This immersive exhibition tells the story of a unique mid-20th-century collaboration between artists and engineers. It explores the beginnings of the organization Experiments in Art and Technology, or E.A.T., as well as two of its most pivotal projects: 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering and the iconic Pepsi-Cola Pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan, both of which pursued groundbreaking integrations of theater, dance, technology, and interactive, multimedia art.

A noted abstractionist, Morrison is known for work that conveys the aesthetic, spiritual, and geographic influences of his birthplace and the passionate beginnings of Abstract Expressionism in New York during the 1940s and 1950s. Born and raised on the north shore of Lake Superior, Minnesota, Morrison moved to New York in 1943 on a scholarship. In 1952, he traveled to France as a Fulbright Scholar; there, he continued to develop a signature abstract style that combined elements of Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism.

‘And Then Came the Environment’ presents a range of Gustav Metzger’s scientific works merging art and science from 1961 onward, highlighting his advocacy for environmental awareness and the possibilities for the transformation of society, as well as his latest experimental works, created in 2014. The exhibition title comes from Metzger’s groundbreaking 1992 essay ‘Nature Demised’ wherein he proclaims an urgent need to redefine our understanding of nature in relation to the environment. Metzger explains that the politicized term ‘environment’ creates a disconnect from the natural world, manipulating public perception to obscure pollution and exploitation caused by wars and industrialization, and that it should be renamed ‘Damaged Nature.’

New York-based artist Firelei Báez has achieved wide acclaim over the past decade for her rigorous paintings, drawings and immersive installations that explore the influences of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. Conjuring forgotten narratives, Báez carefully fills history’s lacunae with joyful rebellion. In her first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth since joining the gallery in 2023, Báez presents new large-scale canvases, drawings and her first-ever bronze sculpture at the gallery’s Downtown Arts District center in Los Angeles. Complex and layered, Báez’s work depicts fantastical hybrid figures and reimagined worlds. Employing beauty to reprocess the enduring effects of violence and trauma, Báez challenges traditional representations of history, nationality, gender and race. United by common cause, the paintings incorporate a wide range of subjects including art history, science fiction, anthropology, pop culture, folklore and fantasy. ‘The fact that it amazes me does not mean I relinquish it’ is a reference to the work of Martinican writer and philosopher Édouard Glissant, a key figure in shaping theories informing the Caribbean’s influence on the global stage. Drawing inspiration from Glissant’s text, ‘Poetics of Relation’ (1990)—from which the title directly quotes—Báez navigates the tensions between identity and place, using Glissant’s concept of opacity to explore modes of resistance, namely the ability to navigate the world freely within a refusal of being fully understood—both to others and to oneself. Báez considers mythology an important tool, ‘a way of correcting the past and projecting a different future.’ Growing up in the Dominican Republic, the artist heard local folk stories about a mythic femme trickster called a ‘ciguapa’ who was known for her elusiveness. While such lore was shared to discourage unruly and wild behavior, Báez has embraced the ciguapa in her work as a figure of endless possibility. Ever-morphing and multiplying, her composite creatures are often depicted with human legs, a coat of delicate fur and backwards facing feet so that she remains traceless and ultimately unknowable. In the ciguapa, Báez explores the body as a living archive, a shape-shifting repository of meaning and history, whose continuous transformation is inherently defiant.

