SUMMARY:Mome La La La Land! André Smits ARTISTINTHEWORLD | Watch a Mural Come to Life
DESCRIPTION:Armenian Arts is proud to present ARTISTINTHEWORLD by Dutch photographer and painter André Smits\, a global\, ongoing artistic journey that connects artists and art professionals across continents through photography\, murals\, and living networks of collaboration. \nSince 2008\, Smits has built an ever-expanding archive of more than 7\,000 photographs portraying artists in their studios around the world. A defining element of the series is the romantic Rückenfigur concept: each subject is photographed from behind\, offering viewers an intimate yet contemplative glimpse into creative spaces. \nThis pop-up exhibition marks his fourth visit to Los Angeles and features more than 100 photographs. \nA Living Mural – Watch It Happen \nFrom March 1–5\, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM\, André Smits will be creating a large-scale mural inside Armenian Arts. The mural functions as a living map of artistic connections — a network of names and arrows tracing relationships and introductions between artists. \nThe public is warmly invited to step in throughout the week to witness the mural’s progress in real time. Visitors may observe the process\, engage with the evolving network\, or follow daily updates on our Instagram. \nFor this exhibition\, Smits collaborates with Monika Dahlberg\, who will respond within the mural through colorful collages inspired by the city. \nSmits’ exhibitions function as social sculptures — spaces where connection itself becomes the artwork. \nExhibition Schedule \nFriday\, March 6\, 2026\n7:00–10:00 PM — Opening Reception  \nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026\n3:00–6:00 PM — Exhibition Open\n4:00 PM — Artist Talk  \nAfter the artist talk\, photographed artists are invited to take their portrait from the wall as a gift — a gesture reflecting the spirit of openness and shared artistic practice. \nJoin us for a week of process\, connection\, and celebration of the global artistic community.
