MODA Hollywood (Museum Of Digital Art) DIG-IT-AL! MODA Hollywood is a creative space in Hollywood dedicated to digital art. (although, every art medium and form is encouraged) We want to document how the digital revolution will affect artists in the future and impact the art world. "Museum" comes from an Ancient Greek word used to name one of the worlds first great centers of study and learning, (around 300 BC). "The Musaeum" at Alexandria, Egypt, translates as; "Institution of the Muses". - A sacred place devoted to learning and the arts. It was under the divine protection and inspiration of the Muses. The Musaeum was like a small university and included The Library of Alexandria. MODA Hollywood will embrace the original meaning for "museum". Rather than fill its rooms collecting "objects" and "things", MODA wants to inspire people's creativity. It should be a mecca for artists who want to use the space to work on new ideas, collaborate with other artists, create art performances, sell art and display their work to others. Art that is exhibited or performed will be digitally documented for the museum. Later it will be shown on digital screens, using virtual reality or with 3-D imaging technology developed in the future. This is how a digital museum collection will be assembled in the 21st century... MODA is a space for designers, dancers & divas in Los Angeles who consider themselves artists and what they do a form of art. This includes not just paintings and sculpture, but would include anything from a fierce haircut, a food recipe, clothing design, song etc. In this era of "Mediacracy", where everyone can have a blog or website to promote themselves, we are looking for superior talent - people who have something to show or say that would be interesting to more than just their mothers. MODA Hollywood's other goal is to give a new meaning to what digital art is. Since an artist's final product is usually a digital file, (and most digital art is made as a digital file), the idea of selling art as digital files is promoted. (a new medium for art) - In 2016, MODA will continue to explain the advantages to selling art as digital files and how it will work. The Digital connection - The ultimate goal is creating a community digital billboard where LA artists can exhibit their art to the public. (In the future, everyone will be an "Artist", - for 15 seconds...) Money will be raised for this sign and each artist that qualifies will get 15 seconds to display their art on it. Up to now, artists could display their art to the public with large murals painted on buildings. With a digital billboard, many more artists could be represented in public art.
The Los Angeles Fire Department Museum and Memorial is located at Old Engine Co. No. 27, also known as Fire Station No. 27, on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood. The museum houses old fire engines and fire apparatus, some dating from the 1880s. The museum also houses a reference library and fire safety learning center. The building was named a Los Angeles Cultural-Heritage Monument in 1976 and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The Fallen Firefighters Memorial in front of the station consists of a memorial wall listing all of the Los Angeles firefighters who have died in the line of duty and five life-size statues of firefighters.History of Engine Co. No. 27At 20000sqft, the Italian Renaissance revival building housing Engine Co. No. 27 was the largest fire station west of the Mississippi River when it opened in July 1930. For more than 60 years, the old fire station served the Hollywood community, including the motion picture studios and the stars who lived in the Hollywood Hills. It was also used a movie location by, among others, The Three Stooges and Buster Keaton. The use of the building as both a movie location and a working fire station sometimes led to difficulties. In 1937, a real fire broke out while a Hollywood studio was filming the motion picture, "Two Platoons", at Fire Station No. 27. The Los Angeles Times reported on the incident this way:"The entire crew was on hand as atmosphere and the equipment served as a background. Dick Foran and Robert Armstrong were in the middle of a scene when the alarm sounded. Moviemaking meant nothing in the life of Battalion Chief Rothermel at that moment. Before (director John) Farrow could finish the sequence, the fire engines were speeding on their way to a brush fire in the Hollywood Hills. The movie company had to wait an hour before action could be resumed."

VARIOUS SMALL FIRES (“VSF”) was founded by Esther Kim Varet and opened its doors to the public January 2012 . Initially located within the prestigious Abbot Kinney district in historic Venice Beach, California, the gallery moves to its new, expanded facility in Hollywood (within the center of Los Angeles’ growing gallery community) in Fall 2014. VSF borrows its name from Southern California-based artist Ed Ruscha and his self-published conceptual-art book, Various Small Fires and Milk (1964), a collection of pictures of various everyday items set to flames. This idea sets in place VSF’s philosophy that each mounted exhibition becomes an individual fire - an active metaphor for good ideas - holding the promise and potential of spreading like wildfire.
Gallery 1988 has quickly become one of the world’s most talked about art galleries. Opened in 2004 on the famous corner of Melrose and La Brea, by California natives Katie Cromwell and Jensen Karp, the gallery has become the nation's number one destination for pop-culture themed artwork and the premiere venue to witness the rise of emerging artists before they break. Openings at the gallery have seen upwards of 2,500 people attending in one night, including celebrities such as Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, Good Charlotte, Seth Rogen, DJ AM, Paul Wall, Seth Green, Samuel L. Jackson, Jonah Hill, Michael Rappaport, Linkin Park, Swizz Beats and Joss Whedon admiring the walls. An annual show at G1988, “Crazy 4 Cult” receives worldwide press (faced by the show’s hosts filmmakers Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier) and over 1,000,000 website hits on the day of the opening reception. Titan Publishing recently published the gallery's first book chronicling pieces from the first 4 installments of the show. In addition, Gallery1988 has collaborated with Stan Lee and Beastie Boys to create the annual tribute show, "Under the Influence," which pays homage to these inspirational icons and their influence on our generation. And in 2011, Karp and Cromwell expanded G1988 with a second location, on the border of Venice Beach and Santa Monica. The galleries have been featured in dozens of magazines including US Weekly, Jutxapoz, JANE, COMPLEX, The Los Angeles Times, FHM, The Washington Post, and The National Post. They've also received press from the CNN, G4 network, KTLA, KTTV, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, KROQ, Power 106 and publications in the United Kingdom, Japan, Sweden, Germany and Italy. G1988 has also created unprecedented partnerships with corporations like The Walt Disney Company, Capcom, Topps, EA and Mattel to produce art shows inspired by their products and history. In 2009, Gallery1988:LA worked hand in hand with Tyson/Givens Design & ABC television show "LOST," to create a promotional campaign and art show that has changed the face of television marketing as a whole. For the past 6 years, Gallery 1988 has helped nurture and create a collective of artists who call 1988 their “homebase,” allowing collectors to purchase affordable artwork from art stars on the rise, before their price range skyrockets.
