LA-based artist Glenn Kaino’s clever and well done exhibition Safe/Vanish does what art is meant to do at times: it makes you smile knowingly and laugh out loud. Kaino explores the idea of celebrity not only in entertainment but in the art world as well. The site-specific installation of magic art world wands is brilliant. As is the idea of filling a trunk with celebrity secrets ranging from the personal to the professional. This year LAXART also celebrated their 5th Anniversary as the leading non-profit exhibition space in Los Angeles. The show closes October 30th. www.laxart.org
