Raid Projects is pleased to present New Empire, a group exhibition featuring work by Mark Batongmalaque, Ryan Perez, Conrad Ruiz, Kristofferson San Pablo, Emilio Santoyo and Ashkahn Shahparnia on view from August 13 – 19. 

 Opening reception: August 14th, 6 – 10pm

 Spanning across a broad range of media, from painting to installation, New Empire draws from the idioms of hyped popular culture, to create works that are both visually ecstatic and politically engaged. Eschewing the cliché of teenage rebellion, the assembled works explore the vast indeterminate space of summertime leisure, exploring its iconography, fantasies, and socio-economic formations. Along with themes of listlessness and recklessness, the artists also scrutinize questions of class, masculinity and privilege, key issues that shape the de-centralized sprawl of the Los Angeles area.

 The collected works range from the photo based abstractions of Ryan Perez to Conrad Ruiz’s large scale water color paintings inspired by Hollywood disaster movies and video games, as well as a site specific-sculptural installation by Ashkahn Shahparnia.

 This is the third exhibition from the Boys of Summer, a Los Angeles based collective of artists mining the ongoing currency of media culture.

Current RAID Projects resident Jenene Nagy will be featured in The Rise of Rad exhibition opening at the Torrance Art Museum this Saturday, July 24th.

RAID Projects is pleased to announce  our new current Artist-in-Residence lineup:

Jenene Nagy (USA)

Natalia Lopez (Argentina)

Raid Projects is pleased to present Callis and De Boer’s Original Picture Shop – Auction Extravaganza, featuring over 60 works of art by Ryan Callis and David De Boer. This exhibition will mark the beginning of an ongoing project of showing artworks by friends of Raid Projects in non-curatorial specific shows, playing with the idea of a gallery essentially being a storefront for art. The sales of the work being shown will be done auction style with opening silent bids starting at $20 for original works.  Proceeds from the auction will benefit the Raid Projects exhibition fund and give homes to beautiful orphaned art objects.

Opening reception for the artists on Saturday, May 1st from 7-10pm

Exhibition will be on view from May 1 – June 5.

Raid Projects is pleased to present CACOPHONIC – featuring the artwork of Jon Barwick, Roni Feldman, Elizabeth Ramirez Ferry, Ryan Peter Miller, Grant Vetter and Casey Vogt. This exhibition has traveled to us from Werkstatt Gallerie in Berlin where it was titled “Optimistic American Dischords”. These artists were united as winners of the “MFA Now” competition which was juried by Edward Lucie-Smith, Judy Chicago, Kay Saatchi, John Millei, Murar Reilly, Bernar Venet, Nicolette Kwok and Victoria Lu.

—————————

The six young American artists in this show have formed a group that they have named ‘Cacophonic’. Forming groups is, of course, the traditional way in which young artists band together in order to get a hearing. Think, for example, of the Futurists at the start of the 20th century and of the Surrealists who followed them. Roni Feldman, a member of the group, says that their work is a reaction to a decade that began with planes crashing into the World Trade Center in New York, and ended with an equally resounding economic crash – a period of “complexity and dissonance, marked by a clamorous rise in technology, especially the technology of information, as well as by wars and other forms of disaster.” He and his colleagues engage with a world of conflicting values, in the visual arts as well as in politics, and welcome the uproar that results. “We are wary of didacticism.” He says, “and recognize that a work of art is, first and foremost, a unique sensory experience. The balance between content and physical presence in our work reflects an enduring optimism in the face of the odds that we believe is typical of our generation of American artists.”

This is the last opening in the month of programming that constituted RAIDspace/workPROJECTS. During the opening workspace and RAID Projects will also be releasing a ‘zine catalogue detailing the activities from the past month!

Nice to meet you: Over

April 17 – 22, 2010

Performance 7-9pm

Installation 9-10pm

Nice to Meet You: Over is a performative exchange between two artists intended to be a reification of the spatial distance between workspace and RAID Projects, marked by the contemplation of voyeurism, the notion of virtual space as a meeting site, and the tensions forged by continuously expanding social networks. Each artist will manifest these themes through their implementation of archaic modes of communication such as fax machines, handwritten letters, and typewriters, as they attempt to get to know one another from a distance. While both participants have strong themes of engagement and mediated communication within their respective oeuvres, their identities will remain undisclosed until the opening, in order to maintain the quality of the mediated, first encounter.

