SUMMARY:Helms Studio Series
DESCRIPTION:Helms Bakery District presents Helms Studio Series inside the Washington Corridor Gallery\, where the artistry of five individuals converge to offer a captivating experience during the Culver City Art Walk & Roll Festival.\nChris Hero\, a versatile Los Angeles-based painter\, channels two decades of life drawing at Studio II onto salvaged paper\, crafting spontaneous and intuitive masterpieces in acrylics\, inks\, and gouache\, often completed in under half an hour during life-drawing sessions. Meanwhile\, artist David Valvoda captures unique perspectives of the everyday world through photography\, weaving disparate images into captivating compositions. \nKate Leachman explores memory and emotion through oil paintings on canvas and wood\, reimagining personal photos and nature in vibrant colors. Their smaller\, instinctive creations\, known as “Musings\,” provide a delightful escape into the joy of the creative process. Stephanie Kerley Schwartz\, a Los Angeles-based set and costume designer\, combines theater and art in the ongoing project Hypothetical Scenarios\, celebrating the tactile experience of creating with found materials. Finally\, Toby Pederson\, with an illustrious 20-year career as a commercial photographer\, skillfully illuminates the overlooked and mundane\, revealing the beauty in simplicity. \nHelms Studio Series is your invitation to explore these unique artistic journeys and witness the world through their creative lenses. \nFree \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\nChris Hero\nHelms Studio Series presents Chris Hero\, a versatile Los Angeles-based painter with a unique journey through various professions. His current work\, born from two decades of life drawing at Studio II\, involves layering history and surface on salvaged paper. Hero’s spontaneous\, intuitive art uses acrylics\, inks\, and gouache\, with most pieces completed in under half an hour during sessions with life-drawing models. \n\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\nStephanie Kerley Schwartz\nHelms Studio Series presents Hypothetical Scenarios\, works created by Stephanie Kerley Schwartz\, an Los Angeles based set and costume designer working with theaters\, installation artists and painters. Her design work has been seen on stages across Southern California as well as in Portland\, Oregon and Ford’s Theatre in Washington\, DC. \nHypothetical Scenarios is an ongoing project that combines Stephanie’s theater and art practice\, along with her passion for creating interactive environments with found and collected materials. Expanding the relationship between objects and materials fascinates her — exploring the tactile experience of making things\, and the transposed feelings that arise from the combinations. By juxtaposing materials such as raw rope and refined colorful silk\, or discarded rusty metal and precious gold leaf\, her work chases beauty using tactile craft\, finding meaning in the juxtaposition of objects and materials that pass through her hands\, relieving them from the duty of practicality. \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\nKate Leachman\nHelms Studio Series presents Kate Leachman\, a native of Los Angeles\, currently working in Studio II\, Culver City. Kate’s current work centers around people\, places and objects integral to her life. Paintings in oil on canvas or wood are inspired by memories. Resourcing personal photos\, nature and imagination\, she recreates her memory of the subject in vibrant color. Kate’s artistic practice also includes making small mixed media works. Constructed on a variety of paper\, canvas or board\, she explores combinations of wet and dry media. These are instinctive creations she calls “Musings.” A daily practice\, working on the Musings is a liberation from the inherent problem-solving that comes with large paintings and allows Kate to relax into the pure joy of the creative process. \n\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\nToby Pederson\nA graduate of Art Center College of Design\, Toby Pederson\, boasts an impressive 20-year career as a commercial photographer. His collaborative and skilled approach has graced major advertising campaigns\, showcasing his refined style rich in subtlety and detail\, particularly emphasizing lighting. Beyond commercial work\, Toby’s personal still-life photography delves into the often overlooked or mundane\, contrasting with today’s flashy tech-driven world. Armed with extensive photography expertise\, he skillfully highlights and captures simple subjects like construction materials\, insects\, paint\, or even a humble bubble in water. \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\nDavid Valvoda\nDavid Valvoda is a local photographer and artist who hails originally from Cleveland\, OH. David’s photography focuses on the world around us as seen through unique perspectives\, often seeing the dramatic geometry in our everyday surroundings as well as putting disparate images together to create a unique image.

