Brooks Hudson Thomas is pleased to announce the exhibition of new work
by Los Angeles artist, Jamison Carter and Brooklyn architects, Stefanie
Brechbuehler and Robert Andrew Highsmith of WORKSTEAD.
Jamison Carter works idiosyncratically with a small muster of rubber stamps
fabricated from his own designs. Working with inks and other pigments and
his magazine of mark making tools, Carter constructs remarkable abstract
images, on Tyvek, that recall the microscopic natural structures of germs or
viruses, (and other critters) presented on a grand scale. Worked in three
dimensions, with the same resolve, Carter’s large painted wire structures
possess the same biotic intrigue. The imagined systems and eukaryotic forms
that Carter pictures, the product of a process he has manufactured, as well
as the wire structures he hand builds, index the complex intelligence of their
maker as well as the viewer. For his first exhibition at SPECIFIC, Carter is
showing a 7 x 9 foot wall-hanging sculpture and a large drawing installed
in situ on the north wall above the entry.
WORKSTEAD, the architectural team of Robert Andrew Highsmith and
Stefanie Brechbuehler, compliment their practice with their “exciting machinery”.
Using repurposed-industrial components, O.C. White joints and vintage
Hubbell sockets, WORKSTEAD builds new and elegant lighting fixtures for
the 21st Century. Thoughtfully engineered, and creatively apprehended, the
lighting transcends the sum of their parts with scale, color and graphic invention.
Highsmith and Brechbuehler are bringing a grand 6-arm chandelier and
a collection of wall mounted lamps to Los Angeles for their west-coast début.
Please join us at SPECIFIC for the opening reception for Jamison Carter
& WORKSTEAD on Saturday, May 1, 5-8 PM. Please call Brooks Hudson

Opening Reception, Saturday, February 27th, 6 – 10pm
Lawrence Asher Gallery examines structure through the eyes and compositions of three distinctive painters. Paul Davies balances exquisite modern architecture in abstracted, painterly environs utilizing contemporary art-making techniques. Christina Shurts' loose and free application of paint reduces concerns with engineering principles of her super-structures. Dream states and imperfect memories serve as the catalyst of her creations. Andre Yi continues his masterly renderings of landscape and structure from a more focused, natural perspective. These paintings, inspired by his own photographs of National forests and parks, effectively examine man's complex relationship with the natural world.

SAMANTHA FIELDS
CONTAINMENT
November 7 – December 19, 2009
Reception, Saturday, November 7, 6 – 9 pm
Kim Light/LightBox is pleased to announce Containment, the gallery's second solo exhibition by Samantha Fields. In photoreal paintings depicting landscapes caught in the sudden turbulence of wildfires, Fields continues an exploration of extraordinary and extreme environments. A series of new paintings on canvas registers the artist's ongoing encounters with contemporary ecology, capturing the sublime sensations of the most vulnerable beauty in the throes of devastating forces of nature.
Sweet Subversives: Contemporary California Drawings,
Long Beach CA –
The Long Beach Museum of Art is preparing a new exhibition titled Sweet Subversives, which will open October 10, 2009 on the first floor of the Museum’s gallery pavilion. Sweet Subversives is a unique gathering of 31 drawings by Southern California artists who explore their personal vision of what a drawing means to them and how they achieve this vision. Many artists stretch themselves within the traditions of mark-making on paper. Although all artists begin their creative process with the seemingly simple concept of a drawing, each artwork is taken on a complex journey—the media becomes mixed, papers become installation, and how we think about drawing moves within the complexities of each artist’s vision. Every artist in this exhibition represents the best of contemporary drawings and mixed media drawings in the greater Los Angeles area. Sweet Subversives will close February 14, 2010.

