Gary Baseman’s autumn solo show at Venice’s Shulamit Gallery, “Mythical Homeland,” opens Oct. 5, 2013. In the exhibition, he creates another nostalgic installation honoring his family and home; an extension of the narrative he created at this year’s retrospective “The Door is Always Open” at the Skirball Cultural Center. In this fall’s exhibition, a 3-D birch tree forest pays homage to his parents’ WWII experience hiding from Nazis on the outskirts of Poland.

The opening reception is 6pm-9pm October 5, and the gallery is open 10pm to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday.
