Local art galleries: postponements, and viable alternatives to showing their art
Almost all local galleries are closed or closing temporarily, but what do the gallery owners have in mind during the meantime? Receptions have been cancelled, and some exhibitions that have been scheduled may never open. We’ve been in contact with several owners and curators and would like to share their thoughts. We’d also like to share some artwork that you may not be able to see in person right now but, let’s hope, you’ll be able to see at a later date.

TAM – Torrance Art Museum
Exhibitions at the Torrance Art Museum have been curated by Max Presneill for the last decade, but at the moment, as he emphasizes, it’s all just wait-and-see:
“At this time decisions regarding the City’s responses to the coronavirus are being disseminated throughout the various departments. With this ongoing and quickly changing scenario I cannot tell you what our program will look like for the next few months with any certainty. I do know that all decisions will be based on what are the best and healthiest responses for the public and City of Torrance staff.”
TAM’s last show, “Death Cult,” opened in January and was scheduled to close last Saturday. Meanwhile, Presneill, who is himself an established artist, is busily at work in his studio.
