SUMMARY:practiceLAB: Textile Arts Explores Meaningful Art Practices
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 29th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm\, please join us for Mindful and Meaningful: Exploring the Synergies Between Textile Waste and Fine Art Practice\, Textile Arts LA‘s inaugural session of practiceLAB\, featuring talks from artists\, architects\, designers\, and creatives. \nIn this session\, we are treated to a discussion of how artists and designers can work together to create a more sustainable future. Three Los Angeles based artists share their diverse practices and individual experiences\, creating responsible objects that honor the past and endure in the future. \nIf you attended the October Textile Slam you were treated to a sneak preview of this talk. We’re thrilled to invite the trio back for a longer form discussion of this critical topic: questions of sustainability\, reuse\, and upcycling are necessary considerations. Please join this lively presentation and discussion showcasing how three artists are responding. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \n \nRenae Barnard is a multi-disciplinary artist interested in exploring the network of interactions between environment\, perception\, and well-being. Using found materials and waste from the furniture manufacturing industry\, Barnard received her Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University and her BA from California State University\, Los Angeles. Barnard has recently completed projects in cooperation with the National Immigration Law Center and the City of Santa Monica Department of Cultural Affairs. She is a recipient of the Sue Arlen Walker and Harvey M. Parker Memorial Fellowship\, the Armory Center for the Arts Teaching Artist Fellowship\, The Ahmanson Annual Fellowship\, Lincoln Fellowship Award\, and Christopher Street West Art and Culture Grant. \n \nChuck Hohng is a Korean American artist\, born in Long Beach California. Chuck spent fourteen years of his early life in his family’s native South Korea. He received his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Art Center College of Design. His early childhood exposure to Catholic practice and a bicultural household furthered interests in vanitas\, identities\, symbols\, and rituals. Chuck makes a range of fiber artworks from teddy bears to haute couture hanbok. Exploring salvaged textiles connections to love and loss\, Chuck’s artworks give a physical body to intellectual and emotional experiences. He believes we can always grow out of the mud\, lift ourselves above the murky water and bloom. \n \nAneesa Shami received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in both Fiber and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute. Aneesa’s work speaks to a broader understanding that we are all fundamentally human. She tries to utilize universal themes that are inclusive\, referencing the sublime\, and an otherworldly sense of the human conscious and subconscious. A love for repetitive mark-making drives her practice. Multiple strands of yarn\, strips of felt\, and even pen strokes build depth and density in each piece. Layers of material and process combine to lend the impression that there is more than what the eye sees. She recently completed a residency at the Helms Design Center\, is currently researching textile and fiber history and is completing large sculptural pieces in her current body of work\, Syndication.

SUMMARY:A New Vision for the Westside\, a Panel Discussion with WUF
DESCRIPTION:Will the Westside change dramatically or will plans maintain the status quo? On Friday\, November 22nd from 7:15 to 9:00 am\, please join Westside Urban Forum’s breakfast discussion inside the Helms Design Center. \nOne of the many results of the failed\, but influential\, Measure S of 2017 was the City of Los Angeles’s pledge to hasten its historically slow process of updating Community Plans. The stakes have never been higher\, with climate change\, traffic\, the housing crisis\, and myriad other forces bearing down on the Westside. \nWhile the City’s General Plan Framework Element establishes citywide principles for growth and development\, its Community Plans collectively comprise the bedrock of urban planning\, from visionary aspirations down to neighborhood-specific details. The Department of City Planning has completed several Community Plans since 2015 and is now working on its first four Westside updates: West Los Angeles\, Palms/Mar Vista/Del Rey\, Venice\, and Westchester/Playa del Rey. The planning process is being accelerated – to three years rather than what has historically taken up to a decade. All of which may add up to a spirited\, and necessary\, discussion about the future of the community – and a challenge for the city to mediate. \nThis month at WUF\, they will discuss the community planning process\, get a status update on the Westside plans\, and hear about the city’s initial vision for the future of the Westside. They will interrogate the processes for recently updated plans to learn how Westside stakeholders can share their visions with the city and discuss how the plans might respond to the re:codeLA project. Meanwhile\, the plans will have to respond to new state and regional mandates concerning housing targets and\, of course\, will undergo scrutiny from stakeholders\, the City Planning Commission\, and City Council. \nPANELISTS\nShana Bonstin\, Dep. Director of Community Planning\, Los Angeles Dept. of City Planning\nTom Donovan\, Esq.\, Former Chair\, West Los Angeles Planning Commission\nRomerol Malveaux\, Liemert Park Activist and former Dept. of Neighborhood Empowerment Field Director\nMott Smith\, Co-Founder\, Civic Enterprise \n7:15am Registration\n7:30am Breakfast\n7:45am Panel Discussion \nClick Here to Register \n$50 members\n$65 nonmembers\n$10 student members\n$15 student nonmembers \nPre-registration closes on Wednesday\, November 20\, 2019. After November 20\, 2019 and at onsite registration the cost will be an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this date.

