LA Weekly selects Josh Mannis: KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUTURE ESTATE as 1 of 5 Free Art Shows to see in LA This Week!

“Wonderland of lost white kids The figures depicted in Josh Mannis’ current show at M+B, “Knowledge of the Future Estate,” have delicate noses, pink cheeks and perfectly combed, flapper-era hair (except for the two young-looking Buddhists, who have no hair at all). A series of midsized black-and-white drawings could easily be illustrations for a storybook about privileged young city dwellers about to go completely off the rails. In one drawing, a wide-eyed girl and boy on the floor look as unmoored as Alice after she’s fallen down the rabbit hole; another girl has just unplugged their Nintendo set. In another drawing, a boy with an orifice in his head runs naked past two tech workers in suits, almost touching fingers with one suited man, who looks away as though eye contact might hurt. The paintings, much brighter and more ornate, also depict well-coiffed people existing amid a chaos they’re still coming to terms with. 612 N. Almont Drive, West Hollywood; through Jan. 7.
