OCTober 18 - NOVember 26
MAIN GALLERY: Baker’s Dozen
A survey of thirteen Southern California contemporary art practices
Baker’s Dozen acts as a review of sorts; a survey show of thirteen artists whose work made an impression upon the curators in the last year. These thirteen reflect current directions in Southern Californian contemporary art practices.
Historically, a Baker’s Dozen is thirteen instead of twelve, as British bakers in the 13th century gave customers an extra loaf of bread to avoid being punished by King Henry III for cheating the public when serving up notoriously light loaves. The selections within this exhibition reflect our own preconceptions and biases, centering on artistic endeavors at this moment in history.
Participating Artists: Brenna Youngblood, Brian Hubble, Canyon Castator, Joaquin Boz, Jason Lahr, Jenny Rask, Joshua Nathanson, Justin Lyons, Nadine Schelbert, Nick Modrzewski, Rema Ghuloum, Rosalie Smith, Shannon Freshwater
GALLERY TWO: Code Collapse - Bachrun Lomele and Perin Mahler
A two person exhibition featuring artists Bachrun Lomele and Perin Mahler.
”Code Collapse is a concept in tech where most of the code in a piece of software gets hidden and just a synopsis or abbreviation remains visible. The actual concept could refer to how information can be edited to such a degree that truths can be obscured by falsehoods or conspiracies. It could also suggest the breakdown of moral or legal codes that were previously considered normative. Lastly, it relates to our work on a purely visual level, referring to the collapsed structures that are common to both of our work.”