SUMMARY:Women's MMA Art Exhibition Opens on June 6th
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, June 6th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm\, please join us for the opening reception of WOMENʼS MMA- MIXED MEDIA ART 2019\, a five-artist exhibition that packs a punch. \nThis exhibition showcases various techniques and materials from five diverse perspectives; across sculpture\, painting\, collage\, ceramic and neon. \nShelley Heffler transforms found materials\, discarded vinyl advertising and textured acrylic strips to create woven sculpture\, twisting the traditions of feminine crafts with new contemporary forms. \nMarla Fields abstracts the human perception\, layered and obscured\, vibrant and vibrating. Her own vision echoing with the universal. Attempting to connect a disrupted narrative and depict the contradictions of a harmonious yet chaotic new world. \nKaoru Mansour’s delicate\, hyper-realistic\, organisms are suspended in planes of linear design and boundless space. We are given a macrocosmic and microscopic view simultaneously. \nSinan Revell reconfigures the works of male\, surrealist masters collaging female silhouettes on cut-out textures and landscapes. Her Nature Morte installation mixes ceramic with found seed pods. Pink bullets\, S&M postures and neon signage portray a glimpse in to the dystopian\nfuture. \nMika Revellʼs work confronts the viewer with an electrifying shock.

Her work has been supported by a number of fellowships\, including from the CASVA\, the Graham Foundation\, the Harvard Center for European Studies\, the Radcliffe Institute\, and the Princeton Society of Fellows. \nAllais is associate professor at Princeton University School of Architecture.

While studying for his degree at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)\, Ball logged a stint at Gehry Partners. Upon graduation\, he sought work as a set and production designer for films (including the Matrix series) as well as music videos and commercials with such influential directors as Mark Romanek and Tony Scott. His experience ranges from work on the Disney Concert Hall and small residential architectural commissions for boutique design firms to complex medical structures and event design. \nGaston Nogues was born and raised in Buenos Aires before moving to Los Angeles at the age 12. Frequently accompanying his father to his job as an aerospace engineer\, Nogues acquired a fascination with the hands-on process of building. An honors graduate in architecture from SCI-Arc\, he moved directly from school into a position at Gehry Partners where he worked in product design and production; he then became a specialist in creative fabrication. Nogues remained at Gehry’s office until 2005 (except for a one-year stint in 1996 as an assistant curator at a fine arts publishing house\, Gemini GEL). In his spare time\, Nogues flies paragliders. \nBall-Nogues is a collaborative design and fabrication studio led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues that produces architecture\, art\, and industrial objects. The studio has exhibited at major institutions throughout the world\, including the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art; the Guggenheim Museum; PS1; Indianapolis Museum of Art\, arc en rêve centre d’architecture + Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux; the Venice Biennale\, the Hong Kong | Shenzhen Biennale; and the Beijing Biennale. They have received numerous honors including two AIA Design Awards\, United States Artists Target Fellowships\, and a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. In 2007\, the Studio was the winner of the Museum of Modern Art’s Young Architects Program Competition. Recently\, their work became part of the collection of the MoMA. The partners have taught in the graduate architecture programs at SCI-Arc; the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, and the University of Southern California. Their work has appeared in a variety of publications worldwide including the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Guardian\, Architectural Record\, Artforum\, Icon\, Log\, Architectural Digest\, and Sculpture. \n\nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, AIA\, PhD\, Principal of Stephen Phillips Architects (SPARCHS) and professor\, director\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo) \nFree Parking is available at the corner of Helms Ave. and Venice Blvd. \nPhotos (Left to Right): Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues\, Installation at San Diego International Airport by Ball-Nogues Studio\, Healing Pavillion in Los Angeles by Ball-Nogues Studio. \n\nUpcoming Schedule\nMay 23rd Sylvia Lavin (rescheduled)\nJune 4th Lucia Allais (Princeton) \n  \n