Contemporary Art Conversations #3 (CAC-3), the third in an ongoing series of panel discussions about key issues and exhibitions of contemporary art, will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2009, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, California.
Organized by art critic Peter Frank and art historian Betty Ann Brown, and co-sponsored by AICA (International Association of Art Critics), CAC-3 will also include art critic Shana Nys Dambrot and artist/critic John O’Brien. The panelists will introduce and describe several current exhibitions, including “Installations Inside/Out” at the Armory, “Calligraffiti” at the Pacific Asia Museum, Sandow Birk’s Koran paintings at Koplin del Rio, and Merion Estes’ “Lost Horizons” at Galerie Anais. After the panelists introduce the exhibitions, the conversation will be opened to the audience, who will be encouraged to address both the particulars of the selected exhibitions as well as more general contemporary art issues of interest.
Contemporary Art Conversations #1 was held at Jack Rutberg Fine Art Gallery and attracted more than 200 participants. Contemporary Art Conversations #2 met at Arena 1 Gallery/Santa Monica Studios in Santa Monica.
Contemporary Art Conversations are free and open to the public.
For information, contact Betty Ann Brown at: betty.a.brown@csun.edu or on Facebook.
Righty-Tighty, Loosey-Goosey: A Performative Painting Project by Cherie Benner Davis
Date: Thursday, September 17, 2009
Painting Session: 2:00-7:00 pm
Reception: 7:30– 9:00 pm
For a period of five hours (from 2:00 - 7:00 p.m.) Benner Davis will work on five pre-painted, tightly-composed, paintings which she will “undo” to varying degrees, by overpainting using various “loose” painting techniques. She will “break” with her own ingrained tendencies for artistic perfectionism in order to reinvent, to start again. At the completion of the five-hour painting period, the paintings will be hung on the wall in whatever state they exist, and she will host a reception for guests.
Guests are welcome to observing during the painting session and/or attend the reception.

