Many artists are beginning to exhibit their work that resulted from their quarantine. Fortunately, as an artist, Feldman has been able to channel and support our global apprehension by creating assemblages of medicinal architecture. These structures, derived from found materials, converse with each other to provide harmonious energy that is healing for Feldman in her creative environment. </b><p></p><p><b>Some of the totem-like structures are reminiscent of the life guard towers and multi-story beach homes along the Santa Monica, California coastline which may have influenced Feldman. Additionally, the structures suggest the object-like paintings of Frank Stella's "Indian Bird" Series.

text-align: left;">"<b>History is not just about time..." stated Angela Davis. Louis Jacinto's current photography exhibit at Casa 0101 Theatre Gallery exemplifies this quote. His photographs from the seventies and eighties define the fluidity of time and how human rights and our family descendants are a paradise of personal declarations. Louis is a product of the "baby-boomer" generation who was organically surrounded by the importance of respecting individual differences and the self-determination to participate in civil rights from various factions. During the artist's reception, Louis spoke about how at times his life he has felt overwhelmed by having to define his racial and sexual identity. The photographs chosen for the exhibit, by Jimmy Centano, represent the strength of his ancestry and the roots of his political visions through photography. His family's strength, vigor, loyalty and commitment, to name a few virtues, are captured in the photographs of his paternal grandmother, <i>Maria Serrano l978</i> and his father in <i>Coffee at 5 a.m. l984</i>. <i>Maria Serrano, </i>regally donning her prosaic apron, looks directly into the camera with the proud stature of a woman managing her own home. Louis' father and mother in <i>Coffee at 5 a .m.</i> are an example of a couple committed to supporting each other moment by moment. Louis' caption of this photograph states that they had coffee together everyday at 5 a.m. before his father went to work. Here's an example of "quality time" before it was fashionable. The labeled lunchbox is a personal acknowledgement of <i>C S JACINTO's </i>existence in his community and the world. </b></div></div></blockquote><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VGAsdMLW4XWoQnoVnWlPPEzAVtLS_9wjAXflu2fhTDYP_7zZ-KGaIs4xRlj4tZXVf0wzDdVF2fsiP0GPTJMkTn5YSVrlhn9L_paXwZIKjTlDv31zsPm86qMYvw16mu_lhDRzA7l_8Ol_D0fUH62K3-kTnRZx89bYLKyby4Ec72iF5xkFE_uyiJY-/s1348/louis%20protest.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1348" data-original-width="900" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0VGAsdMLW4XWoQnoVnWlPPEzAVtLS_9wjAXflu2fhTDYP_7zZ-KGaIs4xRlj4tZXVf0wzDdVF2fsiP0GPTJMkTn5YSVrlhn9L_paXwZIKjTlDv31zsPm86qMYvw16mu_lhDRzA7l_8Ol_D0fUH62K3-kTnRZx89bYLKyby4Ec72iF5xkFE_uyiJY-/s320/louis%20protest.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>U.S. Out Of El Salvador 1983</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Louis is a vigilant advocate of the LGBTQ+ community and the value of this community being a part of other people in need of support.

<b>Stevie Love is a Los Angelino from start to finish. Her art work embraces the essence of the southern California landscape with its traditions of her family's Italian ancestry combined with the existing Mexican and Native American sensibilities. The warm, sensuous hues soaked in Latin history, pass through the landscapes-their flora and fauna. Love creates from her subconscious and brings it forth into non-traditional landscapes and quilts. Love is a strong feminist growing up in the l960's when civil rights and women's rights were in the forefront. Her work is influenced by women that came before her such as Eve Hesse's inclusion of viscosity and Miriam Schapiro's quilts and irregular formats. </b></div>

<b>Forest Bathing/ Shinrin Yoku</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>The twelve large scale collaborative paintings, on drop cloth, are installed to envelop and bathe the participants in a forest of barrier free sensations. Philip said that most of the paintings began with intersecting lines of black ink. The broad gestural movements defer to previous abstract expressionists like Franz Kline and Jackson Pollack and Automatists/Surrealists like Joan Miro and Max Ernst. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>For the past two years Philip and Shibata have worked in Philip's studio between four and eight hour sessions. They riffed on each other's unconscious- dynamic marks until they felt each painting was complete. The cooperative paintings still allow for each artist's personal marks and palettes to be represented. Philip's signature, cobalt/ultramarine, lavish slathers float throughout the paintings. Shibata's delicate line drawings of caricature-like figures appear at varied scales. Notably, Shibata's marks are poetry and music that have been developing throughout his creative lifetime. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Forest bathing / Shinrin Yoku is a form of forest therapy medicine that allows for people to simply bask in the atmosphere of a forest. When I saw a photograph of myself at the exhibition, I recalled what it felt like to breathe the healing air with trees that have existed for many human lifetimes. The psychic emotional exchange that the artists shared during the development of each painting is a taste of this experience. </b><br />

