Elijah Burgher: Four Paintings. LAXART (Until 17 February): An artistic coda to LAXART’s collaborative group exhibition Sperm Cult, which closed in January, the works in this show were created by the Berlin-based Elijah Burgher while he was in residency in Los Angeles last autumn, thanks to a grant from the Mike Kelley Foundation. Burgher’s interest in the occult and queer sex magic comes through the raw canvases, which are meant to serve as “visual hexes” painted with the artist’s own “arcane language” of symbols. They also serve as a backdrop for LAXART’s Winter Event Series, which runs through this week at the non-profit art space and at Frieze Los Angeles.
