SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "(Re)imagining Home: On Care for Our Common Home"
DESCRIPTION:18th Street Arts Center is pleased to present the exhibition (Re)imagining Home: On Care for Our Common Home\, curated by Emma Balda and Venus Tung-yan Lau\, on view in the Kitchen Lab at 18th Street Arts Center’s Airport Campus (3026 Airport Ave. in Santa Monica) from August 22\, 2022 – July 31\, 2023.\nWhat is home? \nOver the last two years\, our notions of home have been challenged\, transformed\, and clarified. The pandemic has simultaneously forced us to shrink our physical home\, while also asking us to expand our sense of home to now include people\, food\, rituals\, and ideas. We have also seen our relationship with and to the Earth change. We have seen that our sense of home must expand to include the Earth and the way we care for it.\nAs we attempt to create a shared home\, the first step in that is defining what home means to us. This project asked the 18th Street community to examine the idea of home outside of the domestic sense. They were asked to identify people\, memories\, materials\, places\, movements\, or concepts that resonate as home to them. These ideas\, in combination with art that reflects on this concept\, will then be displayed on the monitor in the Kitchen Lab at the Airport Campus. This project relied heavily on 18th Street’s theme “Our Shared Home\,” while also deconstructing and defining what that sense of home means so that we can better understand what it means to share this space with one another. \nThis exhibition highlights the artworks of Alexandra Dillon\, Christopher Tin\, Dan Kwong\, Dan S Wang\, David McDonald\, Deborah Lynn Irmas\, Debra Disman\, Edi Dai\, Elham Sagharchi\, Gwen Samuels\, Jeff Beale\, Julia Michelle Dawson\, Lionel Popkin\, Luciana Abait\, M Susan Broussard\, Melinda Smith Altshuler\, Michael Masucci\, Po-Hao Chi\, Rebecca Youssef\, and Yvette Gellis\, all artists in residence at 18th Street Arts Center.\nExplore a 360 view of the virtual exhibition HERE.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "Swept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate(s)"
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nON SITE: ANNENBERG COMMUNITY BEACH HOUSE\nAnnenberg – Swept Way: Love Letters to a Surrogate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganized by\nWarren Neidich\, Christina Mossaides Strassfield\, Anuradha Vikram and Rene Petropoulos  2022-23\n “Swept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate/s” is a community oriented artistic project that aims to create a transcontinental heartbeat across America. It is hoped that through its combined gestures and performances\, a sense of solidarity\, so desperately missing today\, will emerge with which to confront the ecological catastrophe at our doorstep.”\n65 Los Angeles County artists will present live performances over Earth Day Weekend: April 22 and 23\, 2023 at the Santa Monica State Beach near the Annenberg Community Beach House on the Pacific Ocean.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI am thrilled to participate in:\nSwept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate(s)\, Main Beach\, East Hampton\, NY / Santa Monica Beach\, Santa Monica\, CA\nCurators: Warren Neidich\, Christina Mossaides Strassfield\, Anuradha Vikram and Rene Petropoulos  2022-23\n\nThe syncopated sound of the surf will provide the background acousmatic. This poetic project in some ways harkens back to the Happenings staged by Allan Kaprow in 1966 all through the South Fork: https://alastairgordonwalltowall.com/2018/02/07/gas-i-am-a-happener-1966-east-hampton/ \nArtist Warren Neidich co- curated the successful Drive by Art event in 2020.