In the beginning: new paintings by david lloyd
September 6 - October 18th, 2024
David Lloyd (b.1955) is a Los Angeles artist who describes his current work as exploring the sublime and the ridiculous in equal parts, a combination of “serious mysticism and f-d up pseudo-science” that comments on the overabundance of competing didactic languages in our current social and political landscape. Though primarily known as a painter, Lloyd incorporates a wide range of media in pursuit of his conceptual goals, ranging from collage, fiberglass and resin, monoprint, paint of a variety of kinds, xerox transfer, water based medium, spar varnish, dirt, and used synthetic boat sails.

LOADED OBJECTS AT SPRING/BREAK ART SHOW
February 16th - February 20th, 2022
Work by Sasha Filimonov
Curated by Pietro Alexander
Art is an object with stakes. When the Art object transcends material boundaries, it’s physical presence impacts the psychological, spiritual and political realm. Art today doesn’t have stakes. The object in contemporary art, whether it’s painting (name painter) or sculpture (Damien Hirst’s salty semen), is an empty thing. A vessel that is engaged with to identify social and cultural boundaries. In signaling towards it’s context, contemporary art is paralyzed by it’s own self awareness. Art, robbed of it’s objecthood, has become a simulacrum for its audience to identify with. A language with which the art world reacts to the world of everything else.

June 5 - June 28, 2021
Featuring works by

Eight artists emerged from a paralyzed social existence to find that the familiar order has been stripped to its bones. There is visible evidence of strain. As the floodgates of physical culture open for the new decade, these artists contribute to the deluge totems of celebration, playfulness and curiosity, as well as a sense of yearning for innocence lost.
DANIEL HEALEY: 3M (letraset)
December 11 2020 - February 28 2021
3M (Letraset) is an extension of Healey’s engagement with the historical Postwar Avant-Garde as he remixes found objects and mundane materials, such as 3M Scotch tape, old consumer catalogues, vintage papers, and Letraset into new, unexpected forms. In the two series presented, 3M Tape paintings and Letraset drawings, Healey’s experiments engage with the aesthetic strategies and procedures of his artistic predecessors—such as Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg and John Cage—which challenge notions of the self-contained and autonomous by employing Dada-like chance operations as foils to subjective decision making.
