Artist Pietro Roccasalva's first show in the United States opens at the David Kordansky Gallery in Culver City this Saturday, the 11th. The opening reception will take place from 6 to 9 pm (and the public is welcome as always). But you should really visit the gallery any time on Saturday, because -- in addition to paintings, drawings, and a neon work by the artist -- a large-scale sculptural installation will serve as the site for a tableau vivant performance beginning at 11 am.

Roccasalva's work has been seen in major exhibitions internationally, including at the most recent Venice Biennale.

The show will run until March 24. David Kordansky Gallery is located at 3143 S. La Cienega Blvd.
