Nick Aguayo and Bari Ziperstein are included in the exhibition Step & Repeat curated by Nancy Meyer and John Weston opening at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery March 6th and on view through May 18th.

Works inspired by by the historical Pattern and Decoration movement of the mid-1970s and its impact across our region, Step & Repeat highlights 46 Southern California artists who engage with themes of pattern and decoration. The exhibition seeks to create a dialogue around those concepts, encompassing both direct explorations of the subject and works that approach it peripherally.

The exhibition’s title, Step & Repeat, is a term used for publicity backdrops at special events, particularly red-carpet premieres. While this slightly tongue in cheek reference to Hollywood hints at LAMAG’s physical proximity, it also reflects the repetitive and systematic qualities inherent in patterns within the works on view.
