On Tuesday, Tappan Collective unveiled its latest show, “ELSEWHERE,” with a decidely festive Angeleno evening. Cold drinks and an expansive list of participating artists brought in a crowd buzzing with conversation. By the time founder Chelsea Nassib, painter Satsuki Shibuya, and CULTURED contributor Janelle Zara settled in for a conversation about art, intuition, and attunement, ears were perked and a hush fell over the gathering of cultural insiders.
The Locale: Tappan Collective’s brick-and-mortar gallery at 8200 Melrose Avenue.
The Occasion: The gallery inaugurated “ELSEWHERE,” a choral show exploring (and exploding) the landscape genre, featuring works by the likes of Gia Coppola, Michael Harnish, Sasha Court, Marleigh Culver, Michael DeSutter, Lisa Hardy, and Marina Ross.
The Crowd: A coterie of LA tastemakers, including entrepreneur Holly Liss Jammet, gallerist Rosa Park, art advisor and curator Kipton Cronkite, actor Nicole Kang, stylist Rob Zangardi, and beauty expert Mary Phillips turned out for Tappan.
Cause for FOMO: Clever soundbites between a spiritually-forward artist grounded in intuitive listening, and an arts writer with a special handle on the pulse of creative currency and how to ask just the right question.
