Gallery exhibiting international contemporary art since 2012. The Estate of Bas Jan Ader.

Meliksetian | Briggs was founded in 2012 by Anna Meliksetian and Michael Briggs and is located in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, a historical area of the city and a hub of cultural activity near the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The programme to date has featured international artists, both emerging and mid career, who are invited to make tightly focused solo exhibitions of new or unseen

bodies of work in the intimate shop-front space. Exhibitions have varied in media, including installation, film, figurative and abstract painting, and although disparate in media, there is a lineage or history that ties the artists together through their influences, sensibilities and their practice. As the programme expands the exhibitions will reflect a dialogue between Los Angeles artists and their counterparts in Berlin, Vienna, London, New York and more. Artists exhibited include Meg Cranston, Todd Gray, Steven Hull, Christiane Lyons, Richard Hoeck and John Miller, John Miller, Aura Rosenberg, The Estate of Angus Fairhurst, Richard Hoeck and Heimo Zobernig, Cody Trepte and Johannes Wohnseifer. Meliksetian | Briggs is the exclusive worldwide representative of the Estate of Bas Jan Ader.

John Miller's collaboration with Nina Beier The Populace, curated by Signe Melgaard Mark now open at Denmark's ARoS Museum through March 29, 2027.

Danish Nina Beier and American John Miller have created a new work that transforms the underground Salling Gallery into a complex universe where the boundaries between human and object, portrait and person, original and reproduction shift. Their thought-provoking total installation revolves around identity, authenticity and representation.

As you enter the exhibition, you are greeted by a large number of staged mannequins standing face to face with photographs of portrait paintings unearthed from forgotten archives. A strange space emerges - both familiar and strange. The figures appear neither quite as people nor as objects, and there is a jumble of mutual glances between the mannequins, the portraits and the audience.

The exhibition explores the cultural codes and structures that shape our contemporary world, moving between portraiture tradition, consumer culture and the hierarchies embedded in the gaze. The Populace is at once intimate and alienating, personal and generic. The work leaves a space where originality and copy are displaced, and where seeing and being seen are negotiated. Don't miss it if you are in Denmark!

If you are in Dallas for the World Cup, don't miss Dave Muller's Solar Arrangement at AT&T Stadium (temporarily known as Dallas Stadium).

It is part of a very impressive public collection that includes work by Jenny Holzer, Doug Aitken, Olafur Elliason, Julie Mehretu and many more. The hand drawn hand painted mural measures 21 by 131 feet.

Solar Arrangement (2009) plays off of Muller’s memory of that experience. In his expansive mural, the sun is represented by a gorgeous yellow rose. The first three planets, Mercury, Venus, and Earth are represented by a ball of dry leaves, a ball of crunchy popcorn, and a ball of lush clover. Dashed lines trace small sections of their orbits. Several stars, which resemble snowflakes, twinkle in the background. Muller invites us to ponder our place in the cosmos—to picture the huge crowd gathered here as a tiny speck beneath the heavens. The experience is humbling and eye-opening, both personal and universal. His sun evokes “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” a legendary song that has been covered again and again and never the same way twice.

It is located on the Main Concourse, NW Concession Area.

Richard Hoeck and John Miller’s Mannequin Death, 2016 beautifully installed in The Happiness Project: Episode 3 Hearth and Home curated by José Freire at Galleria Zero, Milan.

“Hearth and Home is an installation that attempts to replicate, in skeletal form, a domestic setting — the gallery acting as a minimalist stage set for a piece of Brechtian theater. There are chairs, lighting fixtures, vases, vanity mirrors, and other objects of interior design. The works on view, however, are hardly props. Although they sometimes echo the real in their form, or physically incorporate functional items, they remain fictive. The placement of the works — which include sculpture, painting, photography, and video — across the two floors of Zero... generates a jagged, paratactic meaning, leaving viewers to connect these points of signification to each other and to the exhibition’s motif: to follow its hermeneutic line. An unimpeded passage through the space, permitting us to read its works in whatever order suits, allows for the unraveling of its weave of concerns.”

