A view of Kamrooz Aram's current installation of paintings at LA><ART.

LA><ART was founded in 2005 on the German kunsthalle model, and is a crucial line of support for new, experimental work by contemporary artists outside of the confines of the art market and museum world.  New York based painter, Kamrooz Aram’s current exhibition, “Generation after Generation, Revolution after Revelation,” is on view at LA><ART through March 20, 2010.  The installation features a suite of ten mostly unfinished paintings that examine the cultural, social, and political meanings of abstraction.
