“Deborah Thomas 1951- 2012: REMEMBRANCE EXHIBITION”

Avenue 50 Studio and the Southern California chapter of the Women‘s Caucus for Art (SCWCA) announce the opening of a community exhibition in honor of artist, educator and curator Deborah Thomas who passed away in December 2012. Large, lush abstract paintings from her days as a New York studio artist will hang alongside more current installations, writings and collaborative projects where she delved into photographs and text working with themes of family, found memory, landscape and the envionment.

The exhibition was organized by the SCWCA Eco-Art Collective, a member led-group dedicated to using creativity to address environmental concerns. Deborah was a long time member and recent curator of their “Wilderness Mind: Dissolving Duality” exhibition in San Pedro. She also participated for many years in the Arroyo Arts Collective where she first showed many of the installation and collaborative pieces that are featured in this exhibition. She previously curated the Day of the Dead Planet for Avenue 50 Studio in 2010 as well as the Bringing the Past to Light: New Art from Old Images, Intimate Geography: Getting To Know a Place and Estate of Mind exhibitions. In addition to working as a fine artist and curator, she taught art history and theory, literature and cultural studies in Los Angeles; New York; Geneva, Switzerland; and Philadelphia.

The public is invited to bring a small remembrance in image or word (no larger than 5“ x 5”) when visiting the gallery.

Greg Curtis 9 Photographs
Jun 14 - Jul 7, 2013
show nearby

WEEKEND is pleased to present 9 Photographs, a solo exhibition of large-scale color photographs by Los Angeles based artist, Greg Curtis. In this new body of work, Curtis enlisted commercial cinematographer Adam Michael Becker to create a series of abstract photographs wherein the mechanics of the camera lens itself are the sole object. With the camera pointed at a blank wall in the artist‘s studio, commercial lights were directed into various lenses to produce lens flares, a phenomenon that occurs when non-image forming light enters and refracts within the glass components of the lens before reaching the camera’s film or digital sensor. The resulting images are at once diminutive and expansive: portraits of the camera‘s own machinations presented as vast extraterrestrial events. The works in 9 Photographs are self-reflexive experiments made with equipment and skilled labor from the entertainment industry, isolating and foregrounding what is usually considered at best an aesthetic flourish, and at worst an error on the part of the photographer.

Greg Curtis’ works in photography, video, installation, and sound engage notions of erasure, absence, and alienation embedded within the consumption and dissemination of photographic images. He has exhibited and performed at Elephant, Cirrus Gallery, Land of Tomorrow, Dan Graham, Blythe Projects, Fellows of Contemporary Art and Sea and Space Explorations, among others. His work has been reviewed or featured in Flaunt, art ltd. and Artillery. He received an MFA from California Institute of the Arts.