One of the edition of 7 of the Hoeck / Miller installation is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This work was shown in the gallery in 2016 along with a series of accompanying photo works.

Also featuring work by Lizzi Bougatsos, Sylvie Fleury, Christian Holstad, Elisabeth Kley, Liam Neﬀ, Kayode Ojo, Patrick Sarmiento, Dash Snow and Nicole Wermers through July 24th.

Don’t miss this show if you are in Milan this spring….

Featured at the Dallas Art Fair opening Thursday April 16: LA-based Dave Muller has built a distinctive practice around the cultural artifacts of music, particularly vinyl records and their ephemera.

Among his most compelling bodies of work are the price tag paintings, large-scale compositions that transform discarded commercial detritus into vibrant, kaleidoscopic abstractions. These works feature dense accumulations of hand painted, meticulously rendered price stickers, labels, and record shop tags, from albums in Muller’s own vast collection and painted in acrylic on gessoed plywood. Each tiny sticker is resized and recreated with obsessive fidelity including faded ink, creases, currency symbols, and the patina of time and individually applied to the panel collaged into dynamic, overlapping fields of color and shape.

Come and see a selection of Muller's classic works at the fair - and currently, Muller’s work is the subject of a major solo exhibition, Dave Muller: Proto Typical, on view at the Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena through August 8, 2026 - a must see if you are in LA!

Coming soon: very pleased to be showing a selection of works by LA based Dave Muller for our first time at the Dallas Art Fair opening April 16th.

Dave Muller (b. 1964, San Francisco) is a Los Angeles-based conceptual artist whose witty, multidisciplinary practice explores the intersection of music, popular culture, and personal identity. Through delicate watercolors and drawings of album spines, posters, and other musical ephemera, immersive installations, and interactive works, Muller examines how cultural artifacts and musical references shape our sense of self and communal experience. His vibrant disco ball paintings capture shifting reflections of light, color, and atmosphere, adding a playful, refractive layer to his ongoing meditation on nostalgia, irony, and the shared poetry of music.

His work is held in prominent museum collections including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Dallas Museum of Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the National Gallery of Canada, among others.

Currently, Muller’s work is the subject of a major survey exhibition, Dave Muller: Proto Typical, on view at the Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena through August 8, 2026.

Our Meg Cranston presentation at Untitled Art Miami Beach continues through the weekend. Come by and visit us if you are in town Booth B25…

12/03/2025

Now open: Untitled Art Miami Beach featuring new work by Meg Cranston in the Artist Spotlight section. The new works fuse Cranston’s interest in the relationship between painting and the written word as in this work Postion, 2025.

Position, 2025 is a “preposition painting” inspired by a paragraph by writer Grace Paley composed entirely of prepositional words. Cranston translates that linguistic structure into blocks of color arranged by relation: beside, under, toward, across. The poem on the back begins:

above / across / after / against / among / around

affirming that both color and language express relationships.

Opening Tuesday! New work by Meg Cranston in solo presentation at Untitled Art Miami Beach, featured in the Artist Spotlight section curated by Petra Cortright.

Meg Cranston’s new work merges painting and writing into a unified form. Though she has long worked in both media, she now treats them as parallel systems, two kinds of syntax. In her practice, visual structures such as composition, proportion, and color harmony function like grammar: a gesture acts as a verb; a palette sets a tone; spatial relationships articulate meaning as directly as sentences.

In Split Complement, 2025 she uses the color harmony of one hue paired with the two flanking its opposite to explore interpersonal and philosophical relationships. On the verso, she imagines a short play generated by the painting’s chromatic logic:

Setting: Two flowers and a hot-dog boat in triadic harmony.
Dramatic Question: Has the conflict already happened, or is it about to?

The text proposes that harmony is dynamic rather than fixed.