<b>Valadez is a ceremonial "keeper of the flame"- an artist who documents the sky and the earth of people of Los Angeles. Primarily, Valadez focuses on the communities of East Los Angeles-the Los Angelenos with a defined Mexican-American style. He says he is never going to retire. It would be impossible for him stop the fire from burning. His insightful, heart wrenching, art work, serves to feed him, the community he represents, and the art devotees privileged to experience his art work. In "Piernas Anime", (Legs Anime), the "beach girls" are walking off the canvas, plopping their high heels and wedges into the wet sand. West side surfer girls have particular styles-perhaps <i>Roxy </i>and <i>Vans</i>. These girls, that appear to vacillate from the past and the future, give us a glimpse of an alternative beach attire that is <i>puro</i> Los Angeles <i>tambien.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Valadez' current exhibit invites us to see varied mixed-media, collages, digital prints and paintings. There are collages, on faux newsprint, of "pulp Mexican novellas" with traditional Mexican iconography of Dia de Los Muertos. Additionally, there are digital prints of downtown Los Angeles bodegas, Pop-graffiti on doors and buildings, and illuminating deference for the Native American and Chicano culture. </b></div>

Trix by Ted Meyer</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Trix are for kids..." When I heard that expression it was okay to eat sugary morning cereal. The GLITTER GROUP SHOW is a whimsical, fanciful exhibition designed to bring a smile for the new year. Many of the pieces, as with Ted Meyer's "Trix" and "Frosted Flakes" are Pop Art based. The element of glitter itself is part of popular culture in children's crafts, make-up, and costumes. Glitter is known to exist in cave paintings, and the ceremonial makeup of the Native Americans. </div>

Sandra Mastroianni, director of Cactus Gallery says she exhibits art for the people. Much of art is designed for the fledgling art collectors. </div>

<b>Loren Philip is a Los Angeles based abstract artist who is part of Coagula Curatorial's "New Curator's Series". After sessions with Mat Gleason, art director, the artists have an opportunity for a hands-on experience of curating their own exhibitions. When I visited Philip's studio last month, he described the method in which he was designing his own abstract art group exhibition. He has been a "fan" and supporter of the artists he chose for his exhibition. He mentioned discovering Jimi Gleason's illuminating paintings and meeting him at William Turner Gallery. Philip was overwhelmed and honored when Gleason was open to being in his group show. </b></div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Philip's selection of abstract artists is defined by their idiosyncrasies. Jimi Gleason's abstract painting with a metallic scalene triangle, no lines are equal, shines like glitter from ancient Egyptian beetles. The metallic form invites memories of using colors from nature. As an abstract artist he allows for the viewers to make up their story. The placement of metallic collage and stained canvas release a sacramental image which is an idiosyncratic element of abstract art and connections with spiritual realms.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Philip designed the placement of the paintings into a quasi-color wheel that begins in the entry of the gallery. To the right is Philip's painting which consists of various shades of oceanic cool blues. Proceeding clockwise is Gleason's painting with earth tones and complementary orange to Philip's blue. The strong contrasts, the production of afterimages, support the title of "Abstract Power". </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b> Steve Seleska's painting continues the connection with magenta-blue hues marbleized and interwoven on the surface of his work. With Philip's devotion to the ocean in his art work and lifestyle, he would obviously be attracted to Seleska's textural plankton forms cautiously emerging from the depths. </b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Steve Seleska</b></div>
<b><br /></b><b>Farzad Kohan has two paintings in the show that combine an abstracted " language of the heart" as the primary element of the color field. The haptic, lachrymose, marks of <i>Crazy for You </i>exude passion and sensuality. Kohan's stains of purple and blue become an extension of Seleska's painting and Philip's palette of fluid blues and white gestural marks. Kohan's <i>My Love </i>consisting of<i> </i>magenta and pink hues is reminiscent of the romantic side of Philip's paintings. Philip attributes the love of his wife and daughter as a vital component for his painting practice.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Emily Elisa Halpern's mossy green hues-a glimpse of nature and its lyrical dance, also relate to Philip's poetic and romantic nature in his art. Halpern's painting also complements Kohan's pastel pinks and engages Michael Torquato DeNicola's two dynamic paintings of bold warm hues. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>DeNicola's stated that he works and reworks his paintings which are evident in the mosaic-like forms that ascend and descend. His creative diligence is an architectural fete of alchemy. DeNicola and Philip are brothers in arms in their allegiance, medicinal and spiritual realm of surfing and the purification of the ocean. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Philip's maiden voyage combined artists whose creative idiosyncrasies are independent voices that became an extension of his artistic practice and fervor.</b><br />