Instruments: Koh Byoung-o, Paul DeMarinis, Reed Ghazala, William Leavitt, Nam June Paik, Clare Rojas, Dani Tull, William T. Wiley, and Robert Wilhite opens Saturday, June 27, with a reception for the artists from 6 – 9 pm. This exhibition continues through August 15, 2009.
A series of performances will be held in the gallery during the months of July and August. Please call the gallery for further details and schedule.
Instruments: a group exhibition of sound producing structures will include a historical and diverse selection of acoustic and analog electronic instruments made in 1970s to the present.
Reed Ghazala is recognized as the father of circuit-bending and is credited with launching the first grass-roots electronic art movement. ”Trigon Incantor” 2001 uses a Touch & Tell child’s game and altered Texas Instruments electronics realized as a human voice synthesizer controlled by steel balls positioning upon a pressure-sensitive stage. The rolling movements produce loops of abstract sounds and unique musical languages. Ghazala is the author of numerous articles on electronics and experimental musical instruments including the seminal twenty-article circuit-bending series in Experimental Musical Instruments Magazine, 1992 – 1998. Reed Ghazala lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Since the early 1970s, Los Angeles artist, designer, and musician Robert Wilhite has been involved in a variety of sound-oriented performances that have been both an auditory and visual means of presenting sculptural objects to an audience. Instruments will include his 1977 sound structure, “Gongs from Ramona,” produced for the play, Ramona, a theatrical collaboration with Guy de Cointet. This exhibition will also include his early single string instruments including a Rietveld–inspired painted wood bow sculpture.
Los Angeles based William Leavitt is a theater artist, painter, and musician who has performed and exhibited in Los Angeles since 1975. He wrote and produced his first theater piece, "The Silk," in 1975. Around 1988 he began working with Joseph Hammer and Rick Potts on experimental music projects. They collaborated on the music for "Random Trees", a play that was presented at the Santa Monica Museum of Art in 1990. As a cellist, he has performed in several local groups including Solid Eye, The Subtones, and Provisional Riviera. He was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for New Genres in 1991 and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1998. This exhibition will include his hand-built instruments “Two by Cello” and “One by Bass” from 1991-92.
San Francisco painter, filmmaker, and musician Clare Rojas has been long known for her personal and signature folk art-like gouache and latex paintings of colorful crisp figurative subjects and landscapes, often painted on antique banjos. Her work has been associated with the San Francisco group of artists known as The “Mission School,” a loose collection of artists clustered together in the Mission District of San Francisco. Two painted banjo works from 2007 will be included in the exhibition.
Northern California based artist William T. Wiley’s works have bridged painting, sculpture, printmaking, watercolor, set design, and filmmaking since the 1960s. His iconic and always humorous works have combined signature visual elements of interest ranging from the I Ching, Ancient Roman History, universal symbols, flags, Marcel Duchamp, fishing, and puns. He has collaborated with the mime R.G. Davis, Robert Nelson, and Steve Reich in the film Plastic Haircut. Wiley has also long been interested in playing music and making instruments from found materials often created as woodcut structures, whittled and carved with sound producing wires instead of guitar strings. The exhibition includes the woodcut guitar sculpture “DEBILSLIDE” from 1986. His work was recently included in the exhibitions “The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989” at Guggenheim Museum, New York, and “San Francisco and the Bay Area in the Sixties- Looking for Mushrooms,” Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany. His upcoming traveling retrospective, “What’s It All Mean: William T. Wiley in Retrospect,” opens this October at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C.
Los Angeles artist and musician Dani Tull has collaborated and worked with a multitude of musicians including Marnie Weber, Eric Avery, Tom Watson, Raymond Pettibon, Jad Fair, Tracii Guns, and Jim Shaw. Recently Dani has composed original scores for two films by Jim Shaw. Instruments will include a work titled, “The Feel Spectre” where a player blows into a tube connected to a small box that combines a clamshell object made from plastic cups with an internal speaker inside that when activated emits strange growls. The player can open the clamshell to shape or “wah” the sound creating Tibetan-like Monk chants.
Nam June Paik in 1994 created “Music Box Based on Piano Piece Composed in Tokyo in 1954”for “The Music Box Project,” a traveling group exhibition sponsored by the Swiss music box manufacturing company, Reuge. The video music box includes Paik’s own music composition composed while living in Tokyo, transposed from his original score onto a Reuge 144-note music box mechanism. “Music Box Based on Piano Piece Composed in Tokyo in 1954”consists of a vintage TV cabinet, Panasonic mini video camera, color monitor, and Reuge mechanism.
The “Pygmy Gamelan” from the early 1970s by San Francisco sound artist Paul DeMarinis is an installation piece for small electronic circuits. Each “Pygmy Gamelan” module is a box that responds to fluctuating electrical fields (generated by people moving around, radio transmissions, the births of distant stars & galaxies) by changing the patterns of five-note melodies it plays.
Los Angeles based artist Koh Byoung-ok makes humorous conceptual works that often express ideas around sound, human ritual, space and time. “Piano” 1997/2009 is a one-string instrument that includes a single felt hammer and piano string within the six-foot narrow horizontal wooden structure.

In the south gallery:
Guston Sondin-Klausner presents a single channel video titled “A Fossilized Moment of Doubt”. This video was produced in collaboration with the Tanzanian Department of Cultural Antiquities and Olle Moita Maasai. It traces the paleoanthropological narrative created by Louis and Mary Leakey at Olduvai Gorge through the experience of a caretaker of the site Olle Moita Maasai. Through this the video presents the narrative not as a dominate truth but as a beginning to an understanding of how western science has come to function through the current postcolonial landscape. The video was exhibited at CCA Kitakyushu Museum Japan, 2008. Guston Sondin-Klausner will have a solo exhibition at the Tanzanian National Museum, 2010.