Juxtaposing instantaneous and delayed forms of communication, attendees at both spaces will be able to simultaneously witness the encounter in-person, as well as through remote video feeds. Printouts of artists’ communiqués and artifacts from the performance will be on view at both workspace and RAID Projects, through April 22.

About the artists –

About the organizers –

Zemula Barr, Sarah Brin, Melinda Guillen and Jennifer Lieu are co-organizers and sometimes friends. For three consecutive summers, all attended Kamprow, a camp for humorless, conceptually dense children in Falmouth, MA, from 1989-1991.

Outside the Project
April 10 – 15, 2010

Saturday, April 10: 7-10pm

RAID Projects and workspace are joining forces for one month to bring you a single entity: RAIDspace/workPROJECTS. In a series of four one-week exhibitions opening every Saturday in April, four independent curators were invited to organize shows that take place in both spaces at the same time, in an attempt to bridge spatial and temporal gaps present in the narrative of art viewing around Los Angeles.

CANAL curates the work of photographers Sidonie Loiseleux, Nicole C. Russell, Ruby Johnson, Julie Shafer, Lindsay Ljunkull, Siri Kaur, Heather Rasmussen, Zoe Crosher, and Renee C. Martin. Outside the Project is a physical and online exhibition of works that are not part of these artists’ practices. Most of them work in series or within some sort of self-imposed structure. The photographs in this exhibition are taken between these projects, but are to be considered art objects, despite their lack of structure. Within the context of his exhibition, these photographs are likened to one off drawings or artworks other artists make.

CANAL has curated one artwork from each artist to be exhibited at RAID
Projects in a traditional format, however, more works are visible online. To access this element of the show, there will be Internet access and a public computer available at Workspace during the week long exhibition, and on the CANAL website http://canal.tumblr.com

Drugstore Kiosk will exhibit two new organized projects by David Horvitz that will feature 35 international artists. RAID will debut DRUGSTORE BEETLE (Sitodrepa Paniceum). workspace will re-exhibit Kiosk, recently shown at Golden Parachutes in Berlin. Horvitz’s practice can be found somewhere in between (or beyond) the two positions of artist and curator. What he produces are frame-works in which other art-works can exist both independently and as a component within the system. These systems examine exchange, distribution, and reproduction – and can be seen as parallel to interfaces and frame-works of contemporary digital-culture.

The project at workspace, titled Kiosk, is an exhibition of 24 5″x7″ photographic prints by 8 artists. The prints were produced using the photo kiosk of a local drug store. These kiosks become places of reproduction and distribution for this exhibition. The word kiosk historically has meant an object that creates shadows. Later, through its association with vending, it would become associated with machines such as automatic parking ticket dispensers. Coincidentally, it then comes full circle when it is applied to the automatic photo printer as “photo kiosk” – the word re-unites with its original associations with shadows (photography, literally, a box of shadows). All 24 image files are freely available for download on workspace’s site, and via a burned CDR in the gallery-space. The show becomes a “traveling show” through dispersive reproduction. The Kiosk exhibition in Berlin will close almost the exact same moment it opens in Los Angeles, 6,000 miles away. A group of international artists were selected whose practices explore various ideas of travel. Lisa Tan’s photographs were all shot in foreign cities, while Kristina Lee Podesva’s focuses on the global nature of contemporary North American life. A trip to Japan is the source of Lucy Raven’s photographs. For Oraib Toukan a juxtaposition on political art tourism: a man photographing the Apartheid Wall in Palestine, within the frame of her own photograph. A supplementary reader will accompany the exhibition that will include texts chosen by the artists. Included will be John Berger, Joan Didion, Homi K. Bhabha, Werner Herzog, Italo Calvino, George Bataille, among others. This will also be available as a PDF download and via the burned CDRs.

