SUMMARY:Culver City ArtWalk 2017 Comes to the District on October 7th!
DESCRIPTION:Free\nAs we transition from summer to autumn\, the art scene around town also shifts seasons with new gallery openings\, Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA\, and over in our little bit of the city\, CULVER CITY ARTWALK – a self-guided walking tour and celebration of all things creative in our community. \nOn Saturday\, October 7th from 2 to 6pm\, we are pleased to welcome artists and makers who will activate the Helms Bakery campus and engage our community in a creative dialogue. Begin your tour at Helms Avenue heading east along Washington Boulevard for an arts and entertainment adventure. A full calendar of events includes music\, art installations\, performances\, gallery openings\, dance\, a doggie parade and much more! Check out the Culver City Arts District website and Facebook page for complete details. \nHere are the not-to-miss happenings at Helms Bakery\, inside the Helms Design Center and along Helms Walk\, our pedestrian plaza on Helms Avenue. \n\nART GALLERY INSTALLATION: 2 to 6 pm\nPLACE \nNew Works by Renée Amitai\, Kim Abeles\, Rachel X Hobreigh\, and Debra Dobkin\nPLACE refers simultaneously to a location and the action for going there. In this way\, we can remember the places of our past\, and imagine others in a sense of longing. The four artists in the exhibition make use of painting\, drawing\, photography\, printmaking\, and sculpture to define the ethereal dream that is PLACE. Click here for more information. \nHelms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City \n\nINSTALLATION + PERFORMANCE: 2 to 6 pm\nSTRANDS\, featuring artists Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo \nStrands draws from three artists’ unique mediums and perspective to demonstrate a common contemplation of the past and future\, traditions and modernity\, eastern and western art practices\, and the struggle to juggle multiple identities such as women and artists (to name just two) ALL at once within one given time and space. \nIn addition to the open gallery\, we will host two 15-minute performances at 3 pm and 4 pm. The performance piece is a visualization and reenactment of how  ‘strands’ is perceived by three female Asian artists. These artists use traditional tools to give voice to contemporary issues\, using lines from textile\, brush strokes and instruments to connect us\, bind us\, and hopefully de-tangle all the knots of illusions that are detracting us from the ‘truth’. Click here for more information. \nHelms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City \n\nTEXTILE ARTS LA POPUP COLLECTIVE: 2 TO 6 PM\n \nWe are excited to partner with Textile Arts LA to bring you a one-day-only popup collective of artists and makers whose work explores texture\, form\, sculpture\, materials and purpose.

Williams’ work finds space in the natural\, exposing outstanding and devastating stages of human evolution. “To provoke thought\, a question works better than answers.  I enjoy to start a story I resolve in different ways depending on my mood\,” says Williams.  With imagery ranging from stark silhouettes to lush landscapes and human forms staged in undetermined acts of hope\, his pairing of words and imagery suggest deeper meaning. A poignant visualization of the inherent human struggle both ancient and contemporary. Click here for more information. \n8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City \n\nFOOD & BEVERAGE: All Day\nHelms Bakery is home to acclaimed restaurants including Father’s Office\, La Dijonaise Cafe\, Lukshon\, the Helms Bakery treat truck and the Let’s Be Frank hot dog truck.

