Monica Duncan: 'I Feel Different' at LACE - Oct 20-Jan 24 '10

Announcement | Student Project


Monica Duncan

I Feel Different

October 20 - January 24, 2010

Opening Reception on Tuesday, 20 October 2009, 8PM
with performances by resident artist Niña Yhared (1814) and James Luna

LACE Gallery, 6522 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90028

LACE is pleased to present I Feel Different, a multi-media group exhibition organized by guest curator Dr. Jennifer Doyle. This provocative project explores both the experience of feeling different from others and the transformative powers of emotion – to make one feel differently. The participating artists each make work about and of emotional intensity, featuring Nao Bustamante, Lezley Saar, David Wojnarowicz, Monica Duncan, Lara Odell, Susan Silton, and Niña Yhared (1814).

Los Angeles-based author and academic Jennifer Doyle examines the way in which personal feelings are often guarded in social settings and deemed inappropriate. When an artist successfully overrides the self-consciousness and the inhibitions that settle on us in social places, it comes as a shock. Finding ourselves overwhelmed with actual emotion – crying, laughing, afraid, disgusted, aroused, and outraged – can leave us feeling more than a little naked.

VALS Presents Mungo Thomson - Nov 17 '09, 6:30PM - VAF Performance Space

Visual Arts Department Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presents:

Mungo Thomson

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 @ 6:30pm

Visual Arts Facility Performance Space, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093

VALS is pleased to present Mungo Thomson. In the words of artist Margaret Morgan, Mungo Thomson is a “polymorphous, bastard conceptualist”—a designation hard to improve on, given the artist’s promiscuously wideranging art. By turns deadpan and caustically sly—he has manufactured Styrofoam antenna balls emblazoned with John Baldessari’s bearded visage and bumper stickers bearing Bruce Nauman’s doxa “The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths”—Thomson’s inherently conversational practice both gamely Pop-i_es is often antiaesthetic historical precedents and resituates that generation’s thought experiments in the social realm. In the white cube, Thomson’s interventions pressure their containers by rendering them visible in the absence of other work. Wind Chime (1999) a handmade chorus of wood and copper that responds to movement, _its the space with only the possibility of sound when the air is still. Building on this for the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Coat Check Chimes (2008) involves replacing the Museum’s coat-check hangers with custom-fabricated “tuned” metal hangers that - although peripheral to the galleries—bracket the viewer’s experience of the show.

VALS Presents Abraham Cruz Villegas - Nov 3 '09, 6:30PM - VAF Performance Space

Visual Arts Department Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presents:

Abraham Cruz Villegas

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 @ 6:30pm

Visual Arts Facility Performance Space, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093

VALS is pleased to present Abraham Cruz Villegas.

For the 2002 Sao Paulo Biennial, Cruz Villegas wrote “However art makes itself evident, it shall remain, above all, raw source material in all its natural, unstable, physical, chaotic and crystalline states: solid, liquid, colloidal and gaseous. It is the joy of energy.” This would explain the use of materials in his work. Feathers, banana leaves, balloons and seashells are just a few of the materials used to make his conceptual sculptures. Cruz Villegas has an interesting attitude towards subject and materials. The sculptures are “there”, in the space. By virtue of them being “there”, they become relevant, interesting and worth a second look.
