L’KEG Gallery was an outlet for those in search of substance and bewilderment; encouraging and supporting the development, exchange, and presentation of creative ideas. It served as a liaison to the DIY community by showcasing emerging artists and musicians, and other misc. activities.

L’KEG supported independent entrepreneurs by distributing independent records, handmade crafts, zines, publications, and vintage clothing.

L’KEG was named after a line taken for the film “Velvet Goldmine” a film directed and co-written by Todd Haynes. L.K.E.G is an abreviation of “Lipstick Kissed Elbow Glove,” but easily pronounced as Le-Keg.

Leticia Llesmin, Cory Myrick, and Shannon Paley, founded LKEG Gallery in the hope of forming a new home for artists, free thinkers, etc. to create together and create a series of events that mean something or nothing at all, just a place they can rehearse, withdraw, and draw. Walt Gorecki later joined as a co-founder in January 2009, creating the best D.I.Y art showcases in the LA underground scene.

L’KEG Gallery will always exist in many fond memories and has transcended its spirit into its sister art space, The Black Triangle.

MEXICALI ILLNESS

The name of the city itself connotes a mixture of the Mexican & California cultures, yet for years Mexicali artists have been involved in the creation and underground dissemination of a creative force all their own. Not as ubiquitous or prominent on the national or international circuit as its neighboring border-town macrocosmos, Tijuana, the artistic sensibility of Mexicali’s underground seems like a welcome breath of fresh reverence towards the anarchic. There is a sense of urgency and immediacy flowing through the veins of the fiery existence in the art underbelly of this particular border. Through scant resources and proud independence, the scene and its accompanying artists seemingly move around uninterrupted, not being entirely susceptible to any form of paralyzing intrusion. The city’s remote and arid landscape is twice removed from the spotlight which institutionally provides an inexplicable detachment from the streets, something the major metropolises seem to possess.

Not entirely makeshift, the Mexicali art scene has seen a united and burgeoning development of do-it-yourself (d.i.y.) spaces in its recent years. In a city, state, and nation where most of the cultural funding seems to be destined, as if by default, to bigger cities producing more sedate and reputedly polished work, the d.i.y. aesthetic and total liberty of curation find a home in these imperfect spaces and shows. Perhaps that is the reason unconventional artists seem to be flocking to this city more often; it seems more like a sanctuary of mischief than any sort of formal presentation, screening, or reception.

Mexicali Rose is a grass roots communitarian organization dedicated to providing free access to artistic media for the lower income community youth of Mexicali, Baja California and are located in the neighborhood of Pueblo Nuevo, one of the city’s oldest and most vibrant areas historically and the area closest in physical vicinity to the U.S./Mexico border.

Mexicali Rose will transcend the borders that divide Mexico and the U.S to display their art in the City of Angels, giving us a glimpse of the Mexican underground culture.