Exhibition Dates: June 25 – August 7, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 25, 3-5pm
Closing Reception: Thursday, July 23, 3-5pm
Gallery Hours: Tuesday – Friday, 12noon – 5pm
The first exhibition located in space B215 entitled Multiplicity is a group show of painting, drawing and sculpture that will feature the works of Lynn Aldrich, Joshua Aster, Anoka Faruqee and Steve Schmidt. These artists all make use of layering repeated elements to create their work. As in nature the repetition of elements form structures that are the basis of all physical objects. In Multiplicity the artists mimic nature by composing their work using repeated elements that extend either in a plane (Aster, Faruqee, Schmidt) or three-dimensionally (Aldrich). Where these artists however diverge from nature, is that the arrangement of elements they make do not specifically follow the rules of nature. Rather the artists have “free-will” to arrange and combine elements according to their own imagination.
The second exhibition entitled From the desert to the sea, to all of Southern California will be featured concurrently at space B315 in the Blue Whale. This show will include 14 artists engaging the Southern California landscape. These artists portray the subject matter using various techniques and conceptual approaches depicting the varied landscape of the Southland.
The location for this exhibition is an unusual six-room former showroom that has distinctive architectural features reminiscent of a small European provincial museum where the architecture is preserved, and not subjugated to the display of the art. At space B315 the interior features include black and white tile floors in different patterns, walls painted and wallpapered in striking colors, and elaborate molding. This space will serve as an interesting counterpoint to the art.
This show will include paintings, drawings, mixed media and photography.

This film is for adults due to language and themes
DANTE’S INFERNO has been kicking around the cultural playground for over 700 years. But it has never before been interpreted with exquisitely hand-drawn paper puppets, brought to life using purely hand-made special effects. Until now. Rediscover this literary classic, retold in a kind of apocalyptic graphic novel meets Victorian-era toy theater. Dante’s Hell is brought to lurid 3-dimensional, high-definition life in a darkly comedic travelogue of the underworld — set against an all-too-familiar urban backdrop of used car lots, gated communities, strip malls, and the U.S. Capitol. And populated with a contemporary cast of reprobates, including famous — and infamous — politicians, presidents, popes, pimps. And the Prince of Darkness himself.

BROODWORK: CREATIVE PRACTICE AND FAMILY LIFE
TO OPEN AT CENTER FOR THE ARTS, EAGLE ROCK,
MAY 23-JUNE 21, 2009
LOS ANGELES – (April 24, 2009) Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock is pleased to present the exhibition BROODWORK: Creative Practice and Family Life, curated by Rebecca Niederlander and Iris Anna Regn. Opening on May 23rd with a reception from 3-6 pm. The idea for the exhibit came from the personal experiences of the two curators reconceiving their creative practices after becoming parents. Parenthood changes everyone; however, since artists (like Niederlander) and architects (like Regn) invent out of their own experience, the issues surrounding the complete life change of parenthood give rise to specific opportunities for rethinking and reconsidering.
Is creativity fostered by proximity with an innocent, uninformed person? Are creative questions previously thought sufficiently answered suddenly asked anew? The curators realized that their own experiences had a much broader significance and that a creative community was producing something they named BROODWORK.
BROODWORK cannot be classified along lines of gender, content or medium, but Niederlander and Regn discovered defining characteristics that often appear, even indirectly. Families and Work Institute in NYC reports that families today spend significantly more time with their children than even a decade ago. This aligns with shifts in methodology in the creative practice: work is made in small increments of time; projects are also conceived as an accumulation of parts; work is created collaboratively. There also exists an increased awareness of being the “responsible” generation, where ethical and environmental concerns can become a focus or ancillary to it, such as a simple shift towards safe materials. Another type of work takes on the topic of children or childhood, with the specific viewpoint of a creative person who is a parent.
The exhibit provides some of the questions and answers that have emerged from a distinguished group of artists, architects and designers who are the parents of children aged 1-10. There will also be a series of social events that deal with the themes of the show, including readings and documentary films. BROODWORK at the Center for the Arts will be the first in a series of analogous exhibitions in different cities, and Niederlander and Regn plan to show BROODWORK as a book by 2011.
Designers and Architects include: Hadley & Peter Arnold, Barbara Bestor, Julliette Bellocq, Kim Colin/Industrial Facility, David Fletcher, Iris Anna Regn & Tim Durfee, Linda Taalman & Alan Koch. Visual artists include: Lauren Bon and The Metabolic Studio, Jemima Brown, Rebecca Campbell, Jamison Carter, Seonna Hong, Soo Kim, Brandon Lattu, Rebecca Niederlander, Laura Owens & Edgar Bryan, Michael Pierzynski, Eli Pulsinelli & Allen Compton, Lucas Reiner, Denise Uyehara & Natalie Nguyen, Alexis Weidig, Patty Wickman, Patrick Wilson
The exhibition is sponsored in part by Green to Grow; Laura Gabbert, director/producer of the feature documentary No Impact Man; Cristi Lyon for Pomegranate Glass; Little Flower Candy Co. Café; Plan It Green Printing; Mia Sushi; Cafe De Leche, and The Loft Hair Lounge.

