Michael Walker came to Los Angeles by way of Mexico—a critical stopover that “explained” L.A. to him: its historical, thriving roots churning beneath the asphalt. Since 1984, he has participated in more than one hundred exhibitions; received a dozen grants, fellowships, and artist residencies; and has enjoyed a dozen solo shows in both the United States and Mexico. He resides, of course, in Los Angeles.</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="3" WIDTH="832" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#C0C0C0" FRAME="BOX" RULES="NONE" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 433 WIDTH="9"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="433" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="9" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="44494ac0.jpg" border=0 width="404" height="428" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="9"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="433" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="9" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="3" WIDTH="319" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#C0C0C0" FRAME="VOID" RULES="ROWS" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 54 WIDTH="311"><div> <A HREF="id152.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Exhibitions"><U>Exhibitions</U></A></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 114 WIDTH="311"><div> <A HREF="id153.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Grants, Fellowships, Commissions"><U>Grants, Fellowships, Commissions</U></A></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 54 WIDTH="311"><div> <A HREF="id154.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Bibliography"><U>Bibliography</U></A></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 48 WIDTH="311"><bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:info@jmichaelwalker.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:info@jmichaelwalker.com"><U>Contact</U></A></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="32"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="433" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="32" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 24 WIDTH="9"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="9" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="408"><div> (foto credit: Adrienne Barnette, 2008)</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="9"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="9" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="340"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="340" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="32"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="32" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 14 WIDTH="886"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="886" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