<b>Michael Flechtner "PINK" neon on plywood</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The curators' theme of using "pink" as a color or concept opened up a personality of art works. The color pink is delicious, friendly, a valentine, love, romance, lust, and whimsy to name a few. Many of these pieces combine whimsy with topical messages such as birth control, homelessness, entrepreneurial feats, immigration, racism, evolution of pop art, and neo-surrealism.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>During my visit to the gallery I was able to get some personal insight from Carlos Iglesias, one of the curators. Poignant moments are William Wray's <i>Pretty and Pink </i>Superman. A weary-gaunt superman is portrayed defeated and collapsed against an undefined corner somewhere in West Hollywood. This man is in league with other street entertainers whose livelihood depends on tourists photographing them in their superhero costumes. </b><b> Batmans, Chewbaccas, Wonder Women, and Darth Vaders are entrepreneurs by necessity on the streets of West Hollywood and Hollywood near Grumman's Chinese Theatre. The man behind the mask is dealing with economic challenges that affect his physical and mental well-being. Iglesias said that this was an actual person who possibly had shelter but was struggling for daily existence. The white space equates his homelessness and his pain. It seems like his only possession is the superman costume. Lichtenstein's comic book dots introduce the pop quality of the superman image. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Gordon Smedt's <i> Super Pink</i> also uses a familiar pop fashion staple of a superman t-shirt with pink hoodie sweatshirt. The hoodie and t-shirt are a current uniform of the Millennials usurped from Gen-Xers etc. <i>Super Pink</i> exalts America's unique way of abstracting fashion from popular culture and the sports world. <i>Super Pink</i> is a true-blue American portrait that Americans try to imitate and other parts of the world see as freedom.</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>Mouthful </i>by Pablo Ilana combines pop imagery reminiscent of Claus Oldenburg's sculptures from <i>The Store 1961-62. </i>Ilana, an artist from Tijuana, Mexico, created this piece specifically for the show. The sculpture is collaged with candy wrappers from American candies like <i>Kit Kat</i> and <i>Mounds. </i>Iglesias stated that some of the Mexican candy actually is imported from the United States to Mexico under the guise of Mexican products. He said there was an irony with America producing and sharing sweets topped off with wanting to build a wall. Ilana's whimsical, childhood <i>pinata-style</i> sculpture uses the pink theme to make a powerful statement about the conflicting messages and practices that occur on a daily basis on the Mexican border with people trying to survive and also enjoy simple joys like sweets. </b></div>

<b>Stealth "Pink" slipped in condoms for $5. with donations going to Planned Parenthood. Also, a monolithic "S" shaped sculpture by Pat Riot, <i>Fertility_Futility Totem 1, </i> contained pattern grids created by rows of nailed pink condoms. The advertising of condoms for protection against STD's is possibly being placed at the bottom of the health care pile. Condoms used to be available in large bowls in night clubs in the 1980's and early 1990's. This sculpture reminds us to protect our health, that we have choices with our bodies and sardonically, is it worth the fight. </b></div>

<b>The <i>non-literal-PINK-artists</i> created works that were competing magnetically. Viewers seemed to curiously yield to art work that did not scream <i>PINK. Hera of the New World</i> by Glenn Barr portrays various rusting , colliding, vehicles that play a part in an apocalyptic experience. The overall painting reflects pinkish hues, a bi-product of nature's corrosion. The painting by Rafael Serrano, <i>Untitled, </i>and the drawing by Robert Soffian, <i>World of Letters, </i>created ethereal works that say: <i>PINK</i> is primordial. Soffian's work appears like a primeval topography indicating life forms from the beginning of time. Serrano devotes his images to natural flora forms combined with geometrical drawings that exist parallel to nature. Serrano's painting is also a map to finding the answers in nature. </b></div>

I moved from Venice Beach to Long Beach Lofts in January 1999. I survived Y-2K lying on my sofa watching the New Years Rockin' Eve in December 1999. I am still making art-making even more the past three years. It is time to get an additional space for the overflowing of right brain discharge manifesting into matter. My dear friend David DiMichele gave me the advice to move here with the notion that after a year I could return to Venice Beach if I wanted. "You mean I can move back? " I said. "Yeah..." said David. Almost 19 years later, I remain.</div>

<b><i>Beyond Baroque / Mike Kelley Gallery</i></b><br />
<b><i>681 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA 90291</i></b><br />

<b><i>Beyond Baroque has deep, historical roots in the value of community building. They have been responsible for supporting Los Angelenos for sometime now. Beyond Baroque is composed of artists, educators, patrons, collectors, businessman and many more. The Mike Kelley Gallery is dedicated to a local boy who made good and then went to heaven. It is characteristic of the acknowledgement and love for dedicated artists.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Venice Beach is known as a creative neighborhood. Art studios were more affordable in the 1960's and 1970's. Some of the artists in this exhibition were around back in those days. All of the artists are defined as fully committed artists to their craft, creativity, and global perspectives. This venue is open to the public and provides an inviting, leisurely way to view artwork with the pride of Los Angeles' regional artists.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Gay Summer Sadow Rick's painting "Heading to Sunset" is drenched with southern California's salmon and mango sunsets near the beach. Sadow Rick calls herself a "palette painter", who rubs the paint into the canvas. The penetrating paint is reminiscent of Mark Rothko's "stained paintings" and Monet's "Haystacks" composed of warm colors produced by the refracted light of the seasons. </i></b><br />

<b><i>Catherine Ruane and Loren Philip contribute to the conservation of our regional plant (flora) and marine life. Ruane's graphite and charcoal drawing, "Minaret I" contains an explosive, gestural drawing hand. The view from underneath the palm fronds adds to the palm tree's larger than life, ubiquitous, so-cal symbolism. Ruane's adroit representation of local, ambient, light emphasizes the beauty and preservation of the palm tree. Loren Philip's painting "Nothing Left to Say" consists of his signature cobalt blue color which is linked to the ebb and flow colors of the Pacific Ocean and the marinas. Philip is a local boy, previous punk rock musician, and surfer who is possibly influenced by the colors along the coastline. His expressionist marks have reflective relationships with his environment. </i></b><br />

