AZ: Weeknight opening without drinks or weekend opening at 10 am?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> We can\u2019t do weekend openings at 10 am because we have work on every Saturday. We certainly prefer Saturdays, because we get to sleep in a little!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Best memory together in Egypt?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> I stayed in this hotel called the City View in Cairo.<\/p>\nSpencer:<\/strong> \u2014 Yeah that was a lot of fun\u2026 long story short, the night ended up with us singing Scottish songs with the owner of the hotel who had graciously smuggled us a bottle of whiskey.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Why L.A. and why Beverly Hills?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> We were both born here, and like it here. Ultimately, we enjoy being a destination space. Because people tend not to spend much time in this area, the land is fertile for exploration and experimentation. Every day, I park my car underneath what used to be the Copley Galleries. For a short time in the 1940\u2019s, William Copley had a surrealist art gallery in a bungalow house that showed Rene Magritte, Joseph Cornell, & Man Ray. There\u2019s some good history here.<\/p>\nSpencer:<\/strong> I feel like in a lot of ways we are just an extension of that Westside L.A. history \u2014 Ferus Gallery, Copley, etc..<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n“HUNKS” install.

AZ: Disclosable plans for crazy future shows?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> We will be having a multimedia show on April Fools day. We are currently figuring out how to rip the lights out of the ceiling. I believe this work will only be viewable by laying on one\u2019s back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AZ: 100 paintings or 100 sculptures?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> This is too many of both of these things. We want to scale down, at all moments. Let\u2019s try one painting in the space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAZ: An artist or group you would love to show in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> Helen Frankenthaler, William Copley, or some kind of acted-out, re-staging of an as yet unproduced, Brett Ratner screenplay.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Has anyone accidentally contacted you thinking it was the old Egyptian Art & Antiques<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny<\/strong>: Almost daily. We have been offered many, antiquities. We typically send them the email to the Smithsonian Institute.<\/p>\nSpencer:<\/strong> Sometimes we should probably send them to the FBI.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAZ: Best recent show you\u2019ve seen?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> The adjoining Harold Ancart & Andrea Buttner show at Kordansky a few months ago. Magdalena Kita\u2019s show at Charlie James. Michael Decker\u2019s Sillisculpt installation at the Meow.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Why are carpets so unpopular?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> We have several carpets in our apartment! They are also very thick carpets, the ones that do not slip and slide. We have many guests at our apartment, and we would not want them slipping and sliding.<\/p>\nSpencer:<\/strong> I LOVE CARPETS! LOVE THEM. But, not wall-to-wall carpeting, absolutely not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAZ: Particularly awkward or memorable moment during an opening?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> Not sure if we believe in the idea of awkward moments. It\u2019s all about possessing that secret sauce to slide out of any topic of conversation, at the drop of a hat. We have met many fine people from the internet at our openings! It is always pleasing to match a face to an Insta handle.<\/p>\nSpencer:<\/strong> A memorable moment would be when we were arrested during the opening in October\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AZ: What\u2019s the upcoming show?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> A Lena Wolek solo exhibition of ceramics. Very excited.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n“A Set” by Lena Wolek. “Our Masters” show. Photo\/\/ Max Schwartz.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Still standing by \u201canything different\u2026 we\u2019re all about,\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\nDanny:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
AZ: Something serious and meaningful, please.<\/strong><\/p>\nWe thank you for giving us this opportunity.<\/p>\n