SUMMARY:David Hartwell | Circle of Confusion
DESCRIPTION:Helms Bakery District Presents Photography by David Hartwell\nIn the Helms Design Center\n \nOpening reception and presentation during Culver City Art Walk and Roll Festival. \nExhibition Dates:\nOctober 14th\, presentation 3:00 – 3:45 pm followed by reception.\nOctober 14th – November 17th by appointment \nIn photography\, the circle of confusion determines the depth of field\, the part of an image that is acceptably sharp. Artist photographer David Hartwell sets his sights and lenses on the myriad of plants and flowers that inhabit his garden in Pasadena. David’s art and craft consists of taking hundreds of photographs of each specimen. Inching himself closer to his subject a fraction of a millimeter at a time\, David ends up with images only differentiated by the location of their razor thin focus point\, the circle of confusion. With the aid of AI and a lot of manual post production David reassembles those photos into images that are impossibly sharp\, blurring the boundaries of illustration\, photography and the stored visual memory. This circumvention of the limitations of the lens –the human eye having the same constraints –allows David to physically emulate what the human brain does: synthesize information into a coherent whole. The images are conspicuously simple and familiar yet the resulting amalgams have never been seen by a photographic lens\, nor the human eye. \nDavid Hartwell is a British citizen. He was born and raised in Switzerland where he studied photography and obtained his BFA from Art Center College of Design’s European campus (1991) He is also an accomplished animator\, CG artist and color grader. His work has shown at the Palm Springs Art Museum\, WUHO Gallery in Hollywood\, the Wende Museum of the Cold War\, National Gallery of the Cayman Islands\, National Museum of China in Beijing\, 798 Arts District Beijing\, EPFL University Gallery in Lausanne Switzerland. \nHartwell will present his most recent work which blurs the boundaries of photography\, illustration and the stored visual memory. He will give a presentation about his work and process from 3:00 to 3:45 pm October 14th followed by a reception. \ndouble-bang.com\ninstagram.com/hightechfolkart\nhartwelldavid.com \nFree

DESCRIPTION:Close to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture explores the multidimensional influence of hip-hop on our urban fabric.\nCurated and designed by Sekou Cooke\, and jointly presented by SoCalNOMA\, the A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District\, this dynamic exhibition dives into the rich and vibrant world of hip-hop\, from its fundamental elements of emceeing\, b-boying\, and graffiti\, to its influence on the world of design and architecture.\nThe exhibition shows how hip-hop has been translated into the creation of innovative spaces and structures\, effectively introducing a new narrative in architecture. The works on display include groundbreaking contributions from students\, academics\, and practitioners\, ranging from experimental visualizations and innovative installations to façade studies and urban development proposals. Also on show: a wall newly graffitied by Los Angeles artist Prime. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture is more than an exhibition. It’s a journey into a revolutionary design movement\, revealing a shared vision for the future of architecture that’s deeply rooted in the core ethos of hip hop: identity\, process\, and aesthetics. \nClose to the Edge: The Birth of Hip-Hop Architecture opens on June 22\, with an opening reception on June 24th from 6 pm to 9 pm. It will be accompanied by talks and tours presented by SoCal NOMA\, A+D Museum\, and Helms Bakery District. \nCurator: Sekou Cooke\nExhibition Design: Sekou Cooke\nGraffiti Artist: Prime \nArtwork above: HHA Signifyin’ project by Nate Williams\, 1993. \n\nThe exhibition is free and open to the public. \n8707 Washington Blvd\, Culver City CA 90232 \nExhibition Dates: June 22 – September 17\nHours: Thursday – Sunday 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm \n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			RSVP HERE\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		Close to the Edge Exhibition at SpringBox in St.Paul\, MN.\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		Close to the Edge exhibition at Center for Architecture\, New York\, NY.