<b>Zemankova began making art in her fifties after her children had grown. One of her sons was a sculptor who supported her in beginning her art making journey. She had lost one of her four children during infancy. A tragedy that she never recovered from and lead her to making art. Her artwork consisting of embroidery, collage, pastel and ink, became an antidote for her perpetual "melancholy". </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Born in what is now called the Czech Republic, Zemankova's artwork is influenced by the embroidery patterns and designs seen in her native country's embroideries and dance costumes. Zemankova was interpreting her cultural art forms in contemporary terms by using familiar material like embroidery thread. She was inadvertently in the <i>zeitgeist </i>of the 1960's and 1970's by including everyday "domestic" items like thread, pins, fabric and beads-<i>ala </i>Lucas Samaras and Miriam Shapiro. Zemankova also used stitched collage and conceptually pierced the drawing paper with every stitch. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Considered an "Outside Artist", who today might be viewed as a feminist and an entrepreneur, Zemankova without gallery representation, had "open houses" every few years to exhibit her artwork. Jean Dubuffet exhibited her work at an Outsider Art Exhibit, also in 1979 she exhibited in London. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Zemankova is receiving deserved acclaim at this time. The Good Luck Gallery is the first gallery to exhibit Zemankova's work on the west coast. </b></div>

<b>Loren Philip proclaims his current work as "topographical abstraction". He physically hovers over the canvases and aggressively attacks the surfaces. Layers of paint are deleted and re-constructed with the water pressure of a garden hose. The unconventional tool mercilessly edits the paintings to glimpses of electrical charges. Flooding the surfaces create "blueprints" of previous brushstrokes and the artist's sweat. Even though his technique is an "unforgiving process" he is willing to trust the experience from beginning to end. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>"Fluid Rorschachs" emerge from the process stimulating the viewers' unconscious. Philip's prolific painting series equals his success to embrace the unknown. An avid surfer and sailor, this Southern California native maneuvers respectfully through waves of water in his art, avocations, and intentional physical activities. </b></div>

"We are all surfers. We are all riding waves in our lifetime...". DeNicola's current solo exhibition at B&B&CO Gallery in downtown Los Angeles, consists of his emotionally and physically charged paintings and mixed-media pieces. As a "down to the soul" surfer, his art work captures his perpetual mission of being in flow with nature. DeNicola's creative enthusiasm unfurls in the entry of the gallery with his "I am Torquato" character icon. He created this character about twelve years ago and is designed to encourage the artist and his viewers with life's challenges. The "superhero" serves as an inner voice of love and support.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
DeNicola describes his paintings as "cataloging highlights" of his personal experiences. The acts of painting and surfing are metaphors for each other. It can be considered an exaltation to live embraced by the elements and principles of design. Line, pattern, repetition, movement, are terms DeNicola uses to interpret both vocations of art and surfing. His recent relocation from the beach-Pacific Palisades to downtown Los Angeles has given his paintings an ephemeral quality. As in some of their predecessors, the current paintings are not contained in resin. Flashes of fluorescent brushstrokes sensation DeNicola's immediacy in a new environment. </div>

<b>Karla Klarin in front of "A Loft on Mill", 1980, 48"x 72.5", acrylic on 3D</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Los Angeles is the city for warriors. You have to have guts to live here and equally to be an artist here. Karla an "intelligent valley girl" (not an oxymoron), born in Van Nuys in 1953 did not have a choice. Los Angeles has always been her home. Karla's current survey beginning in 1980 is an authentic LA Story. Karla's intimate-poetic depiction of her life in Los Angeles as a "Baby-Boomer-Feminist-Power-Mama", is a visual autobiography and a benchmark for artists to "live and learn". Karla's innate tenacity, she believes artists are born, is the seed that has continued to multiply and diversify in her creative atmosphere. Her exhibition of works for the past 36 years tells the story of her life to this point.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Karla shares her creative epiphany through the story of "Natalie's House" and Natalie herself, a neighbor, ballerina, Modernist, and everlasting-muse. The combination of pink, black and white are one of Karla's favorite color combinations thanks to Natalie's design aesthetic. In post-war neighborhoods of tract homes and uniformity, Natalie's pink house, with white rock roof, black driveway and black and white rock garden, became a location of visual, emotional and physical magic. A magic that continues to influence Karla's work. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>There are several paintings dedicated and inspired by Natalie's House", the emotional washes bounce off the geometric geology of black and white forms. In the 1950's and 1960's everything seemed to have more mass and weight. Homes were constructed with stronger materials-the Zenith TV set weighed a ton. Karla's geometric forms appear to have the weight of actual rocks and black tar of the asphalt driveways.Like Karla's daily childhood bike rides through her neighborhood, the ebb and flow of gray values highlight the timeless architectural, and topographical forms.</b><b> </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>A notable favorite of the exhibition is a painting from 1980 entitled " A Loft on Mill". Karla spent over ten years in downtown Los Angeles with her artwork becoming part of her creative evolution. She stated that she started working on constructions while at San Francisco Art Institute (1974) under her instructor and mentor, Sam Tchakalian and during graduate school at Otis Art Institute (l978) with Emerson Woelffer. The architectural forms like her drawings give the impression of weight and mass. The gilded, mono-chromatic structure jets out of the canvas as an object to be observed and rectified. Karla's interpretation of downtown Los Angeles structure also touches on her thoughts of what a "Place" can be. She states that her living location also becomes part of her "physical and emotional state of being". </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Karla currently resides in Santa Monica with her husband and family. Several of the paintings are influenced by Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park Series and the Bay Area painters like Elmer Bischoff , David Park and Joan Brown. She considers these artist to be pure California artists that capture "my California". Her palettes range from primary colors and delineated horizon lines to her favorite black, pink, and white palette. Also included are portraits of her children and her spouse David. The portraits are minimal in imagery but still have the strong deliberate marks associated with "Natalie's House" and Natalie's aesthetic. Bravo to the "Gal from the Val".</b></div>

