Guest artists Jason Manley, Cole M. James, and Nano Rubio will be teaching a workshop this Sunday July 10 at L.A. Contemporary Exhibition's Hollywood headquarters. This diverse group of artists will be providing instruction and inspiration to attendees, and materials, as always, are provided. The workshop is free to the public and all are welcome! Revisions of LA operates with the belief that everyone should have access to art education and that art should be part of our daily lives. </div><div><br /></div><div>Guest Artists:</div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Jason Manley</b> lives in Los Angeles and creates drawings, sculptures and installations that explore psychological and political queries of space. His work is included in three summer exhibitions in Los Angeles including "Home on La Grange" at Jaus Gallery, "the Free Church" at Public Fiction (the museum of) and "California Adulterated Landscapes and Deflated Icons" at Raid Projects. He has had solo exhibitions at Valerie Lambert Gallery in Brussels, Belgium and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson, Arizona. He has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Arizona Commission of the Arts, and has been awarded residencies at Skowhegan School of Art, the Bemis Center of Contemporary Art, and Illinois State University.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cole M James</b> is an African American Artist living and working in Los Angeles. Her work articulates the presence of an ever changing cultural divergence by combining the iconography of suspended figures with the faux finish of pop culture. Each piece is created to capture a suspended state of growth in which the branch is cut off from tree trunk and root system. She uses the tree as a metaphor for her own personal experience and human social development. Cole attended Claremont Graduate University where she received a Masters in Fine Arts in Painting & Installation. Some of her accomplishments include the Alfred B. Friedman Grant, Walker Parker Artist Fellowship,Mignon Schweitzer Award. Some of her most recent exhibitions include solo shows at the Robert V Fullerton Museum and East Gallery as well as several group shows in Los Angeles,New York & Seoul Korea.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Nano Rubio</b> graduated with an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in 2011 and received a BA in studio art from Cal State Bakersfield. His most recent paintings, which suggest voids, scrapes, and areas of intense vibration through the use of intricate abstract marks, can be seen through the end of June at Autonomie gallery in downtown Los Angeles. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div>ASAPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03267421121524019133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555481192083461629.post-52293649718661370102011-02-17T10:55:00.000-08:002011-02-17T11:04:20.130-08:00Re-Visions of LA @ LACE on 3/6<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiISrI61pD1YYr0impHOoJReFkx-4QI96QrHzr_anqTx-2YIezXZFHoTWPHhGgN4eObL8oIjGSWB7jO7jhUOEimr_JBarwFVi4fU_y4Mn3TJCIIM6zKTPUFmnbfIwDRZbFmtskl4KV5Ag/s1600/photo.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiISrI61pD1YYr0impHOoJReFkx-4QI96QrHzr_anqTx-2YIezXZFHoTWPHhGgN4eObL8oIjGSWB7jO7jhUOEimr_JBarwFVi4fU_y4Mn3TJCIIM6zKTPUFmnbfIwDRZbFmtskl4KV5Ag/s1600/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">LACE is located in the heart of</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "> <st1:city st="on"><st1:city st="on"></st1:city></st1:city></span></span><st1:city st="on"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Hollywood</span></span></st1:city><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">, an ideal place to observe and contemplate the</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">collision</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "> </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">of</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "> <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on"><st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on"></st1:city></st1:place></st1:place></st1:city></span></span><st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Los Angeles</span></span></st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">; its intricate networks, humming with activity as resources are transferred and spaces are reconstructed through use or development.<u1:p></u1:p></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; "><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">ASAP’s 2011 Re-Visions of LA drawing workshops will build conversations around how our urban environments are constructed and what that means to our every day lives.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15pt; "><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Each month a new group of artists will spend an afternoon at LACE providing free drawing classes.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>All levels and ages are welcome as we talk about <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on"><st1:place st="on"><st1:city st="on"><st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:city></st1:city></st1:place></st1:place></st1:city><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>while drawing our surroundings.

Through these workshops, they will bring attention to the relationships between architecture and living organisms within the dense streets of Hollywood which surround LACE. People, plants and animals form connections between disparate parts of urban space by inhabiting fissures, crossing barriers, or obeying restrictions within pubic space. How do living things and man-made structures affect one another in urban space? How do people and other animals interact with a line of trees or hedge as opposed to an expansive “natural” area or a park? If nature is inserted or left to thrive within urban space, what effect does it have socially and culturally? These are some questions they hope to explore through drawing workshops that strive to examine the way people, animals and plants make connections and barriers through the urban fabric of Los Angeles.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Jessica Pezalla</b><span class="Apple-style-span"> recently moved to Los Angeles after completing a yearlong Staff Artist in Residence position at Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT.

The work investigates the potential for drawing to scramble and expand the boundaries of design, architecture, and art. He distills the highly stylized forms of late modernist American design so they begin to operate in the realm of symbols and icons. By accepting drawing as operating in a conceptual space, he explores experimental loops between visual logic, drafting and other mediums.</span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Erica Ryan Stallones</b><span class="Apple-style-span"> is a Los Angeles based artist currently completing her MFA at Claremont Graduate University.

