Multidisciplinary artist Jim Jarmusch, known for directing films such as “Stranger than Paradise” (1984) and “Broken Flowers” (2005), will have his first solo exhibition in L.A., “some more collages,” at modernist gallery James Fuentes. “Some more collages” displays Jarmusch’s newsprint collages, which reflect his expansive archive of visual fragments, along with lithographs from Frieze Los Angeles. This James Fuentes exhibition marks a creative shift for Jarmusch — in this new, simplified approach, he has selectively hand-torn the faces out of the prints, creating an ambiguous narrative for viewers to interpret. March 29–April 26. 5015 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles
