Reception: December 18, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Artist Curated Projects, Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles, are you listening? Is there reprieve in the deafening cacophony of revitalization? Over the years and after the fire, technology surpassed utility, towards an ever-shrinking remoteness of human tragedy. For those who crawl inside with urges that defy their logical, structural custodians, who look around and see only somatic frenzy in the hall of infinitely reflective hypocrisy. Is there something redemptive burgeoning in the brink of collapse? We must invent poetry for the new world because it will not simply come to us. The false progression of the world is a cataract in beauty’s eye.

Amanda Cachia is a singular art historian who is rapidly mapping the geography of contemporary art about disability today. Cachia is an accomplished curator, educator, and activist; each of these roles is an essential facet of how she acts as an advocate for and within the disabled community. Her second book, Hospital Aesthetics, positions medical institutions as spaces that play a major role in the material choices of contemporary artists, in contrast with constellations of alternative medicine and networks of care.

HyperSonic Panoramic Dreamz navigates the blurred space between memory, familial histories, fantasies, politics, and the body.

Subject to Change brings together nine internationally recognised artists who work critically with algorithms, datasets, and machine learning – processes often bundled together under the term artificial intelligence (AI). While acknowledging the significant societal impact of fast-developing AI tools, this exhibition focuses on artists who critically engage with their biases, limitations, and possibilities, and in doing so actively shape this new landscape.

Quint Gallery, La Jolla, CA
In addition to Farber’s well-known tabletop compositions, An Up Beat Title highlights a set of late drawings that revisited a style seen in his earlier drawings from the mid-70s. Farber’s late style, while in markmaking returns to a younger version of himself, in gesture appear quick and loose, perhaps even unfinished. These intimate paper works, inspired by Patricia’s gardens, stand as a tender closing chapter to his practice.

These works offer a multifaceted exploration of American Modernism’s relationship to Mexican culture that challenges dominant narratives of North American art. His work merges his academic background in art history with his upbringing in the postmodern drift of Tijuana’s urban landscape and later youth in the cultural sterility of suburban San Diego.