<b><i><br />LOOK HERE</i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>by Sandra Vista</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>More often than not, when I get off the sofa and take action for a current art event , I am grateful and "feel so good". On Sunday morning August 28 at 11:00 am, I was lounging and reading on fb that Lilli Muller, (phenomenal conceptual, /sculpture artist dtla)was at Hauser Wirth and Schimmel. I was reminded of the 700 women artists event and decided to take my chances and invite myself. From finding a parking spot directly behind the gallery, to getting my "non-rsvp" number (721), the entire early afternoon was a plaza of multi-generational women artists with resonating chakras. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As a "Baby-Boomer", I have experienced <i>Love-Ins, Be-Ins, and NOW Conventions; "Be Here and Now", </i>can be viewed as one of the granddaughters of these experiences. Boomers burned their bras-the Millennials are "free the nipple". The value of this event continues to unfurl as it is shared by over 900 (+) women that attended. Most of the women have advanced degrees, many are educators as well as practicing artists. The importance of education for women can not be underestimated. Kim Schoenstadt, the architect of the project, along with Carrie Yury (photographer), Aandrea Stang, (Hauser Wirth & Schimmel), Isabel Avila (photographer), expressed determination, diligence, tenacity, and affirmation of women who have been exposed to a variety of art historical and societal models directed to the rights of women. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>During the actual gestalt photograph, the 900 (+) women were asked to "look here" at a sign posted on the roof top where the photographers and project designers were stationed. "Look here" played a part in directing focus for the participants during the event and for their "debriefing sessions" with art colleagues, friends, and loved ones. Everyone seems to have experienced a welcomed "pat on the back" and acknowledgements to continue their journeys as artists and harbingers of cooperative societies for humanity. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My princess goldenrod phone, circa l968 , was taken away from me by my mother because I made three long distance calls to my boyfriend. No second chance either. 21st century princess phone owners can make long distance calls all day long without worrying about having the phone yanked off the wall and they can also post information out into the world in real time-that is a hell of difference . Joyful exuberance was felt by me and my immediate friends throughout the day of the event as the postings came through on social media. <i>Be Here Now,</i> has continued to receive positive reviews by news organizations and the voices of many of the participants who continue to share "the multiple self-portrait" of cooperation.</b><br />

<b>"Scarface was my Star Wars"</b><br />
by Sandra Vista<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>"Un hijo de norte america", Jorge began his education crossing the Tijuana frontera at the age of nine. In San Diego he became "George". Not speaking a word of English, he said a nun (parochial school) told him he would no longer be called "Jorge". He said Cal Arts freed him to become "Jorge" again. Jorge's story is a bullet train of nature and nurture. He was fortunate to have parents that were supportive of his creativity. Funds were limited in the beginning of his college career so there was no time to waste. A strong work ethic developed by necessity and creative drive have produced a lucrative career in his field of animation. Currently, his animated feature, "The Book of Life" has garnered Jorge creative acclaim.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Jorge's current exhibition is his first solo show in a gallery setting. Gregorio Escalante was introduced to Jorge's work while on a flight from Spain. He felt compelled to look him up and give him a solo show. True to his strong work ethic, Jorge began working on his paintings on a nightly basis. What started off as nine paintings became 57. The paintings are autobiographical interpretations of Jorge's virtues. Each painting illuminates a life lesson-many focusing on familial advise. There is the allegory for "El Ultimo Super Macho", which was dispensed by his "Abuelito" distinguishing between a non-violent/faithful man and a reactive/unfaithful man. Jorge describes it as <i>Mexican Zen</i>. Abuelito bravely confessed that he was the latter-"Macho" not "Super Macho". Jorge is aspiring to become "El Ultimo Super Macho". Jorge is a family man with Sandra, a lovely wife/creative partner and Luka, a young artistic son. His son Luka was included as part of the creative process by helping with the portrait of "Che" named "Presidente de Urban Outfitters". <i>Mexican Zen </i>being channeled through generations, Luka's touch is more minimal.</b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b> Jorge is an exemplary model of the creative energy of the Mexican-American borderline/ la frontera/the frontier. Jorge uses the word "bootleg" for the art work, curios, tee shirts, music, CD/DVD's that are copied and sold by frontera entrepreneurs trying to appeal to the American market and the Mexicans trying to live the American life. "Bootleg" is a form of deciphering, interpreting, and feeling what is being experienced by the people living near that border. Jorge was a time traveler on a daily basis between Tijuana and San Diego. Because of his creative mind he has been able to absorb information visually and emotionally. An obvious example are the bold colors in his paintings: chile red, mango orange, pineapple and canary yellow. Respectfully, and trying to remain authentic to the local artisans, Jorge used house paint as the medium for his paintings. Also, true to form, he substituted a paint color when the original one was depleted. So a red apple may wind up being a blue apple-more <i>Mexican Zen.</i> </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>One of Jorge's defining quotes: "Scarface was my Star Wars", encapsulates his youth in a "pop-nostalgic" manner. Since l983 "Scarface" the movie and its anti-hero/hero Tony Montana, has continued to evolve into the ultimate immigrant story that epitomizes bravery, survival, diligence, crime, murder, and abstracted adaption. Through his paintings Jorge communicates his experiences with frontera colloquials/Spanglish like "Escarface" for "Scarface" and "Bobesponja" for "Sponge Bob". Also relevant is the work of an educated man. His Cal Arts education, has become a vital component to Jorge's success. The paintings include art historical references of Aztec glyphs, Dia de los Muertos symbolism, combined with crown references to Basquiat. </b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Alfred Korzybski said: "The map is not the territory." Jorge is a man that moves the boundaries and demonstrates community, brotherhood, interconnection, ancestry, and love. A perfect example was during the opening night of the exhibition when a young girl came to the show dressed in the "Dia de los Muertos" costume from "The Book of Life". Jorge Gutierrez-</b></div>