SUMMARY:"STRANDS"\, an Art Installation + Performance with Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 7 from 2 to 6 pm\, please join us for STRANDS\, a special presentation and performance of three artists\, Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo\, in partnership with the Culver City Arts District. \nAmabelle is a fiber artist and sculptor with extensive background in clothing design\, Joy is a masterful Chinese dulcimer player trained in China Central Academy Of Fine Arts who also plays the electric bass\, and Si Jie is an ink painter who dives into the spirit of ancient China to contemplate modernity. All of them work in mediums that are traditionally passed down from generation to generation but yearn to grow and innovate in this ever changing world as citizens of today. \nThe performance piece is a visualization & reenactment of how  ‘strands’ is perceived by three female Asian artists: Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo. These artists are using traditional tools to give voice to contemporary issues\, using lines from textile\, brush strokes and instruments to connect us\, bind us\, and hopefully de-tangle all the knots of illusions that are detracting us from the ‘truth’. Two 15-minute performances are scheduled at 3 pm and 4 pm. \n“Strands” draws from these artists’ unique mediums and perspective to demonstrate a common contemplation of the past and future\, traditions and modernity\, eastern and western art practices\, and the struggle to juggle multiple identities\, such as women and artist\, ALL at once within one given time and space. \nAmabelle Aguiluz has joined Helms as an artist in residence from September 21 thru October 8. You may visit her in the studio on Tuesdays from 11:00 am to 3 pm. \nAbout the Artists \nAmabelle Aguiluz is a fiber artist living in Los Angeles. She expresses the flow of life as an infinite web of interconnections using the medium of fiber as a symbolic map; linking us to the past\, revealing stories about culture\, and connecting us together. Her preference for using found materials allows her time to explore the process of transformation while collecting and analyzing the materials of her production. Amabelle uses her art as a means to connect with history\, nature\, and her surroundings. Her practice incorporates clothing\, textile\, sculpture\, and installation processes that are presented as free form sculptures and are often incorporated into live performance\, video\, and photographs. She studied at Politecnico di Milano\, Italy and graduated in 2011 from the Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York BFA in Fashion Design. Aguiluz’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including the La Triennale Internationale des Arts Textiles in Outaouais\, Canada. \nSi Jie Loo is a multi-disciplinary artist who is interested in capturing the spirit of humanity\, primarily with Chinese Ink. She received her BA from Dartmouth College with an honors in Studio Art and has since exhibited in both US and Malaysia. As an artist in the diaspora\, she is constantly on the move between places\, cultures\, music genres and languages. One of Si Jie’s creative processes involves tapping into the spirit of Ancient China by embarking on an annual art pilgrimage through various region in China. She inks down captivating people\, musicians\, dancers and nature on the road to further inspire her studio work. Most recently\, she traveled to the Tibetan plateau and the Silk Route in Northeast China. Since returning from her art residency in Malaysia last December\, Si Jie has been working from her home studio in Santa Barbara\, occasionally spotted taking pottery classes\, dancing\, drumming and practicing Taichi in her community. \nJoy Wu is a musician and a lover of culture\, music\, film and art. She started her music journey at the age of four\, influenced by her dear grandmother. Trained in classical music\, she went to Central Conservatory of Music\, in Beijing\, China\, for her traditional Chinese instrument Yangqin. Joy is a member of China Nationalities Orchestra Society\, CNOS. To follow her love for American culture\, she moved to California and received her BA from UC Santa Barbara. Joy is currently based in Los Angeles. \nAbout Yangqin: Yangqin is also called “Chinese dulcimer”. Similar hammered dulcimers are played in Eastern Europe\, the Middle East\, Portugal\, Italy\, India\, Iran and Pakistan. The origin of Yangqin is still a mystery to us today. Many historians say it is originally from Persia\, now modern Iran\, during the Ming Dynasty (late 14th c. to 15th c.) through the Silk Road. Others say it is introduced by sea through the port of Canton during the 16th century when the Portuguese and Italian traders performed for locals. It has been in China for hundreds of years. The construction of Yangqin has a considerable resemblance to Iran’s Santur. It has five bridges\, up to 140 more strings\, and to play with a pair of hammers made with bamboo.

