To have "Grit" is to persevere, to endure, to revel in the feelings of physical pain and discomfort. Jon Picinich's exploration of this idea lends itself to a physical approach to mark-making, performance, and material. The work deals with physical expression as a vessel for finding identity while grappling with what it means to be masculine.

Deep Roles investigates performance as both subject and inheritance. At its center is A Doll's House, an experimental documentary short that explores the legacy of growing up in a family of performers, where the theater served as a pathway to both create and avoid intimacy. Through drawing, installation, and film, Deep Roles asks what it means to perform for, with, and against the people that came before you.

Reception: April 4, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Make Room, Los Angeles, CA

Material is often understood as stable, yet across contemporary practice, it increasingly functions otherwise; materials carry within them traces of time, systems of circulation, or conditions of perception. Across these artists' respective practices, material remains unresolved, layered, mediated, and reconfigured, holding together multiple temporalities and contexts simultaneously.

Circular Stories is an exhibition of pieces that explore the enduring, yet constantly shifting nature of our world. I am interested in the many cycles that we see around us. The life cycle, for example, moves in a constant loop of birth, life, death, decomposition, and birth once again.

Curated by Mashonda Tifrere, the exhibition is framed conceptually through Ringgold’s relationship to UC San Diego, where she served as professor of visual arts from 1984 to 2002. This institutional affiliation provides a lens for understanding how her academic philosophy materialized throughout her practice and impacted not only those she mentored at UC San Diego, but generations of artists around the world.