As a youth, she grew up consuming industrial food. During her teen years, she endeavored to bake a homemade pie- a tasty treat she could not recall ever eating before. A month later, she swept the local county fair with her baked-from-scratch peach pie! Ever since, she has been curious about how food is grown, the politics of its production, and its preparation and consumption. Jen began pickling in the summer of 2009 in homage to her recently deceased grandmother, and has been making sauerkraut for many years since. She received her BA in American Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park and her MFA from the University of California, Irvine. With her post-punk band The Quails, she has played music halls and street protests, designed posters, zines and anti-war ephemera, and recorded three albums.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><br /></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7SzlTPeIGpaYL-tky8y1WzOxdeEZdBQ0WnEtRqBCaIIJTaUHadMLGJtlJttBfwXPmJ9MwD_-9NeitEOTIQWX586oqKXwP_cBNwICP5umUa2KGW2Pb0Wfde2f3GuAR34grs_pXKWKXPg/s1600/490735038_f8b2dfcb8c.jpg"><img style="border:none;"style="" 0px="" auto="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq7SzlTPeIGpaYL-tky8y1WzOxdeEZdBQ0WnEtRqBCaIIJTaUHadMLGJtlJttBfwXPmJ9MwD_-9NeitEOTIQWX586oqKXwP_cBNwICP5umUa2KGW2Pb0Wfde2f3GuAR34grs_pXKWKXPg/s320/490735038_f8b2dfcb8c.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507003813537859842" border="0" /></a></div>ASAPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03267421121524019133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555481192083461629.post-77344594814148451942010-07-19T09:48:00.001-07:002010-07-19T09:49:54.472-07:00UPCOMING: SATURDAY AUGUST 14 | World’s Worst Words: Engaging People in Social Change through Performance w/ Slanguage<b>Saturday 14 August</b><br />

WWW | World’s Worst Words: Engaging People in Social Change through Performance w/ Slanguage<br />
<br />
This workshop, led by Karla Diaz from Slanguage, asks audiences to engage in examining performance by guiding students to explore negative words in contemporary pop culture. Diaz will introduce drop-in audiences to a variety of performance techniques that Slanguage members use to critically explore content and context in an effort for social change. Participants will learn and practice performance techniques based on theater practices and spoken word. Please expect to be participating physically at the level that is comfortable for you, and dress accordingly for movement.<br />
<br />
Founded in 2002 by Karla Diaz and Mario Ybarra, Jr., Slanguage is an artist group headquartered in Wilmington, California, a harbor area of Los Angeles. Currently, members make artwork, curate exhibitions, coordinate events, and lead art-education workshops. A diverse group at various points in their careers, Slanguage includes teenagers, street artists, and established mid – to late career artists, the majority of whom live and work in the greater Los Angeles area, especially Wilmington.<br />
<br />
Slanguage bases their practice on a three-pronged approach to art-making to include education, community-building, and interactive exhibitions. Focusing on art education, the collective has organized numerous artist residencies in museums across the United States and abroad. Fostering dialog about the meaning and value of contemporary art, Slanguage has used their studio space and resources to cultivate relationships between diverse artists, students, communities, and organizations. And, creating artworks that have ranged from multimedia installations to performances, public events, and workshops, the collective has enriched, inspired, and provoked viewers’ imaginations through local, national, and international exhibitions.<br />
<br />
Slanguage’s recent projects include Engagement Party, a three-month residency with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2009); Sweeney Tate (2007) for the Tate Modern, London; and The Peacock Doesn’t See Its Own Ass/Let’s Twitch Again: Operation Bird Watching in London (2006) for the Serpentine Gallery, London. In 2009, the collective hosted workshops at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, as part of the Slanguage Teen Art Council.ASAP Los Angeleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13203215208441183546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555481192083461629.post-231376205375679132010-07-06T15:40:00.000-07:002010-10-26T00:12:44.496-07:00Relay Drawing, July 10<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Saturday 10 July 2010, 1:00-3:00</b></span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">re-visions of LA w/ Lily Simonson, Elana Melissa Hill and Mara Lonner</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Join us as we re-imagine the Los Angeles landscape as a super-urban metropolis and/or a plein air utopia.