<b>The current exhibition at MUZEUMM is the collaboration of <i>We Choose Art and Shoebox PR, </i></b><br />
<b>with curators Baha H. Danesh and Kristine Shoemaker. The exhibition represents a <i>soft sell </i></b><br />
<b>approach to a feminist exhibition. The exquisitely displayed exhibition contains various familiar themes seen in feminist exhibitions with familial presentations. There were also performance artists and poets during the opening night. Today is the closing party from 4-6pm. Pizza for the "symbolically starving artists and patrons.</b><br />

May 7-27, 2016<br />
<br />
<br />
Beyond Baroque<br />
681 Venice Blvd<br />
Venice, CA 90291<br />
<br />
Currently at Beyond Baroque is the "Second Annual Mask Exhibition" curated by Dulce Stein. <br />
The exhibition's flavor, essence, pheromones, are a familial spin at the historical space devoted to artists' creative endeavors. Dulce Stein is a current "Curatorial Whirlwind" providing a multitude of exhibition spaces for local and worldwide artists.<br />
<br />
The exhibition has various definitions/interpretations of "masks". There are traditional pieces, paintings, and mixed-media pieces such as the "Mud People Installation" found in a stairway "to nowhere",<br />
<br />

<b>Currently there are two artists exhibiting in Chinatown who depict animals with human virtues of family unity existing with instinctual territorial aggression. Fantastic situations that exist in the minds of Moira Hahn and Deveron Richard. During the opening night of these exhibitions, I was speaking with Gina Stephniuk of Good Luck Gallery regarding the reciprocal connection of the two artists. She said they both used the same materials and themes. However, Richard has developed a unique technique with watercolor which gives his drawings a graphic quality. Many viewers thought the images were pigmented prints or pastels because of their opacity. Good Luck Gallery works with artists who are not formally trained-"Outsider Art". Gregorio Escalante Gallery, works with both formally trained and artist who are also " self-taught rebels". (*<i>All artists are rebels.")</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Both galleries are re-defining what makes an artist. There aren't hopes for a final definition, however the artwork is beginning to parallel. Moira Hahn is a formally trained artist who combines Japanese allegory with contemporary Japanese Anime and pop images. Anthropomorphic imagery has been used to describe both artists' work. Part of Hahn's focus is on the Chinese-Japanese Animal Zodiac. She is a "fire monkey" which is the title of her exhibition and the animal and element of 2016. Hahn is a prolific artist and storyteller that depicts prosaic imagery of home and family as seen in "Under Water World" where the "blessed trinity" is a pair of tigers wearing traditional Japanese kimonos, a baby tiger, and a monkey as a guardian angel and guide. Tigers in the animal zodiac are characterized as playful and child-like. They are good with children because they never grow up themselves. Hahn's animal themes are also providential in terms of animals' safety and protection from abuse and extinction. <i>PETA , ASPCA, </i>and other animal protection groups are increasingly providing awareness to human society. Hahn's empathetic delivery explodes like Japanese fireworks dedicated to pattern, color, and haptic desires. Through her artwork audiences experience playful, palatable and multi-cultural messages for inter-species relationships. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Deveron Richard's work time travels through multiple dimensions with females flying the flags of resilience. Adaptability does not mean conformity. In "Milkets" Richard portrays an assembly-line of cows attached to milking machines. Even though the cows look "contented", as advertised by dairy companies, there is a broader message of solidarity to prevent extinction. The cow is also a symbol of the sanctity of motherhood. Additionally, the watercolors portraying emotionally familiar interstellar combat are messages for preserving our planet and in the case of "Spectra Knights Battle for Birdra Prime"- multiple planets. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>It is evident in both exhibitions that Hahn and Richard are artists who understand the value of "life in the details". Their work is a definitive example of how an artist's mind selects and dissects imagery through all their senses and produce artwork that extols all life forms. </b></div>

