Michels was even able to enlist Daniel Salin, the set designer and producer for Banksy’s famous LA Barely Legal exhibition in 2006 which featured a live elephant that had been painted by the elusive street-artist. Michals admired the way Salin produced Barely Legal and thought he would be the perfect person to locate a space and layout for the show.
“The space will NOT look like a traditional gallery with fluorescent or bright light,†Michals emphasized. “We’re taking a completely different approach.†Instead of coldness of sparsely decorated stark white walls, the environment will seem more warm and intimate. Lights will be ambient, allowing for the artwork to be spotlighted drawing specific attention to each unique piece.
For Michals, a simple part-time project has now turned into the largest multi-artist exhibition of cat-inspired works for sale ever exhibited in one place. Of course, any passing cat would be totally bored by the whole thing.
Cat Art Show will be on view at 101/exhibit gallery, 6025 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles; January 25 and 26 and February 1 and 2. The show is free of charge.
