Photos from DAC Gallery opening of “Convergence” – Downtown LA, December 10, 2010
I finally got around to sorting through a bunch of images from the opening of Convergence at DAC Gallery (Dec. 10).

Just a reminder that the show is still running until February 4, so if you haven’t seen it yet, the gallery is participating in the Downtown Art Walk, next Thursday, January 13th, 6-9pm at 828 S Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90014 (between 8th and 9th – view map).
Aside from the monthly Art Walk opening, the gallery operates Mon-Fri, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.
First up in the slideshow, you’ll see pics of the performance by artist Amelia Vella and several medically-clad attendants who chopped off her hair, marked the spot where the locks fell, then methodically placed them on a white table as “exhibits”. In a nutshell, Amy’s performance was a show of solidarity for both her parents who discovered they had cancer within a year of each other. Family history being a high-risk factor, the artist makes a strong statement on genetics, statistics, and the likelihood of her having to struggle with the disease at some point in the future.
The remainder of the slideshow is a general overview of the other featured artists’ work. Enjoy!
