UAM Director Chris Scoates has curated an exciting new exhibition focused around these two prominent and innovative Los Angeles collectors. Unlike many other LA collections, the Gold’s collection is a remarkable cross section of established, emerging, mid-career, and undiscovered artists who have been working in the region. Their thoughtful selection of paintings, works on paper, photographs, and sculpture represent an unprecedented look at the diversity of aesthetic threads and an array of issues that characterize work being made in and around Los Angeles today. The exhibition will showcase over 80 works from their collection including: Amy Adler, Lynn Aldrich, Kevin Appel, Edgar Arceneaux, John Baldessari, Tanya Batura, Maura Bendett, Mel Bochner, Jane Callister, Paul Cherwick, Steven Criqui, Krysten Cunningham, Tony De Los Reyes, Jacci Den Hartog, Kim Dingle, Jim Drain, Peter Dudek, Sean Duffy, Brad Eberhard, Nicole Eisenman, Bart Exposito, Carlee Fernandez, Michelle Fierro, Chris Finley, Naomi Fisher, Iva Gueorguieva, Carol Hepper, Salomón Huerta, Vincent James, Raffi Kalenderian, Kurt Kauper, Martin Kersels, Charles Long, Andrew Mansfield, Pepe Mar, Enrique Marty, David McDonald, Ana Mendieta, Joel Morrison, Sandeep Mukherjee, Takashi Murakami, Tracy Nakayama, Yoshitomo Nara, Bruce Nauman, Barbara Neijna, Walter Niedermayr, Monique Prieto, Tia Pulitzer, Jon Pylypchuk, Nathan Redwood, Scott Richter, Steve Roden, Ross Rudel, Hubert Schmalix, Jonathan Seliger, Thomas Skomski, Linda Stark, George Stoll, Don Suggs, Barbara Takenaga, Fred Tomaselli, Juan Uslé, Joost Van Oss, Tam Van Tran, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, and Daniel Wheeler.

His collages and works on paper were seen most recently at Acme, Los Angeles, and his work has been exhibited worldwide, including in 2009 at Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland, New Zealand. Appel’s work may be found in such collections as: the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Jane Callister was born on the Isle of Mann. She received a B.A. (honors) from the Cheltenham School of Art, England, and an M.F.A. in Painting from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 1994. Callister’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the US in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Texas as well as internationally including the First Prague Biennial, Czech Republic in 2003, The Frankfurt Art fair, 2001 & 2002; Jette Rudolf Gallery, Berlin; Anton Weller, Paris; Umea University, Sweden and at the Cell, London. Presently, Callister is a professor of painting at University of California, Santa Barbara. Born in Pomona, California, Kim Dingle received her B.F.A. from California State University, Los Angeles, and her M.F.A. from Claremont Graduate School. Her paintings, which frequently reference race and gen- der concepts, are located in many major institutions nationwide including: The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Denver Art Museum, Denver; and the National Mu- seum of American Art, Smithsonian, Washington D.C. Recent solo exhibitions include: Kim Dingle: Studies for the Last Supper at Fatty’s, Sperone Westwater, New York, and Kim Dingle: The Cake Series, Kim Light Gallery, Los Angeles, both occurred in 2007.

Bruce Nauman’s expansive art practice includes sculpture, video, film, printmaking, performance, and installation. Earning his B.F.A. from University of Wisconsin, Madison, and an M.F.A. from University of Cali- fornia, Davis, Nauman has occupied a space in late-20th century art that emphasizes the role that process plays in the making of art. Nauman’s work has been shown most recently in Collection: MoCA’s First Thirty Years, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and 1969, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. He has been awarded numerous honors including the The Golden Lion, 48th Venice Biennale, Italy, and an Honorary Doctor of Arts, California Institute of the Arts, Valencia.

  • Andrea Bowers / Daniel Joseph Martinez
    EvEry thing is Pol itical andrea Bowers / Daniel Joseph Martinez FOCA 2 everything is political BEtween a rock anD a harD PlacE: FroM raDical art to raDical OptiMisM lucía sanromán 4 everything is political if a rock is thrown into a pond and no one observes its shockwaves, does it still make an impact? This play on the Platonic metaphor comes to mind when considering Andrea Bowers and Daniel Joseph Martinez’s exhibition for the Fellows of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Martinez has used a similar image to describe the conceptual underpinnings of their shared exhibition: His sculpture of a taxidermied hare, eviscerated and stuffed with dynamite sticks, hangs from the ceiling of the Fellows’ Chinatown gallery like a thrown rock caught suspended in mid-air in the moment just before it hits its target. Encircling the corpse is a grouping of 8 plastic tables lined with 15 metal chairs—this is the furniture that typically populates the space, which also functions as the office for the 6 everything is political organization and frequently hosts board meetings, juries, and panels. Andrea Bowers, whose laborious, handcrafted work often appropriates domestic or functional objects, has applied the name of a late contemporary artist to the back of each folding chair; under each seat she has pasted the artist’s obituary—an honor …art objects roll that lists a crucial group of activist artists who have influenced her practice. Interlaced with the space’s utilitarian furnishings, the intervention created by these works discloses the function of the room and stages a generative opposition not just to the space, but between the works themselves: Martinez’ dead hare is a can be thE bomb, a projectile, an incendiary device meant to provoke a chain reaction that begins at the heart of the gallery/board room.

For the first time in the Fair’s 29-year history, ARCOmadrid is honoring a city, rather than a country, in a special exhibition titled Panorama: Los Angeles, recognizing L.A. as one of the most prolific and vibrant contemporary arts centers in the international art world. Curated by Los Angeles–based independent curators Kris Kuramitsu and Christopher Miles and sponsored by the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Panorama: Los Angeles presents a timely cross-section of the diversity of work being made in L.A. in terms of media, genre, and inclination, and produced by artists who vary in background, generation, and notoriety. The artists are represented by galleries ranging from some of the most longstanding and established in Los Angeles to some that have opened only in the last few years, and span the city from the west-side, to mid-city, to downtown.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 2020 Media Contact: Darius Sabbaghzadeh Kyle Hinton Email: [email protected] [email protected] 11 March – 2 May 2020 Opening reception: Wednesday, 11 March, 6-8pm A Marriage, 2017, oil and acrylic on Celtec PVC panel, 30 1/2 x 34 1/2 (77.5 x 87.6 cm) Venice, CA -- L.A. Louver is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Don Suggs (1945-2019), 11 March – 2 May 2020. Titled Face-Off, the exhibition includes never-before-seen paintings created by Suggs 2017-2019. In this series, Suggs superimposed delineated figurative forms over colorful geometric abstractions. The underlying shapes appear to influence the characteristics and positioning of the graphic characters, which are staged in various stages of confrontation and emotion. While appearing lighthearted upon initial encounter, their subjects, at times, touch on the political but moreover, speak to the human condition. In several works, faces are fractured with line renderings of anthropomorphized trees and animal forms, while others include disembodied human hands and masks; all are marked with the same sharp-witted irreverent intellect and intense interrogation that is a hallmark of Suggs’ long career as an artist. Featuring more than a dozen paintings, the comical portrayals are belied by Suggs’ intrinsic eye for color and his deft mark-making skills, from subtle tonal arrangements and painterly streaks, to bold vibrant contrasts and agile calligraphic lines. A master of the flowing mark, every action is precise, confident and deliberate. However varied in composition, scale and technique, these works are rooted in drawing. Suggs had habitually maintained a routine of drawing on notecards he kept in his shirt pocket.
