The cheerleader is an undeniably American symbol. Ever since females wrestled the organized "yell squad" out of its all-male origins in 1923, women in matching short skirts have served as cultural icons in camps as disparate as Monday-night football, music videos, and pay-per view porn.

POSTBORDER PROPOSALS / PROPUESTAS POSTFRONTERIZAS
Opening Reception on May 9, 2009, 4:00pm
Exhibition runs May 1-23, 2009
Plaza de la Raza, Boathouse Gallery, 3540 North Mission Road, Los Angeles, CA 90031
POSTBORDER PROPOSALS / PROPUESTAS POSTFRONTERIZAS is a convening of artists working on both sides of the U.S./Mexico border as well as young artists from as far away as the Middle East. Their work considers the complex dynamics of border areas and liminal spaces, and engages the experience of displacement and immigration. The works in this art exhibition provide a doorway into cultural, sociological, and geographic spaces marked by hybridity and proposal that move away from the simple binaries by immigration and foreign policy and essentialist platforms.

RAUMLABOR-BERLIN

UC San Diego, Visual Arts Facility Performance Space, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
Raumlabor-Berlin began working on the issues of contemporary architecture and urbanism in 1999. In various interdisciplinary working teams we investigate strategies for urban renewal. Raumlabor does urban design, architectural design, build, interactive environments, research. Raumlabor Berlin is engaged with temporarily transforming locations: a gallery into a laboratory, a public square into a location for scientific discourse or a cold corridor into a place with new social qualities. When spaces are meant not only to be neutral shells for content but also to convey particular functions and serve as catalysts, the way of dealing with these spaces, their design and programming have to be integral components of the overall conception.

Visiting Artist Lecture Series Presents:
Monica Majoli
Thursday, April 16th, 2009 | 7PM
UC San Diego, Visual Arts Performance Space, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
The Visiting Artist Lecture Series is proud to present an exciting guest artist, Monica Majoli.
Monica Majoli's figurative paintings from the early 1990s to the present have depicted scenes of sexual fetishism— painstakingly actuated self-portraits with dildos or claustrophobically populated representations of S&M encounters between men. But she focuses less on the transcription of physical experience than on the suggestion of its most obdurate, if ineffable, psychological aspects and ramifications. Investigating themes and rituals of identity, intimacy, and mortality, Majoli's work is both a site for catharsis and an admission of its irresolution. A painting such as Untitled (1990), a small panel showing a slice of a woman's scarred pelvis, paradoxically implies intractable psychic distance that is unmitigated by corporeal proximity.
