Professor Amy Adler Audition

November 11 - December 22, 2023

Night Gallery West, Los Angeles CA

The works in Audition expand Adler’s universe while simultaneously revealing their roots in her previous lines of inquiry: vulnerability, subject versus authorial agency, and queer desire. On each monumental canvas, Adler drew a different still frame from a single scene she’d cut from one of her short films.

MFA alum Taylor Chapin Tell Me About Yourself

September 23 - December 30, 2023

In her paintings, Taylor Chapin uses bold color, swirling patterns, and enigmatically camouflaged figures to reflect a consumerist society that treats beauty and goods as social currency. In this new body of work, Chapin employs the visual strategies of advertising to reflect on this current moment in which our identity has become our brand.
