Through close interaction with artists and thoughtful preparation of exhibitions and events, Actual Size presents a wide range of artwork and allows for situations that activate the exhibition and engage the public in the cul- ture of the artists’ work. RECENT PROJECTS On January 15th, 2011, Actual Size Los Angeles hosted a premiere of Pals or Pals for Life / Life for Pals, an approximately 34-minute video piece, which was shot principally in January 2011 at the Actual Size gallery. Created in the style of a traditional studio audience television program, Pals revels in the angst and emotion of four friends/lovers who must install their respec- tive artworks in the presence of frenemies large and small. Though each character in the film is named after a specific human being, the story im- plies that these are simple archetypes from a vast universe of narcissistic micro-movements. Pals features performances by Wilson Chang, Richard Lidinsky, PJ Risse, and Natascha Snellman, with cinematography by Tyler Jamison and original theme music composed by Wilson Chang. The screening will be on view January 15th - February 5th, 2011 dur- ing gallery hours and by appointment.

BUSINESS Brexit Vote Puts Industry In Limbo ● A weaker pound will deliver short-term gain, but businesses fear lack of investment. BY SAMANTHA CONTI WITH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM NATALIE THEODOSI LONDON — What now? British voters’ shocking decision Thursday to exit the European Union created an eerie sense of limbo through- out the Continent and around the world over the weekend as politicians, industry executives and just plain folks digested the result and tried to figure out what impact it will have on every- thing from trade and travel to the global economy and tourism. The only certainty at the moment is uncertainty — which is likely to result in a big blow to consumer confidence, not just in Europe but potentially world- wide. The concern is that the upheaval associated with the U.K.’s departure from the EU will cause consumers to pull back even more on spending, contributing further to the slowdown that has already hit retailers and fashion groups.