<b><i>ABEL ALEJANDRE, "Rodin de Cross-Hatching</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Rodin dice: puedo elegir un bloque de mármol y cortar lo que no necesito." Alejandre del "bloque de mármol metafórica" funciona en sentido inverso. He observado su dibujo maestría con diversos grados de grafito. Su exhibición actual mantiene su firma rayado transversal técnicas definidas con pintura acrílica.</i></b><br />
<b><i>Alejandre emociones autobiográfico imágenes guiadas y espiritualmente. La representación de imágenes familiares evolucionan a partir de las líneas que se cruzan ferozmente como águilas construyendo sus nidos.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Las pinturas de la exposición denominada "secretos" público, parecen ser tocado por la divinidad. Alejandre comparte su lucha con su creencia en Dios. Él viene de una familia de devotos católicos. Su obra representa su formación religiosa combinado con su arte educación secular y la puntualidad en las luchas políticas de inmigrantes mexicanos. Alejandre y su familia emigró desde Apatzingan, México a Wilmington, California. Alejandre actualmente vive y tiene su estudio en Long Beach. Él me escribió: "Yo le digo a mis amigos que soy una recuperación católica. He leído todo ahora y tomar lecciones que me hablan, más notablemente ha sido Siddhartha. Ahora, yo tome la ruta de menor resistencia, excepto cuando se trata de trabajar. En ese caso, voy a ir en contra del grano en esperanzas de lograr algo grande o ser un fracaso espectacular...ambos son aceptables."</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>La pintura titulada "La Trinidad" que representa al Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, también está dedicado a su padre, su hijo y él. Las patatas con los cables eléctricos se conoce como un proyecto científico de la niñez, Alejandre afirma: "Hay patatas metida en un acto carnal bajo el ojo vigilante del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Se trata de mi fe o falta de ella para este asunto." La pintura habla a su espiritual-creativo-itinerario educativo-su vida. El ape podría representar la teoría de la evolución, las patatas copular, como introducción a la infancia la ciencia proyectos combinados con Kris Kristofferson y "Jesús fue un Capricornio". Eclesiastés 1:18 :" con mucha sabiduría hay mucha molestia; cuanto más conocimiento, más dolor." Alejandre crea conmovedora belleza desde su corazón y su talento y él no está solo.</i></b><br />

<b><i><br /></i></b><br />
Abel Alejandre "The Rodin of Cross-Hatching<br />
<br />
Rodin said: I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need." Alejandre's "metaphorical block of marble" works in reverse. I have observed his drawing mastery with various degrees of graphite. His current exhibition maintains his signature cross-hatching techniques defined with acrylic paint. Alejandre emotes autobiographical and spiritually guided images. The representational-familial images evolve from lines that fiercely intersect like eagles building their nests.<br />
<br />
The paintings from the exhibition named "Public Secrets", appear to be touched by the divine. Alejandre shared his struggle with his belief in God. He comes from a family of devout Catholics. His work represents his religious training combined with his secular art education and the timely political struggles of Mexican immigrants. Alejandre and his family emigrated from Apatzingan, Mexico to Wilmington,California. Currently Alejandre lives and has his studio in Long Beach. He wrote to me: "I tell my friends that I am a recovering Catholic. I read everything now and take lessons which speak to me, most notably has been Siddhartha. Now, I take the path of less resistance, except when it comes to work. In that case I will go against the grain in hopes of achieving something great or being a spectacular failure...both are acceptable."<br />
<br />
The painting titled "The Trinity" representing the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, also is dedicated to his father, his son and himself. The potatoes with electric cables is known as a childhood science project, Alejandre states: "There are potatoes engaged in a carnal act under the watchful eye of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It deals with my faith or lack of it for that matter." The painting speaks to his spiritual-creative-educational journey-his life. The ape could represent the theory of evolution, the potatoes copulating, as the introduction to childhood science projects combined with Kris Kristofferson and "Jesus was a Capricorn". Ecclesiastes 1:18 :" For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief." Alejandre creates soulful beauty from his heart and his talent and he is not alone.<br />

<b>I wanted to begin by adding one of my family anecdotes regarding "skin". It was triggered by an interactive piece referred to as an "educational mode". These nodes were designed by the staff of LAMAG, including gallery educator Marta Feinstein and director Isabelle Lutterodt, as a place for "reflection" and "dialogue". During the opening I was too overly stimulated to sit and write my reflections in the provided sketchbooks. The exhibition has served to impress upon me how the color of our skin begins its relevance in our family structure. The dad in my story is my brother who was called "Prieto" by my mother. In Spanish this refers to a dark-tan person. It is a common nickname in the Mexican culture. "Prieta" is for girls. My niece "G" had just began school when she asked this question. "Kindergarten" is the beginning of learning and maneuvering racial differences.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>"Node #5" contains reflective words like: us, race, self, family, history, change, identity, and diversity, which serve as a base for the gallery visitors. In the main gallery exist a floor piece with the phrase: "OUR LIVES MATTER". Everyone's life matters, however, this phrase is a graphic reminder that we are all connected and feel the same kind of pain. In the same space is a monumental wallpaper, on foam core piece, by Ken Gonzales-Day entitled "41 Objects Arranged by Color".</b></div>

<b>Gonzales-Day's billboard style technique is a contemporary/pop way to reach a broader audience. The images of sculptural busts, from antiquity, are also displayed in a familiar, academic, manner. Most people have seen these images in their high school and college history books or on posters advertising the local museum of man. The variety of profiles and the warm tones of the central figures, emphasizes that these artworks were derived from human beings. The stones become flesh suspended in time.</b></div>

