‘Signs of the Times’ Exhibit Extended Through June 9
Stephen Seemayer’s exciting exhibition of 62 new works inspired by Occupy L.A. — now showing at the District Gallery in downtown Los Angeles — has been extended through Sunday, June 9, 2013.
In addition to the collages, made up of reconstructed L.A. Times front pages, newspaper and magazine clippings, photographs and spray paint, the exhibit features a 5-minute movie about the occupation of City Hall in the fall of 2011. The film includes photographs and video that he and his wife, filmmaker Pamela Wilson, took over the two months of the protest, and from the last night, when the peaceful demonstrators were forcefully evicted by the LAPD.

The protestors were showing solidarity with Occupy Wall Street in New York, and pressing for fairness and compassion for working class Americans. They urged a shift in values and a closing of the rift between the wealthiest in our society and the “99%.”
Seemayer’s collages incorporate the slogans and signage that got the occupiers’ messages across, along with photographs and stencils of revolutionary symbolism.
Signs of the Times continues through May 26.