Mysterium is a group exhibition featuring four photographers whose imagery conjures bewilderment, performance, spectacle and trickery. The exhibition’s title refers to Alexander Scriabin’s unfinished work in which the Russian composer aimed to create an over the top performance which required “special artists and a completely new culture” to participate. The dramatic implications of Scriabin’s performance serve as a tongue-in-cheek take on the seemingly dramatic, yet playful conversation the photographers in this exhibition engage in.

April 14 - May 8, 2009
Reception: April 14, 6-8pm
Structural Integrity is a group exhibition featuring Los Angeles based artists who reveal and obscure meaning through constructed forms and layered surfaces.
Working three-dimensionally, both David McDonald and Jennifer Vanderpool use additive processes to build high and expand volumes. McDonald’s progressive transitions with painterly colors show the measure of time and create luscious places. Vanderpool’s obsessive approach, that employs a range materials and a wild color palette, produces fragments of morphing gardens made from imaginary terrain.
The two-dimensional works of Barbara Kerwin and Christopher Pate are composed with irregular grids. In Kerwin’s acrylic, oil and wax on panel pieces topographic perspectives of rectilinear planes appear to hover in a color-field atmosphere. Pate uses painting and collage to playfully distort the order of found maps and silkscreened patterns and to build narrative tension; his reorganization of imagery creates a new experience out of familiar notions.

at the Brewery Project, 1993-2007: the Finale
at Armory Center for the Arts, December 7, 2008-March 1, 2009
Opening reception, Saturday, December 6th, 7-9p
at the Brewery Project contributed to the history of contemporary art in Southern California by being an experimental, artist-organized exhibition showcase that lasted almost fifteen years. This Finale was directed by John O'Brien, the founder of at the Brewery Project. It includes 10 artist-organized exhibitions in which a number of artists who created shows for the Project have updated them for the Finale.
at the Brewery Project was an exhibition series that focused on artist-organized exhibitions for emerging and established artists between 1993 and 2007. It was primarily centered on L.A. artists, occasionally functioning as a site for international exhibitions interlinking the art of different countries through an exchange of artists and artwork. The director of the Project was John O'Brien, but the specific exhibitions were each directed by the artist-organizers who proposed them. The project was located in the historic 1904 John Parkinson Edison Electric Building #3 on the premises of The Brewery complex in downtown Los Angeles.
The exhibition at the Brewery Project, 1993-2007: the Finale mirrors this legacy by presenting new work by over fifty artists who previously exhibited at the Brewery Project. This exhibition will fill the entire Armory building and include a broad range of work, including that of ten former artist-organizers Wendy Adest; Jamison Carter, Margaret Griffith and Thomas Müller; April Durham; Jennifer Faist; Karen Koblitz; Noel Korten; Mara Lonner; Mery Lynn McCorkle; John O'Brien; and Joseph Santarromana. Along with the artwork by the artist-organizers, there is artwork by Lynn Aldrich, Tetsuji Aono, Maura Bendett, Waylon Dobson, Daniel Brodo, Nancy Buchanan and Carolyn Potter, Eileen Cowin, Merion Estes, Samantha Fields, Will Fowler, Christie Frields, Keiko Fukazawa, Benicia Gantner, Phyllis Green, Iva Gueorguieva, Wendy Heldmann, Kymber Hol, Lies Kraal, Robert Levine, Keith Lord, Daniel Marlos, Mike McMillin, Kristen Morgin, Linda Parnell, Jill Poyourow, Jessica Newman-Skrentny, Rebecca Niederlander, Aaron Noble, Laura Parker, Stephanie Pryor, Rebecca Ripple, Shelby Roberts, Steve Roden, William Roper, Evelyn Serrano, Fran Siegel, Pam Strugar, Erika Suderburg, Roy Thurston, Shirley Tse, and Andre Yi.
A color-illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition and the entire history of at the Brewery Project is available for viewing online at www.attheBreweryProject.com. During the course of the exhibition a DVD including interviews with the ten artist-organizers will be playing continuously in the gallery education space.
This exhibition is made possible by generous grants from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Carlson Industries, LLC. It will be on view in the Armory at 145 North Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, and will be open Tuesday - Sunday, noon-5 p.m. Admission is free. The Armory is easily accessible from the Gold Line Memorial Park Station in Pasadena.

