(From the artist; repurposed by Aaron Stern)

In “Hard Copy Los Angeles,” curator Aaron Stern chops and screws the contemporary photographs he’s exhibiting by running them through a photocopier and rescanning them, offering a thoughtful alternative to our rapid consumption of images. The exhibiting artists include Andre D. Wagner, Carlos Jaramillo, Gray Sorrenti and Shaniqwa Jarvis, among others, at Webber Gallery. The opening reception is Jan. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Webber Gallery’s L.A. location. 939 S. Santa Fe Ave., Los Angeles. webberrepresents.com

In a conversation that happened in October of last year, artist Pippa Garner said: “I just want to make sure my body ends up where it belongs when I die: in the junkyard with the appliances I’ve made fun of throughout my career.” Garner, who died in late December, was one of a kind — a multidimensional artist who throughout a five-decade career continuously reinvented herself. Don’t miss the final weeks of her two-part exhibition happening at STARS in L.A. and Matthew Brown in New York, which feature some of Garner’s sculptures, drawings and photographs that capture the ludicrousness of living. Through Jan. 18. 3116 N. El Centro Ave., Los Angeles. stars-gallery.com