<b>"Skin" interpreted as shelter is presented in a site specific piece by Holly Tempo. The long, narrow room with high ceilings, creates a vault, or room found in an ancient temple. Tempo uses Frank Lloyd Wright's <i>Hollyhock House, </i>at Barnsdall Park, as the inspiration for the Mayan tile and hollyhock designs she has painted in the room. Additionally, there are framed collages made with cardboard to symbolize the cardboard shelters runaway youth, in Los Angeles, sometimes use for sleeping. Tempo specified the gay youth that are thrown out of their homes because of their sexual identity. <i>Cardboard Revival 2016, </i>subliminally embraces the divinely inspired Mayan architectural designs with the memories recalled by the seeds of the hollyhock. Hollyhocks are symbols of abundance, fertility, and considered "un premio de apoyo", (a prize/gift of support in the Mexican/Central American culture). Tempo, an associate professor (painting) at Otis Art Institute, dug deeper by sharing her project with some of her painting students. Her multicultural crew of students became artists on the job. The message of the exhibition also exposes future artists to use their art for messages of love, understanding, remembering and reflecting our ancestors.</b></div>

<b>Ann Le and Kaitlynn Redell's mixed-media works refer to their Asian ancestry. Le's photo/collage works are also reflective of "home, sanctuary, and shelter" by using wallpaper floral designs to replace the people's faces in the photos. Wallpaper can serve as forms of <i>skins </i>in our family memories. Layers of wallpaper in a home can attach remembrances of unity and the longevity of a family. The floral wallpaper also reminded me of a personal experience with my grandmother's purchase of new kitchen linoleum in the late l950's. My father laid it out on the kitchen floor and my brother and I rolled around on the floor trying to flatten the linoleum. It is one of my favorite childhood memories. I had permission to roll around foolishly on a Pollack splattered design long before being introduced to abstract expressionism in college. As a visual artist Le probably absorbed patterns and colors from her family environments. </b></div>

<b>Kaitlynn Redell exhibits two pieces, one is an independent mixed media painting in which she uses photographs of the 1920's Chinese American actress Anna May Wong. <i>Imposter</i> , a photograph from <i>The Residents Series </i>is the collaborative piece she shares with her creative partner of Redell and Jimenez. Redell stated that their partnership "shares a mutual interest in the concept of inbetweeness, a space of fluidity and negotiation, where predetermined categories of the body, gender, history, and psychology are constantly formed and reformed." Redell's mother is Chinese, the <i>inbetweeness </i>she describes is perpetuated by people asking "what are you?". This is a question I am constantly being asked. I can fit into many cultures, the older I get the more Asian I appear to people. I always say: "there are all kinds of Mexicans."</b></div>

<b>The<i> SKIN </i>exhibition combines a variety of interpretations from the obvious of skin color, to conceptual approaches related to artists' homes and environments. The artists do agree on the integration of mind, body, and spirit to communicate the purpose of the exhibition. The color of our skin still matters. <i>SKIN </i>uses the beauty and creativity of visual arts to remind the viewers of our connections. It's like a "maternal broken record" which continually illustrates the hope for community and compassion.</b></div>

<b><i>I BELIEVE YOU- CONVIVERE...</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b>by Sandra Vista</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Today is the last day to participate in Emma Sulkowicz' self portrait performance. She has been at the gallery for three weeks, courageously exchanging conversations with Chinatown's art affecionados. Sulkowicz has received national press regarding her visual arts senior thesis at Columbia University(2014) in which she carried a college dormitory mattress with her throughout her senior year protesting her rape by a fellow student. The mattress is symbolic of her traumatic experience of sexual assault and her fight- "la lucha" for reparation. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sulkowicz', a freshly incarnated avatar, appears strong and humble. Unadorned, and make-up free, she shares her most precious gift of herself. Sometimes when we are young our bravery supersedes our experiences. With more opportunities for bravery individual patterns emerge. Sulkowicz is fortunate to have a creative arsenal to process her personal experiences as a woman of sexual assault. When I spoke with her during opening night, I told her that I believed her and that part of my life purpose was to listen and support peoples' stories of emotional and physical abuse. With no physical contact aloud, she gave me an "air high five".</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Gloria Steinem said that putting a woman on a pedestal is a good way to know where she is.</b><br />
<b>Sulkowicz' is challenging this concept by presenting three aspects of herself, a 3-d model, <i>Emmatron</i>, her robotic version, and herself. She represents a positive and encouraging example of the current generation that is portrayed as parakeets looking at themselves in the mirror of their cellphones. For my <i>satori</i> I tried to give her an offering of a sheriff's badge. As her assistant took my gift, she asked what it symbolized. The badge is open to interpretations, for me it was an expression of gratitude for being part of her art performance. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sulkowicz could be anybody's daughter who is sent away to college. We have high hopes for their future and fear the dangers of their first steps into the adult world. Sulkowicz has received support her for her claims but also has been slandered as an opportunist using "her rape" as a way to get famous. She wants you to see her as a real person, flesh and bones, not a news sound bite. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><i>The Mattress Girl </i>will be with Sulkowicz as long as she needs her. Right now <i>TMG</i> is the first cannon ball. Gallery director and feminist, Mat Gleason was born at the end of the <i>baby-boomer</i> generation, where the womens' rights movement was already in place. He welcomes women artists and respects their perspectives whether he agrees with them or not. Sulkowicz' current exhibit, is becoming a significant contribution, by Coagula Curatorial, for womens' rights, re-defining sexual assault, rape, and the need for human contact. The <i>beauty part</i> is that it is delivered to us through art.</b><br />
