“What’s More Real Than Flesh?,” an exhibition featuring  recent paintings by Los Angeles-based artists Victoria Reynolds and Michael Alvarez and curated by Sue Spaid, opens at the Nan Rae Gallery on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 7:00 p.m.

Prior to the opening reception, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m., philosophers Sue Spaid and Woodbury Professor Rossen Ventzislavov will lace up the gloves for “Boxing Philosophical: Artistic Practice and its Discontents,” their second debate on the nature of art appreciation and a follow-up to last year’s forum on curation. Moderated by artist Vincent Johnson, Spaid and Professor Ventzislavov will address artistic freedom in the context of recent examples of public outcry and the removal and/or destruction of art objects.
