On Saturday, Februrary 23rd from 1—3pm at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, a special panel will assemble to celebrate the ongoing exhibition,Auto-Didatic: The Juxtapoz School. The From Car to Canvas panel, featuring Juxtapoz founder Robert Williams, will not only discuss the roots of our publication, but the origins of car culture and its embedded aesthetic with Southern California art.
From the museum: Drawing from an array of Southern California subcultures, including comix, graffiti, and the rod and custom world, Lowbrow Art broke from the dominant abstract and gestural art movements of the mid to late twentieth century. Snubbed by the mainstream art world until the pivotal 1993 Kustom Kulture exhibit at the Laguna Art Museum, the Lowbrow Art movement found a home with the founding of Juxtapoz magazine in 1994. Please join us Saturday, February 23rd for a panel discussion with artists and curators featured in our current exhibit Auto-Didactic: The Juxtapoz School, including Robert Williams, Meg Linton, Phil Linhares, and Kenny Scharf moderated by Pat Ganahl.
The panel event is free with paid admission to the museum.
