Maarten Baas: Play Time at Carpenters Workshop Gallery. Throughout his career, Maarten Baas has often worked with deliberate naivety and a focus on playful experimentation. Baas’ first solo exhibition in Los Angeles will unveil his latest bodies of work, The Children’s Clock and The Grandfather Clock The Son. These new pieces are fitting examples of Maarten’s whimsical and intellectual craftsmanship, performance art, and theatrical style, experienced in the immersive scenography in which the work will be presented. 7070 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood; Opening reception: Tuesday, February 14, 6pm; On view through May 13; free; carpentersworkshopgallery.com.