SUMMARY:Donna Sternberg & Dancers Perform On Helms Walk
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, November 5th please join us for a special presentation by Donna Sternberg & Dancers of Bodies of Water\, a site-specific performance that weaves together dance\, music\, spoken word\, and art installation to examine the timely issue of water. Two performances of Bodies of Water\, at 12 noon and again at 2PM\, will take place in front of our over-sized water faucet fountain on Helms Walk\, our pedestrian plaza on Helms Avenue between Washington and Venice Boulevards.  Admission is free and open to the public. \nAlong with soundscape artist Rima Snyder and installation artist Moses Hacmon\, Donna Sternberg & Dancers will explore the political\, historical and aesthetic aspects of water.  “Water\, the giver of life\, connects us to the most elemental aspects of the earth as well as to each other in a dance of co-existence.”  Hacmon’s breathtaking\, haunting collection of photographic images of water have been made into 18 large panels\, 4 X 8 feet\, that will be displayed as a backdrop to the dancers.  Live musicians will perform music composed by Snyder\, who has also created a recorded soundscape that includes poetry.  This performance is made possible\, in part\, by a Culver City Performing Arts Grant. \nAbout the Artists \nFounded in 1985\, Donna Sternberg & Dancers (DS&D) is a non-profit contemporary dance company that has premiered over 80 works\, including 8 full evening-length performances.  Discovery is our passion and we believe the act of discovery to be transformative.  The company performs in site-specific locations such as parks\, galleries\, libraries and on the beach as well as in traditional theaters.  DS&D has performed throughout California\, and is the resident guest artist at Rancho La Puerta in Tecate\, Mexico.  It has been featured in publications such as Dance Magazine\, Dance Spirit\, Los Angeles Times\, radio and television (PBS\, City TV).  The company has received funding from state and local governmental agencies\, businesses and foundations. Jessica Abrams of exploredance.com states:  “Donna Sternberg’s talent (is) a maker of dances as technically stunning as they are dramatically resonant.  Sternberg’s dancers are incredible technicians\, but it is their dramatic presence that (makes) them stellar performers.” \nRima Snyder is a composer\, singer and audio editor.  She has a BA in music from Pomona College and an MFA in music composition from the California Institute of the Arts.  She has over 25 years of experience in the audio industry\, including 12 years at National Public Radio as an audio engineer and assistant producer.  Rima does audio post production for radio documentaries\, music and arts features\, and sound effects editing for film.  She has composed many works for chorus and chamber ensembles. \nMoses Hacmon\, born in 1977 in Tel-Aviv\, Israel\, is an artist and architect.  He studied cinematography and fine art at Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel-Aviv. In 2006 Moses completed his B.Arch with AIA honors award\, from SCI Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture). He has spent ten years studying water’s composition\, properties\, and movement\, developing a photographic technique that captures the hidden life of this substance for the first time.

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Olivia Bee And Special Guest\, BØRNS
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 14th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host Olivia Bee in a celebration of the publication of her book Kids In Love. Joining Olivia will be her friend and very special musical guest\, BØRNS\, who will present an acoustic set as part of the evening’s festivities. \nOlivia Bee is celebrated for her dreamy\, evocative portraits and landscapes rich with implied narratives of intimacy\, freedom\, and adventure. Her first full-length book Kids in Love from Aperture showcases two bodies of photographic work\, including the series “Enveloped in a Dream” that first brought Bee recognition as a teenager. These images offer a visual diary of girlhood friendship and the exploration of self\, showcasing Bee’s unique ability to convey the bittersweet nostalgia of adolescence on the brink of adulthood and new possibilities. The second\, “Kids in Love”\, is a photographic chronicle of her circle of friends and new loves\, capturing both the pleasures and terrors of the fleeting passage of romanticized youth. While the work continues to evolve\, what remains constant is her seductive use of color and photographic artifact\, as well as the immediacy and charge of each image. \nBee gives voice to the self-awareness and visual fluency of the millennial generation. Experiences are sharply felt\, and easily communicated and shared\, generating visual records that render these memories as significant as the moments themselves. Tavi Gevinson\, founding editor of the online magazine “Rookie” as well as Bee’s frequent collaborator and model writes about the work and about the role of images as social currency in today’s image-driven world. \n8675 Washington Boulevard\n310-458-1499 \n
