THEATER IN LOS ANGELES: THE BEST OF 2010 AWARD, January.1.2011 ARTS District Winterfest, Dec. 10, 2010 warehouse 833 E. Third St., Los Angeles, CA 90013 The Los Angeles Downtown Arts District is a community of downtown Los Angeles. It was created in the 1970's when artists moved into the empty warehouse and manufacturing spaces in buildings up to 130 years old in the area between Little Tokyo and the L.A. River. The residents gained legal status when the LA City Council permitted artists to live in their work spaces as live/work space. In the 1990's, at the urging of Arts District activist Joel Bloom, the area was officially designated as the Arts District. It is home to hundreds of artists, musicians, artisans and dozens of arts-related enterprises, including the Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc), Cornerstone Theater, ArtShare and a scattering of galleries, cafes and restaurants.

MEMORY PALACE SERIES by Birgitte Moos Art Statement GALLERY WESTPHALL - Copenhagen. January, 2007 Press Release The exhibition consists of 16 brand new paintings. Dark images inspired by the late 70's punk epoch and the transition into the art movement of the Young Wild Ones' strangulated cry for help. The fatalistic cry of the no future generation towards a Pre-spirituality: Time is now! The conceptual approach in these paintings tends to become an abstract science. Where the images of memory transcend into a form, to evoke emotion. BISCUIT LOFTS EXHIBITION, April - May 2007 May 2007 - CITIZEN LA. The Biscuit – an accidental art exhibition.

quotes "BIRGITTE AT WORK? YOU SAY. In the past few months, I have keenly observed an artist in lust with abstract expressionism, a fine artist sublime. Her day begins late, an ecclesiastic abominance, and ends late, the working mans abhorrence. I have only seen her work with cabinet pictures, yet the details of cissing and crawl are clear and unmistakeable, a palpable form for the tears emotive. Love and pain the two indistinguishable parts of orgasm. Sometimes she uses impasto, where minute shadows straggle albeit in questionable harmony, yet achieving the depth of an almost three dimensional character of a bas relief. Even though she paints with acrylic, there are many instances where she reaches disturbingly into the school of aquarelle, strangely enough imparting an illusion of fugitive colours. Her retouching is mood oriented, with rarely a conscious thought to embellish or improve the original, rather an emotional withdrawal system, the elegy of saying goodbye to a lover. Her collection is a visual melisma where one syllable of a theme is carried through several notes of painted symphony. In a world of where everyone uses eclecticism, somehow the artist must, if likened to another, struggle to avoid plagiarism, that too, is the essence of a fine artist, sublime". Cheiron Coelho, Writer. Copenhagen november 2006 "You are a very talented painter" Achim Freyer, Berlin 1997 |
