David Pagel, the LA-based educator, art critic and curator, has organized an exhibition that is simply thrilling. It is reckless, poignant, vulnerable, whimsical, smart and wholly satisfying.

Pagel decided to quickly make a list of the most memorable shows he saw in LA during the 2007-2008 season—literally jotting down the first 20 names to pop into his head, without overthinking a conceptual or aesthetic theme. These artists became the exhibition that is LA Now. If Pagel, who sees more art in a year than most people see in a lifetime, can’t get something out of his head, then you can be sure you won’t either. Love it or hate it, this work sticks with you, as only the best art does.
