Kenneth Anger: Hollywood Babylon

Jeffrey Deitch and Nicodim galleries will co-curate “Hollywood Babylon: A Re-Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome,” an art show inspired by the experimental filmmaker and author Kenneth Anger in the former Spago restaurant space in West Hollywood.

Launching with an invite-only opening on Monday, Jeffrey Deitch and Nicodim galleries are co-curating a pop-up art exhibit inspired by the work of the experimental filmmaker Kenneth Anger, author of the 1965 book of scandalous film-industry tales, Hollywood Babylon. More than 25 artists will be included in the group show, which will take place in the original Spago restaurant space in West Hollywood (before chef Wolfgang Puck moved it to Beverly Hills). Titled Hollywood Babylon: A Re-Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, the show, which will open to the public Tuesday and run through Sunday, Feb. 16 (12 p.m. to 6 p.m.), will also see films by Anger projected on the side of the building after sunset. > Read More