“The show has a dark ambience. Even when humor or beauty is at the core of a drawing, print, sculpture, photograph or painting, it is a humor that is slyly grim or a beauty that is painfully sublime. Many of the works clearly express a specific idea while maintaining a mysterious edge.” -- Juror Kim Abeles

fakespace LA is proud to present Shipped Shapes, a group show consisting of twelve young artists from New York, Kansas City, Chicago and Los Angeles. In curating the show, Elliott Oliver set out to bridge the gap between each artists complex intellectual relationship to their work and the superficial nature in which the viewer experiences the same work. Invariably something will get lost in the mail. These scrambled messages and crossed wires are opportunities for clever interpretations and curious new meanings.
Please join us for the opening reception of this exceptional group show on Saturday, September 20th, 2008 from 5–9pm. Open by appointment through September 30, 2008. fakespace LA gallery is located at 2401 S. Santa Fe Ave #104, in Downtown Los Angeles, within the Santa Fe Artist Colony. Free gated parking available at the Colony.

July 19 - August 16
Reception: July 19th, 5-7pm
In his first solo exhibition at Rosamund Felsen Gallery, Gegam Kacherian presents a series of paintings. Kacherian combines gestural strokes of color and the creation of a "groundless" background that suggests an empty universe. From there, familiar shapes emerge and create dreamlike relationships with each other and with the viewer. His blend of abstract and representational images can be seen as a metaphor for the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds. In Art in America, Michael Duncan states, "Without descending into the cartoonish, his hyperactive depictions have a fresh organic exuberance not unlike that of early works by Lari Pittman and Inka Essenhigh.
Please join us for the artist's reception on Saturday, July 19, 2008 from 5 - 7 pm.
Gallery hours are 10-5:30, Tuesday-Saturday.

