LA's Peres Projects has a new Culver City location and two new shows on the horizon.

First up, at the new gallery, Entertainment Weakly -- a solo exhibition by Houston-based artist Mark Flood that will include mixed media drawings, paintings, sculpture and installation from the past and present.

Flood is a Merry Deformer, romping through the art world's carefully arrayed aisles with a stencil and a can of spray paint, rearranging its face. The works exhibited here cover three decades of Flood's output, from the defaced advertisement drawings of the early 1980s to brand new assemblages fashioned from the local Texas debris of Hurricane Ike.

The group exhibition Sack of Bones comes from a viewing of Paul Rachman's 2006 film, American Hardcore, in which Mark Flood appears as an interviewee on the topic of 1980's punk rock. Toted around, thrown in the corner, recovered as relic or disposed of as useless, a sack of bones is unavoidably deformed. It is an apparently dead object subject to the intentions of its creator, or its purveyor, or its consumer, or maybe just its times.

Sack Of Bones is curated by Blair Taylor and Ellen Langan and features work by Dan Colen, Tara Delong, Dash Snow, Mark Flood, Bruce LaBruce, Arsen Roje, Donald Urquhart, Banks Violette, and many others.
