SUMMARY:Well by Nik Gelormino at Fernberger
DESCRIPTION:The Uncanny Object: Well by Nik Gelormino at Fernberger\nLOS ANGELES\, CA – Fernberger Gallery presents Well\, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Nik Gelormino. Running through the early months of 2026\, the exhibition marks a definitive sculptural turn for the artist\, whose two-decade practice has long occupied the “gray area” between fine art and functional design. \nThe exhibition showcases a series of meticulously crafted wood and metal works that reference everyday objects—hands\, tools\, and houses—reimagined as precious\, almost ceremonial talismans. \nTension and Utility\nGelormino’s sculptures are often encased in wood and glass vitrines\, presented as if they were reliquaries from a foreign culture. The exhibition includes: \n\n\nThe Sculptures: Five works\, including a new “hitchhiker’s thumb” and a house icon protected by brass rivets. These pieces evoke the legacy of West Coast conceptualist H.C. Westermann\, blending playful forms with high-craft execution. \n\n\nThe Language: Gelormino uses engraving and titles to guide the viewer. The written word is often physically carved into the objects\, requiring the audience to circle the work to find legibility. \n\n\nWorks on Paper: Two watercolor and ink pieces from 2016 depicting a hand igniting a lighter. To Gelormino\, these represent the spiritual act of creation—”a hand bringing light\, creating form.” \n\n\nAbout the Artist\nNik Gelormino (b. 1986\, San Francisco) is a graduate of The Cooper Union. His work has been exhibited internationally\, from Artists Space in New York to Office Baroque in Brussels. Well emphasizes the human hand and the implication of touch\, creating a world where utility is uncertain but the craftsmanship is absolute.

SUMMARY:From Podcast to Stage: Open-Door Playhouse Headlines Hollywood Festival
DESCRIPTION:From Podcast to Stage: Open-Door Playhouse Headlines Hollywood Festival\nHOLLYWOOD\, CA – After producing nearly 200 audio dramas for a global audience\, the award-winning Open-Door Playhouse is returning to the physical stage. For the second consecutive year\, the company will present five of its most acclaimed works live at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre as a headline act for the 30 Minutes or Less Festival this January. \nFounded by filmmaker Bernadette Armstrong during the 2020 lockdowns\, Open-Door Playhouse has evolved from a creative lifeline for artists into a decorated podcast theater\, earning a Communicator Award for Custody and a Webby Award nomination for What’s Prison Like. \nThe Live Performance Schedule\nThe festival presents a fast-paced “concentrated” theater experience\, with each program curated to deliver high impact in under half an hour. \nSaturday\, January 17\, 2026 | 6:15 PM\n\n\nShe Was Dick’s Tracie \n\n\nWriter: Sandra Cruze | Director: Bernadette Armstrong \n\n\nThe Story: A noir-inspired mystery where a senior detective and a coroner investigate the murder of a “dynamite redhead.” As the investigation unfolds\, the investigators realize they each share a secret\, personal connection to the victim. \n\n\n\n\nSunday\, January 18\, 2026 | 2:30 PM\n\n\nThe End \n\n\nWriter: Patricia Motto | Director: Gary B.

SUMMARY:Rhythmic Contours at MASH Gallery
DESCRIPTION:A New Rhythm: Rhythmic Contours at MASH Gallery\nWEST HOLLYWOOD\, CA – MASH Gallery welcomes the new year with the opening of Rhythmic Contours\, a compelling group exhibition that explores the fundamental power of the line. The exhibition kicks off with an opening night reception on Saturday\, January 17\, 2026\, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM\, and will remain on view through February 14\, 2026. \nConceived by artist and founder Haleh Mashian\, MASH Gallery serves as a dynamic space for independent curators and bold thematic shows. In Rhythmic Contours\, the gallery is transformed into an immersive environment where the line is treated as a living\, generative force—shaping rhythm\, movement\, and spatial language across painting\, sculpture\, and mixed media. \nThe Power of the Gesture\nWhile historical traditions often viewed the line as a tool for discipline and order\, the artists in this exhibition approach it as fluid and responsive. The works on display demonstrate how a single gesture can fracture\, repeat\, or dissolve to register tension and time. Featured artists include: \n\n\nTina Bluefield: Known for works like Heart Waves\, which use rhythmic patterns to connect landscape and memory. \n\n\nZack Smithey: His piece Edge (Yellow) exemplifies how line can serve as both a structural boundary and a vibrant\, energetic presence. \n\n\nAdditional Artists: The exhibition features an eclectic roster including Anthony Liggins\, Behnaz Manzavi\, Bryan Ricci\, Daniel Torre\, Itaewon\, Piers Henry\, Rod Lanthim\, Ron Reihel\, Salvatore Mateo\, and Thomas Piekunka. \n\n\nA Spatial Experience\nThe exhibition is designed to guide the viewer’s eye through the room\, creating a “visual tempo” that fluctuates between moments of quiet pause and high-energy flow. For collectors and designers\, these works function as anchors that bring structure to a space without rigidity\, making the gallery an essential stop for those seeking art that activates its environment.
