Visual Arts Department Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presents:
William Cordova
October 28th at 7PM
Visual Arts Facility Performance Space, UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
VALS is pleased to present William Cordova. Cordova’s work is tied to an urban ecology of obsolescence, disparity, and displacement. Busted cars, trashed tires, discarded shoes, machetes, speakers, and books yellowed with age provide the material support and iconographic program for his drawings, collages, and installations. For the artist, these material choices reference the reality of lived experience, as opposed to the spectacle of culture, mass-produced for constant consumption. The fluency with which Cordova traverses media and remixes cultural signifiers confirms his visual multilinguism, as barbed as it is lived-in.
“Cordova has been preoccupied with issues of transformation and interpretation since his youth, owing partly to his own transitions between countries, economies, and languages. Having recently moved from Lima to Miami, the six-year-old found comfort in the sight of what he thought were familiar Peruvian cajón drums scattered on the streets, but which were in fact discarded speaker boxes...Much of Cordova’s work induces similarly uncanny interpretive spirals, abetted not by arbitrary Surrealist juxtapositions but the all-too-common strangeness of our own detritus and the too-often repressed histories they conceal” - SUZANNE HUDSON

Shane Anderson and Zac Montanaro
Landscape and Memory
September 23 to November 1, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, September 25, from 6-9pm.
Gallery Project, 215 South Fourth Avenue in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Gallery Project presents Landscape and Memory, an exhibition examining how the memory of the land itself shapes us.
Landscape and Memory seeks the experience and sensation of landscape, tracing memory beyond symbol and image, to find a place in-between land and mind that is grounded in shared human experience, evolution, geology, and memory. Skyscrapers, landfill mounds, and industrialized agriculture often lead society to collectively assume that, via human engineering and construction, it is we who shape the landscape to ourselves. In contrast to this line of thought, Landscape and Memory presents the self as shaped by environment and landscape. Artists include Shane Anderson, Katherine E. Bash, Jennilie Brewster, Rocco DePietro, Sarah Kanouse, Catherine Meier, Zac Montanaro, Bruce Myren, Anne Percoco, Marianetta Porter, Gloria Pritschet, Terri Sarris, Matthew Shlian, Joshua Ray Smith, and Mary Tsiongas
The exhibit is curated by Catherine Meier and Joshua Smith.

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.
