Tacita Dean @ Frith Street Gallery

LA Exuberance, is a collection of new works related to Tacita Dean’s time spent in Los Angeles, which is being shown alongside her recent, highly-acclaimed 2015 film Event for a Stage.
LA Exuberance is the title Dean gave to a new set of lithographs she made with print publishers Gemini G.E.L.  Exhilarated by being in California (and excited to be working with such an institution as Gemini), Dean set about trying to use an unfamiliar medium, colour lithography, to depict the clouds and vapour trails she found striking in Los Angeles, where she’d been invited as artist in residence at the Getty Research Institute 2014-15.  The resulting prints are drawn and not photographed, and their apparent simplicity beguiles their labour.