<span dir="ltr" id=":t2"><b>Christopher Russell</b> employs photography, bookmaking, writing, drawing, and digital-media printmaking to illustrate his explorations of the darker side of the human psyche. Investigating, and sometimes fabricating, the reasons people live or behave outside of socially acceptable margins, his work offers visions of what many would deem dirty, broken, useless, or criminal. Through the lens of a present-day flâneur, viewers are made privy to Russell’s observant, analytical wanderings along the physical and emotional outskirts of society. He has exhibited at the UCLA Hammer Museum, the Acuna Hansen Gallery, and the Circus Gallery. He received his </span><span dir="ltr" id=":t2">MFA from the Art Center College of Design </span><span dir="ltr" id=":t2">and </span><span dir="ltr" id=":t2">BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts.</span><span dir="ltr" id=":t2"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/detail/exhibition_id/148">Click here to see the UCLA Hammer exhibition.</a></span><br />

<b>Liz Glynn</b> is an LA-based artist who explores the ambition of empire and the pleasure of ruin. Her practice seeks to embody dynamic cycles of growth and decay, and to propose direct action through sculptural material. Recent works include the 24 Hour Roman Reconstruction Project at Machine Project, and the In the Beginning is the End, a Processional for Los Angeles in Chinatown. Her work has also been presented at venues including Acuna-Hansen Gallery (LA), John Connolly Presents (NYC), and Beta Level (Los Angeles), and will be included in an upcoming project at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. She has attended residencies at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Vermont Studio Center, and soon will travel to O’artoteca in Milan. Her work has been reviewed in Art Lies and the Los Angeles Times. She received her MFA from California Institute of the Arts, and her BA from Harvard College.<br />
<b>John Knuth</b> is the Director of Country Club Los Angeles. He recently closed Circus Gallery after 3 legendary years. He is an artist in recovery with occasional relapses. <br />
<b>Joseph Mosconi</b> is a writer and linguist based in Los Angeles. He is co-editor of the art & poetry journal Area Sneaks and is co-director of the Poetic Research Bureau, a literary service in the public domain. His work has appeared in Try, Shampoo, Abraham Lincoln, Fillip, Triple Canopy, The Physical Poets vol. 2, Primary Writing and other journals and magazines.<br />
<b>Robert Nichols</b> is Adjuncy Assistant Professor of Cinema at Mission College in Sylmar, and is completing his doctoral dissertation in Media and Communications at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland. <br />
<b>Suzanne Oshinsky</b> is a Los Angeles based artist. She received her BFA at Otis College of Art and Design in 2005. Her work focuses on cognition and the social phenomenology of perception.<br />
<b>Reclamation</b> is a collaborative endeavor between Drew Denny, John Matthew Heard, Kyoung Kim, Edwina Portocarrero, and Claudia Slanar that poses the question, “What if people took the environment as seriously as religion?” Founded in January 2009, Reclamation is an installation and event series that consists of four major parts: Aquarium (currently at Sea and Space Explorations in Los Angeles), Planetarium, Terrarium, and Solarium.<br />
<b>Ami Tallman's</b> most recent exhibition of figurative paintings revolves around the idea of charisma through an intimate depiction of actors, musicians, historical figures, and political activists. Developing her signature brand of portraiture, Tallman's most recent works on paper are looser and more layered with a sharp attention to color as seen in the fiery red-haired Ziggy Stardust, the saturated coat of a young JFK Jr., and Iggy Pop's snarling pink lips for example. Tallman's Technicolor compositions seem as imaginary as they are drawn from life.<br />

These groups seek to preserve and foster appreciation for the rich, strong sound which only vinyl records can properly produce.<br /><br /> The appeal of vinyl records in today’s market is due in large part to nostalgia. However, unlike other outdated sound storage media, vinyl records remained relevant for the majority of the twentieth century – replacing the phonograph cylinder as the most popular recording medium in the 1900s and staying prevalent into the late 1980s – something audio cassettes, eight tracks and reel to reels never quite accomplished. And although records have departed the main stream, they continue to be manufactured and sold. They are still used by DJs and audiophiles for recording and playing certain types of music, especially electronic dance music, hip hop, punk rock, and jazz. <br /><br /> Unlike ipods and the like, vinyl is a medium which requires greater temporal investment and sacrifice to appreciate. It is not convenient – a record player cannot be set to shuffle or fit into a pocket. To listen to a record, one must accommodate themselves to the device, not the other way around. Put simply, the vinyl record does not fit smoothly into the busy world of the twenty first century. But perhaps this is why it is so cherished today. Vinyl appreciation is one way in which people can sit back, relax and listen, just listen.<br /><br /> Vinyl Potluck proposes to gather a group of individuals willing to draw from their own record collections with a sense of nostalgia and playfulness. Each member of the group will play a track from the record of their choice and can comment on it if they wish. The selection could be musical, historical, art-centered, or otherwise personally meaningful. The organizers of the event will provide a crate of vinyl records from which participants without records may choose a selection. This record may then be kept by its selector, starting a new thread of nostalgia associated with both the vinyl object and the Vinyl Potluck event.<br /><br />--Tom NorrisASAPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03267421121524019133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555481192083461629.post-44845424625578488832009-10-27T15:11:00.000-07:002010-02-28T14:08:04.588-08:00The Costume and Contemporary ArtCome join us for a workshop on the roles of costume and masks in contemporary art practice!