Annie Shaw
Hey, You Never Know.
Monte Vista
Located at 5442 Monte Vista St (at Ave. 55), Los Angeles, CA 90042. Monte Vista St is two blocks west of Figueroa St.
Monte Vista is proud to present “Hey, You Never Know.,” an absurd exploration into the geographical distribution of luck and money, faith and fate starting in the east and ending in the west by Annie Shaw.
"Hey, You Never Know." is the promotional slogan for the New York lottery, including Mega Millions. A multi-state lottery, Mega Millions draws its capital from twelve states, two of which are New York and California. Since migrating to the east coast three years ago, Annie has found herself living next to the Mega Millions billboards in Manhattan and in Brooklyn. Twice a week, as the number indicating the jackpot would change from low to high, she imagined anticipation rising and falling at each transition. And then once in a blue moon, the number would drop drastically, and she knew someone's life had changed.
For the duration of the exhibition, Annie will dedicate her time at Monte Vista as an artist-in-residence, and a Mega Millions participant. Each day, she will purchase one Mega Millions ticket at one location in one zip code in Greater Los Angeles. Visitors to the installation are invited to join the lottery pool. Each additional dollar will bring her to purchase one more ticket in a different location. Any winnings will be evenly divided amongst all the participants who contribute to the pool. A series of images – video, photograph and sculpture, will be developed and displayed throughout this process.
Please join us for the following events:
Saturday, June 7 at 7 pm : “How to Win the Lottery” : a lecture by Melissa Brown
Based in New York, Melissa has spent the past few years fascinated with the Powerball games and how to measure and capitalize on their idiosyncrasies. She has incorporated this numerological science into both her drawings and her purchases in the New York State Lotto. Serving as the official spiritual guide of “Hey, You Never Know,” Melissa has provided Annie with a set of numbers, calculated from the formula, in order to test their probability of winning against QuikPick. She will be at Monte Vista in person to share the intricacies of her system for beating the lottery.
Friday, June 27, 7pm : Final Drawing and Closing Party
Celebrate the closing of the exhibition and watch the live broadcast of the Mega Millions drawing with Annie on site. Witness the fate of the last ticket purchased by the lottery pool and view all the materials developed during the four-week project.
Annie Shaw is the founder of Leefahsalung at the New China Town Barber Shop, a site-specific, curatorial and collaborative project series challenging the role of art production and its relationship to local identities. A catalog detailing its five-year history is currently in production, to be published this coming fall. She moved to New York in 2005 to study at Columbia University, where she completed her MFA in 2007. We are thrilled that she has returned to present her first solo project in the Southland.

INLANDIA
Wignall Museum Chaffey College
Monday, January 28 through Saturday, March 1, 2008.
Artists’ Talk and Reception: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 from 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum are pleased to present Inlandia. Like the 2007-2008 College Book of the same name, Inlandia assembles a group of artists who explores disparate ideas that make the Inland Empire a place with a cultural landscape all its own. The artists in Inlandia are based in TX, MN, OR, NY and CA, but regardless of their proximity to the Inland area, their works are informed directly by this regions political or social landscape or investigate ideas relevant to the IE community. In Inlandia explores the Inland Empire’s status as the fastest growing region in Southern California, the resulting suburban sprawl and ecological impact on the area, the beauty and inspiration of the landscape in the sprawling IE territory, and the characters that make this region unique and diverse. Artists utilize various media to comment on, record and realize the Inland Empire.
Inlandia features work by Edith Abeyta (CA), Adam Belt (CA), Sasha Bezzubov (NY), Margarita Cabrera (TX), Misty Cervantes(CA), Samantha Fields (CA), The Institute for Figuring (CA), Roman Jaster (CA), Sant Khalsa (CA), Kimberly Kolba (OR), Amy Maloof (CA), Michelle Mayer (CA), Thomas McGovern (CA), Jessica Newman-Skrentny (CA), David Rathman (MN), Alex Slade(CA), Jessica Swanson (CA), and Roger Tilton (CA).

"Set a course for wayward schemes", 2008
Opening reception Thursday January 10, 6-9pm
BGFA, 5th and Main Streets, Downtown LA
"Set a course for wayward schemes" is a site-specific architectural installation assembled from thousands of strands of flagging tape, a colorful plastic ribbon utilized by surveyors to demarcate space on construction sites, mass-produced in a variety of bright colors. These ribbons are arranged into an interference stripe pattern inside the street-level windows that wrap around the corner of 5th and Main Streets. Florescent lights are mounted to the floor and ceiling, causing the piece to glow from within and illuminate the translucent material.
A depth of about five feet separates the front and rear planes of stripes. This distance between the front and rear planes will create an optical illusion of kinetic movement as viewers walk or drive past it. This phenomenon occurs as a result of the combination of our sensory system with the physics of light. Often disorientation is experienced when the stripe patterns intersect and appear to slide in opposite directions. The end result resembles an updated three-dimensional version of string art that shares the seemingly kinetic territory of the Op Art and Light+Space movements. These site-specific projects are also strongly influenced by minimalism, but retain a sense of play and delight.
This project was made possible by a generous material donation by Irwin Industrial Supply Company and a Durfee Artists' Resource for Completion Grant.

