Join us in the Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) Gallery on Saturday, September 16th from 2-4pm for the Closing Reception and Catalog Launch for our two Summer exhibitions, Solace / Sublime and Part Two! a shadow out of the noise.
About Solace / Sublime:
Solace / Sublime is a group exhibition featuring artists who look to phenomena of the natural world as a primary source of inspiration. This exhibition is curated by Molly Enholm Velazco, with works by Samantha Fields, Megan Frances, Yvette Gellis, Virginia Katz, R. Nelson Parrish, and Molly Enholm Velazco. Through a combination of fragmented and representational imagery, these artists embrace the enduring dichotomies of the natural world: the overwhelming and the minute, the eternal and the ephemeral, the solace and the sublime.
About Part Two! a shadow out of the noise:
A hyper-visceral experience is created by Beck+Col’s avant-garde use of opera, heavy metal, and fantastical wearable sculptures in their otherworldly performances. Creating overwhelming sensations that employ both the visual and auditory in decidedly non-traditional contexts, Beck+Col unleash the inner-self to arrive at raw and unrestrained human experience. For this performance of Part Two! a shadow out of the noise, in collaboration with Kayla Aguila and Tetiana Sklyarova, Beck+Col play on the gothic concept of the double, exploring the horror that arises from the appearance of one’s exact duplicate. A followup to Part One, in which a single being is split into two mirrored images by a dark outside force, Part Two! follows them on a chaotic path desperately trying to reunite in the underworld.
These exhibitions are supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles and the Pasadena Art Alliance.