\nThe “SWEPT AWAY” project is co-curated and co-coordinated by Christina Strassfield\, Museum Director/Chief Curator of Guild Hall\, Anuradha Vikram\, Los Angeles based independent curator\, and Los Angeles based conceptual artist Renee Petropoulos\, plus administrative coordination by Julie McKim. \n65 artists living in on the East End and 65 west coast artists are participating in this community and family-based Art Happening. In the spring the reverse will occur; with East End artists writing love letters to LA artists to be executed at Will Rogers State Beach\, Santa Monica in conjunction with the 18th Street Arts Center. \nArtists will create ephemeral performative gestures of immateriality or time-based works on the beach. This could be making a sandcastle\, singing a song\, reciting poetry\, dancing\, make a sculpture that interacts with the tide\, collecting shells\, doing a light projection\,\, picking up garbage on the beach\, etc.  The works could be political and deal with global warming and its effects on the water level or could be apolitical and talk about the natural beauty of the real in opposition to the digital and virtual. \nThe importance of biodegradable\, non-toxic materials will be essential as well as leaving the beach pristine after the work. \nEach East Coast artist has been linked up to a West Coast artist who will email instructions – a love letter – for a work of art that the local artist will incorporate into their performative piece\, acting as a surrogate. In the Spring will occur the reverse\, with East Coast Artists sending Love Letters to their West Coast counterparts\, who will use it as a springboard to create offerings to happewn at Santa Monica’s Will Rogers State Beach.\nThe list of East End and West Coast artist pairings is as follows: \nEAST END ARTISTS  > LOS ANGELES ARTISTS\nPamella Allen > Jade Gordon + Megan Whitmarsh\nSuzanne Anker > Margarethe Drexel\nElena Bajo  > Jasmine Orpilla\nLillian Ball > Dana Duff\nMonica Banks > Jamie Ross\nDianne Blell > Lisa Anne Auerbach\nScott Bluedorn > Robby Herbst\nSanford Biggers > Sterling Wells\nMegan Chaskey > Lionel Popkin\nScott Chaskey > Kathryn Andrews\nPhilippe Cheng > David Horvitz\nAndrea Cote > Nina Waisman\nIvana Dama > Rodrigo Arruda\nPeter Dayton > Anita Pace\nKatrina Del Mar > Taisha Paggett + Meital Yaniv\nJeremy Dennis > Debra Disman\nSabra Moon Elliot > Rochelle Fabb\nCarol Edwards > Pamela Hudson\nEva Faye > Patty Chang + David Kelly\nSaskia Friedrich > Fran Siegel\nMargaret Garrett > Susan Kleinberg\nVeronica Gonzales > Cassandra Marketo\nKimberly Goff > Cheri Gaulke + Xochi Maberry-Gaulke\nJeremy Grosvenor > Vincent Johnson\nJerelyn Hanrahan > Andrew Berardini\nCandace Hill Montgomery > Anna Joy Springer\nVirva Hinnemo > Sam Shoemaker\nAlice Hope > Krysten Cunningham\nErica-Lynn Huberty > Sandeep Mukherjee\nTerri Hyland > Joseph Mosconi\nRuby Jackson > Alice Könitz\nIlya + Emelia Kabakov > Carolyn Castano\nCarlos Lama > Elisabeth Houston\nLaurie Lambrecht > May Sun\nJoseph Liatela > Badly Licked Bear\nDonald Lipski > Raul Baltazar\nSutton Lynch > Yrneh Gabon Brown\nJosephine Meckseper > Jiayun Chen\nPaul Miller > Lucia Santini Ribisi\nTanya Minhas > Allison Wyper\nRichard Mothes > Kristin Calabrese\nMichelle Murphy > Sarah Beadle\nJill Musnicki > Victoria Vesna\nEileen O’Kane Kornreich > Iman Person\nDalton Portella > Ryat Yezbick\nJaanika Peerna > Marcus Kuiland Nazario\nToni Ross > Sharon Barnes\nDavid Rothenberg > Beatriz Cortez\nWill Ryan > Jody Zellen\nSara Salaway > Melinda Altshuler\nMatthew Satz > Katie Grinnan\nBastienne Schmidt > Jisoo Chung\nBarry Schwabsky > David Schafer\nChristine Sciulli > Karen Lofgren\nArlene Slavin > Jenny Yurshansky\nJanice Stanton > Kearra Gopee\nChristina Sun > Catherine Scott\nCarol Szymanski  > Xiouping\nSara VanDerBeek > Alicia Serling\nRyan Wallace > Joshua Aster\nRoss Watts > Justine Harari\nAllan Wexler > Dan Kwong\nNina Yankowitz > Francesca Gabbiani\nDarius Yektai > Barbara McCarren + Jud Fine\nAlmond Zigmund > Marissa Mandler \n\nABOUT WARREN NEIDICH \nWarren Neidich uses written texts and neon-light sculptures to create cross-pollinating conceptual works that reflect upon situations at the border zones of art\, science\, and social justice.