ANOTHER YEAR IN LA is very proud to present, BARBARA ZUCKER:TIME SENSITIVE.
Press Release
This will be the second exhibition in the history of our gallery that we have
had the opportunity to present a forty year survey of a remarkable artist who
has never had a solo show in Los Angeles.
For BARBARA ZUCKER:TIME SENSITIVE, the gallery space will be transformed into a
sculptural environment (not an installation or site specific; two terms the
artist says she loves to hate) replete with wallpaper, furniture and sculptural
objects that reinforce the Time Sensitive experience. The show reflects a
survey a sculpture works by Ms. Zucker from the forty year period of 1966 –
2006. This exhibition will be accompanied by a song (played intermittently) by
Barbara’s late aunt entitled, “Painting Pictures”, from 1950, about famous
people in Hollywood making art as a fashionable activity during that era. This
song becomes ironic as well since despite a considerable showing record, this is
Barbara Zucker’s Los Angeles debut solo exhibition.
Zucker’s work has been referenced to ask and answer questions at the same from
works emanating from beauty and plastic surgery practices to the observation
of facial aging as the blueprint for the materialization of both small and
large scale sculptural works.

Performers: David Meyer (cello) & PJ Wyderka (double bass)
The cello and bass, like the two display cases in the Seattle installation, are juxtaposed at either end of the central chamber. Their sound travels between and illuminates the central space. The music opens to the sky presenting aural jewels.

Mnemosyne, a CD of her chamber music, was released in 2002 by Motion Ensemble in Canada. Her works for duo guitar were released on FOOD: New Music for Guitar Duo in 2005. Her book of graffiti photography IN + ON is available at lulu.com. She is currently on faculty at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Atomic Particulars: New Work by David Adey

Opening reception: Saturday, September 8th, 6 to 9pm

Gallery Hours: by appointment
Spacecraft Gallery 2007 monthly exhibitions continue with works by San Diego artist David Adey.
The works created by David Adey inspire a sense of strange regality - the sacred and profane, the high and low of culture, often requiring the artist an epic provision of labor and faith in the contemporary processes of art making. With this new body of work, as with much of his art, each of Adey's pieces make specific demands of the creative process, viewing, and critique of the work. All of this effort would be crazy-making and exhausting but for the transcendent nature of these objects and bizarre allusions which flood forth. To this end, Dave is a master of the experiential jolt and the end visual effect within his work.
In 2002, David received his M.F.A. in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He actively exhibits his sculpture and drawings and has had recent shows in Los Angeles, San Diego, Detroit, Finland, and Berlin.
David has an active studio practice pursuing sculpture, furniture design and graphic design.

MORYORK Gallery is proud to present a collaborative exhibition by artists Autumn Harrison and Sophia Allison featuring a large wall installation and five abstract mixed-media sculptures.
Materials, structure, pattern and metamorphosis are the focus of this first collaborative project between the artists. Working with the initial concept of a rectangular box, the artists dissect the object’s design, dimensions, and materials, and create works that juxtapose the original uses of these components. The box’s initial function as a container is turned inside-out and gives way to organic shapes and spatial manipulation. What once contained space now becomes flat and small details become central themes. Works are connected through similar form, content and media, while each work relies on direction from the preceding work for its final aesthetic result. Many of the materials and patterns are repeated throughout the exhibition, becoming increasingly embellished or exaggerated within each piece. The large wall installation, Rind, features over 300 individual hand-cut patterns from materials including felt, sandpaper, shopping bags and gift wrap. Membrane is a true collaboration that reflects a new direction for both artists.