In a reverse direction from Kiosk, instead of distributing into the open, DRUGSTORE BEETLE (Sitodrepa Paniceum), exhibited at RAID, aims to infiltrate into a closed circulatory system: the library. Using the process of the library donation, 30 exhibitions-in-a-box were donated by Horvitz to various art libraries around the world. From Los Angeles to New York to Tehran to Shanghai to Denver. Before these exhibitions were gifted, Horvitz purchased an ISBN and coordinated the meta-data for the exhibition to be uploaded into Worldcat, the database librarians use to input and receive a publication’s information. Since the information will exist in two digital databases, the hope is that this exhibition can slip with ease, like a sly fox, into collections around the world (the title refers to the most notorious of book-worms, burrowing into books and shelves). Though, there is certainly the risk of these being rejected, returned, or lost, giving it a similar fate to the open qualities of Kiosk. You never know what may happen to them. Each exhibition contains the work of 27 artists. All works are loose, and contained in a box like structure called a four-flap, an archival casing librarians use to contain loose prints so that they may be shelved with the books in the collection. What results, when accepted, is an exhibition ready to be checked-out. Or, for non-circulatory collections, an exhibition one may view, with white cloth gloves and a surrounding silence, inside of the library by appointment. RAID will be checking out the exhibition from USC’s Architecture and Fine Art Library. On display will be various types of prints, the archival four-flap container, and other documentation/ephemera that surrounds the project. Some works, such as the paintings by Marley Freeman, Paul Branca, and Graham Anderson, will be unique works (at each library is a similar but different painting). Avalon Kalin and Santos Vasquez’s photographs were made inside other libraries. Jon Pestoni’s kitty litter covered piece references Guy Debord and Asger Jorn’s book from 1959, Mémoires – a book bound in sandpaper that would eventually destroy every book it is shelved next to. Luke Fischbeck of Lucky Dragons presents small musical notation, which is different at each library and would combine to make his idealized complete piece when played all together. Similarly, Daniel Gustav Cramer has put in a different colored paper in each one, which when combined would form a complete rainbow.

A precedent to DRUGSTORE BEETLE (Sitodrepa Paniceum) is Marcel Duchamp’s boîtes-en-valise, miniature replicas of his work bound in a leather box, which he was making duplicates of. Yet, it is not just the similarity between the exhibition in a box – or the duplicates of identical exhibitions in boxes – but Duchamp’s own trickster qualities. When the Second World War broke out across Europe, Duchamp found himself dressed as cheese buyer from Paris, sneaking the boxes through Occupied France to Marseilles, and then to Lisboa, and then across the Atlantic to New York in 1942. As Duchamp’s boxes were disguised as cheese to cross international borders amidst a World War, these come as gifts amidst hard economic times (an economic period in which libraries are most grateful of donations because many face budget cuts). Yet, unlike the story of the Trojan Horse, this gift is not guised as a gift with the sole intention of infiltration. It is given as a true gift – as a sacrifice, and with nothing expected in return. In the case of Marley Freeman (as with everyone’s pieces): all of her paintings are given away, with the potential of them all disappearing as well. That is the sacrifice.

The time and thought and energy put into something, which in a simple gesture, is given all away.

Raid Projects is pleased to present “One Night Stand (a back alley quicky)”. This group show will highlight sexy paintings, hot sculptures and luscious mixed media by artists-in-residence and directors of Raid Projects. The artists featured in this one night only show are Ryan Callis, David Michael De Boer, Ida Kvetny, Ian Larson, Dana Munro, Max Presneill, Neill Orje and Jason Ramos. Please join us Saturday, March 27 from 7-10pm for the opening reception.

Persistence: Your Most Powerful Creative Tool

A presentation and reading from a new publication, Persist: In Praise of the Creative Spirit in a World Gone Mad With Commerce.

Reception: March 6th, 7-9pm.

