Michael Wilkinson hung a scrawny copper ribbon from the ceiling
for his new show at Culver City's Blum & Poe gallery. Because
it's next to an 8-foot column of felt and a daunting black block
that looks like a war monument made of Legos (it is made of
Legos), the copper seems like an accident. It's not. Nor is the
black splotch on the left breast pocket of a linen shirt that
hangs on the closest wall. The tag inside that shirt says "No
History," and while Wilkinson's show overflows with historical
references, most of them feel like deeply mysterious accidents
posing as artifacts. 2754 S. La Cienega Blvd.; through July 7.
