As I walked through the assemblage of 99-cent Only Store plastic goods, hung like columns at LACMA West, I was reminded of the mass-produced and inexpensive junk that we used and throw away in our modern busy lives. The eye-popping construction was purchased by artist, Choi Jeong-Hwa from local stores near the installation site. This piece kicks off a major exhibition which opens Sunday in LACMA's Broad Contemporary Museum. As a visitor, you're encourage to walk through "HappyHappy" on your way to the show of installations, sculpture, drawings animation and video art. This photo was taken in the middle of the suspended bins, tubs, funnels, cups, strainers and bowls. Enjoy! Some of it will look familiar.http://www.lacma.org
