This Psychodrama @ SME Gallery, Sep 30 – Oct 21

30 September 2016

news

The This Psychodrama group exhibition is on at San Diego’s SME Gallery, opening September 30 and running to October 21.

Curated by SPF15 founder and director Morgan Mandalay, the show features the works of five artists in what the press release describes as one embracing “an exorcism of questions over possession of answers to questions taking center stage at a kind of mind-matter dualism.” In it, the role of the body is that of stage, set, prop and supporting actor, where “writer and the player meld into one.”

The show runs at the art gallery of UCSD Department of Visual Arts and features artists Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen, Tomás Diaz Cedeño, Corey Dunlap, Jessica Frelund, and Ellen Schafer.

LA’s Embassy will present Together/ Alone, opening with a performance by Jennifer Moon on January 14 and running to January 21.

Embassy is an artist-run space taking occupancy within the former Cambodian Embassy located in Los Angeles’s Chinatown. It’s organisers are: Ana Breininger, Chanel Von Habsburg-Lothringen, and Sarah Manuwal.

Together/ Alone is a large group show focussing on the artist book as “a record keeping device”, as something that offers a “rooted connection” to all that is material and kinetic, and as something that may resist channels of usual art production and consumption – if it wants to. An artist book is its own entity.

Artists in this show include: Petra Cortright, Saewon Oh, A.L Steiner, Jonathan Campolo, and many more.

A closing reception will take place on January 21.