Gagosian is pleased to announce Exhibiting Forgiveness, an exhibition of new paintings by Titus Kaphar at the gallery in Beverly Hills. Shown here for the first time, this group of paintings is featured in the artist’s first narrative feature film, Exhibiting Forgiveness (2023), which debuted at Sundance this year and will be released theatrically nationwide on October 18. The semi-autobiographical Exhibiting Forgiveness stars André Holland as Tarrell Rodin, an accomplished painter whose life is upended by an unexpected reunion with his father, La’Ron (John Earl Jelks), a recovering addict who hopes to rebuild a relationship with his estranged son. Tarrell, now an active and loving father and husband, is skeptical despite the encouragement of his mother. Written and directed by Kaphar, Exhibiting Forgiveness follows his documentary shorts Shut Up and Paint (2022, shortlisted in the Documentary Short Film category of the 95th Academy Awards) and The Jerome Project (2016)—the latter of which was inspired by a painting series initiated in 2014 exploring the artist’s relationship with his own estranged father. Exhibiting Forgiveness is a direct, though fictionalized, extension of The Jerome Project. In addition to portraits, the Exhibiting Forgiveness paintings depict figures, façades of neighborhood houses, personal objects, and ephemera. These are emotionally and intellectually charged pieces. The paintings preceded the film; as Kaphar says, “they spring from the same personal, emotional and psychological well” that is the source for all his work. Combining a mastery of oil painting techniques with application of heterogenous mediums and innovative methods, Kaphar challenges conventional representation to provoke deep contemplations of family, community, and memory. Painting some canvases in highly saturated palettes and draining others of color, he combines gold leaf with tar—suggesting both divine transcendence and being stuck. Kaphar renders grief and loss, obscuring bodies, or removing them outright with knife-cut excisions. What remains is a testament to how we continue to live despite our wounds.

In her first solo exhibition in Los Angeles in over a decade, British artist Shirazeh Houshiary presents her latest and most recent works, exploring the origins of life and the mysteries of the universe, from the microscopic cellular level to the stratospheric phenomenon of the Northern Lights. The show’s title relates to the Zen Buddhist teaching that instructs students to listen to the sound of one hand clapping in order to open their hearts to the possibility and transcend the constraints of the body. Although not a Zen practitioner, Houshiary realises that her work revolves around the ongoing sound of one of her hands, leaving tiny, looping, scratched marks with pencil on large aluminium surfaces, constructing worlds through the silence of the words she inscribes.

Join artists Terrick Gutierrez & Jazmin Urrea on Saturday, September 14th from 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM as they unveil their public art installations addressing food justice and community health at MudTown Farms! DATE Saturday, September 14, 2024 TIME 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Opening Reception 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM: Panel discussion ARTISTS & PUBLIC ART INSTALLATIONS Artist: Terrick Gutierrez Public Art Installation: Why is There A Liquor Store on Almost Every Corner? Why Is There A Liquor Store on Almost Every Corner? is a six-foot-high sign addressing issues including food insecurity and discriminatory zoning. Inspired by the artist's experience in South Central LA, where liquor stores were prevalent but healthy food options scarce, the sign questions this disparity. It resembles a traditional liquor store sign but asks a critical question. The back features a map of South Central, heatmap of liquor stores, and an image of a local store, with interactive sliding panels. Artist: Jazmín Urrea Public Art Installation: El Barrilito de Fuego Jazmín Urrea addresses the lack of access to fresh food and health risks from artificial dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 6 in communities with limited resources. In her hometown of Watts, she will highlight these issues with an installation at MudTown Farms. In September, Urea and MudTown Farms will unveil the installation and co-host a snack workshop for local children alongside a chef. This initiative aims to empower and educate youth about food equity, fostering awareness and sustainable change. Jazmín Urrea and Terrick Gutierrez were commissioned through the Public Artists in Development (PAiD) program and are members of the PAiD Artist Council. PAiD is a Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture program funded by the Mellon Foundation with support in development and delivery by Dyson & Womack. PAiD is designed to advance the career growth and economic empowerment of underrepresented artists in LA County through mentorship, professional development, breaking down barriers to inclusion, and engaging diverse artists as advisors to changing institutional practices.

Throughout a career spanning six decades, Los Angeles-based artist Helen Lundeberg (1908-1999) held an enduring fascination with the structures and patterns underpinning the natural world and the universe beyond it. From her early scientific illustrations of flowers, seeds, and human embryos to the highly abstracted mountains, planets, and waterways she painted in her later career, Lundeberg’s work traces a unifying structural organization across terrestrial and cosmic orders of magnitude. Relying as much on calculated formal composition as on the subjective engagement of the viewer, Lundeberg’s work straddles the permeable borders between observation and memory, perception and imagination, and physical and psychological space. Louis Stern Fine Arts is part of PST ART as a Gallery Program Participant. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present.
