Coagula Curatorial

As art critic, curator and editor of the Coagula Art Journal since 1992, Mat Gleason certainly knows a thing or two about the LA art scene. The 2012 opening of this contemporary exhibition and performance space in Chinatown has been an underground sensation, shooting a fearless blast of energy into a sometimes-tired scene. Exhibition openings are followed by stand-up comedy nights, where funny folks perform in the hip venue space, sometimes using the art on the walls as fodder for their act. (It goes without saying, brave artists show here!)
