photographs of gourds and monkey sculptures known as “monos,” you also have to read the accompanying literature written by Cooper. Therein you’ll find the strides which artisanal mezcal has made into the public sphere since
Cooper first encountered this old world spirit.
“There weren’t any formal mezcal bottles for these farmer-made Mezcals, so you’d come away with a water bottle, a plastic water bottle, an empty Pedro Domecq brandy bottle or an empty rum bottle filled with mezcal,” writes Cooper.
One of the photographs in his exhibition is that of a repurposed coke bottle with the necessary importer’s information and a slappedon surgeon general warning label required for alcoholic beverages.
