Susan Cianciolo‘s new exhibition Though I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not Love, I am nothing ‘Corinthians’ is opening at LA’s 356 S. Mission Rd, opening January 8 and running to March 13.

Cianciolo is a New York-based artist and fashion designer who has collaborated with her grandmother and Chloë Sevigny and mixes together the aesthetics of ‘bespoke’, ‘ready to wear’ with DIY.

Last November the gallery space hosted a conversation screening of Cianciolo’s early films.

As a part of the upcoming show, the artist will be teaming up with Kiva Motnyk on January 9 to put on a quilting workshop taking from the former’s successful noughties cool-girl brand: “Run”. The title of the event is called RUN and they will be making small quilts.

See the 356 S. Mission Rd website for (limited) details.**

Beta Pictures is presenting Maggie Lee‘s new film Mommy with a premiere at Los Angeles’ 356 S. Mission Rd on November 5.

The New York-based, Taiwanese-American artist has been engaged in an expanded form of diaristic documentation since her teenage years – bringing together photography, zines and films making.

Her artistic practice concerns documentation of both the self and ideologies of alternative culture and their overlaps, with Mommy being based on the director’s story of her mother, before and after her unexpected death, and the secret artefacts she discovers in its wake.

See the Facebook event page and Beta Picture’s news page for details.**
