Friedman Benda presents a new body of work by South African artist, healer, and spiritual leader Andile Dyalvane.

Good Mother Gallery is moving to West Adams. To commemorate the new space, the Los Angeles-based gallery will unveil a new group exhibition tonight entitled Rendezvous. Founded 10 years ago in Oakland by French-American artist Guillaume Ollivier, Good Mother has championed a range of West Coast contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture and installation.
