Intimate, personal and approachable are the artistic and social concepts I would use to describe "From and About Place: Art from Los Angeles," an engaging exhibition of contemporary works by seven young artists who live and work in LA, currently on view at the Center for Contemporary Art (CCA) in South Tel Aviv.

From and About Place is the culmination of a cooperative venture planned and executed by the team of Sergio Edelsztein, director of CCA, and Alma Ruiz, curator of contemporary art at the MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles). Edelsztein and Ruiz met several years ago through a curatorial exchange program initiated and supported by the Tel Aviv/Los Angeles

Partnership, a project of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles and the municipality of Tel Aviv.
