Known since the \u201890s for paintings that question what a painting is, LA artist Laura Owens<\/a> pushes the boundaries again with must-see immersive artworks at Matthew Marks Gallery<\/a>.\u00a0 An old metal desk once installed at the gallery entrance was shipped to Owens\u2019 LA studio, fitted with interactive elements (a moving roll of tape, a drawer that slides open on its own) and now welcomes visitors into a show of surprises.\u00a0 In the first room, Owens flips walls and canvas, painting trompe l\u2019oeil wires, candy and more on the walls, while the show\u2019s five canvases hint at patterns derived from wallpaper designs. In the back space (pictured here), patterns, floating clouds and flowers take over walls set with small panels that open and close to reveal hidden pictures.\u00a0 In another gallery, visitors are invited to gently handle books handmade by the artist, a reversal of the usual prohibition against touching and a trigger for our pleasure in discovery.\u00a0 (On view through April 19th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