This session addresses the predicament of creative people of all kinds—artists, writers, actors, musicians, dancers…–in a cultural environment in which success is most often measured in commercial terms, and where it is increasingly difficult for even the most talented to get a hearing.  In this context, we’ll be thinking specifically about the benefits for the artist of a disciplined mind and a commitment to practice—how to acquire and develop these qualities, and how to apply them to creating a life in art that will survive the vicissitudes of an art world dominated by market concerns.

A former art school Dean (Otis Art Institute, Loyola Marymount University) and a widely-published art writer, Peter Clothier brings the perspective of long experience and an empathy for the creative passion.

His new book, Persist: In Praise of the Creative Spirit in a World Gone Mad With Commerce, will be available for $15, cash only.

Reception is on March 6, 7-9pm or later.

The problem of consciouness lies uneasily at the border of science and philosophy.

Conscious experience is at once the most familiar thing in the world and the most mysterious. There is nothing we know about more directly than consciousness, but it is far from clear how to reconcile it with everything else we know.

David J. Chalmers
The Conscious Mind In Search of a Fundamental Theory

Dialogue with art critic Ezrha Jean Black (click on “That’s The Way I See Things” above to see video in full-screen)

“That’s The Way I See Things…” opening January 9, 2010 at Raid Projects and featuring the work of three Los Angeles painters, Aska Iida, Comora Tolliver, and Constance Mallinson and the work of Philadelphia artist Jennifer Levonian. We are very excited about grouping these picture makers together because of what conversations their work will evoke and because of the tremors their work is making from a shared fault line. Iida’s candy colored images of pop figures and Tollivers disco birds create a language of false reality while Mallinson and Levonians work speak of vivid experience and a recombining of the world they occupy.  This forward looking dialogue is the spotlight of some kind of realism through each artists filtration system.

We are also excited to mention Southland Brewing Company will be providing the delicious artfully crafted beverages for your enjoyment.

Hello friends,
for all of you not going to Miami this weekend, Raid Projects has a treat for you to liven up an otherwise quiet and artless weekend in our fair city.  Saturday, December 5th, from 7-10, Raid will be hosting our own (sort of) art fair.

Our show, (if L.A. changed it’s name to Miami, we’d be there) Pink Flamingo Art Fair, will consist of four curated shows, by four Los Angeles galleries, under one roof.
Circus Gallery, Kinkead Contemporary, Five Thirty Three, and Raid Projects will all participate by bringing you choice art.

For the Raid submission to the show we have new work by Mark Dutcher, Angie Lacerenza, Alex Staiger, and a special commissioned Miami themed video projection and by New York based artist Chris Smith.

So dawn your white linen suit and your tropical shirt and come join us for a hot night of art, mojitos, and Caribbean tunes.

See you there.

Short Clip from Chris Smith’s video titled MAMILIA (view this video in full screen by clicking on “Pink Flamingo” in red text above). See more at www.chrisjanikula.com

 

 

 

Raid Projects is very excited to present Los Angeles artists Gustavo Herrera and Spencer Douglas‘ curatorial project, “Burt Lancaster: an evening of painting, drawing, drinks and friends, with a tribute to the American male”, which opens on November 7th from 7-10.

The evening will consist of a fully participatory performance and art making, the ephemera of which will be displayed for the remainder of the exhbition.  We can’t divulge any more information as they want the evening to be a surprise, but rest assured it will be a great time.

 

 

 

Come to the ArtWalk at the Brewery and see the Raid Projects Resident Group Show. This Saturday and Sunday the 24th and 25th of October we show off the fine works of the Raid Projects residents. Including the following artists: Ryan Callis, Dan Callis, Alexandra Crouwers, David De Boer, Max Presneill, Jason Ramos, Alex Staiger and Marika Tsircou. The event will be all day each day.  We get back on to our regular exhibition schedule on November 7th with the opening of a curatorial effort by Los Angeles artists Gustavo Herrera and Spencer Douglas.  More on that soon…….

Comfort Control
Artists: Brian Cooper, Tomo Isoyama, Douglas Fidaleo
Visitors to Comfort Control enter a den-like domestic interior, complete with wood-paneled walls and burnt orange carpet, and sit in a lay-z-boy recliner facing a large-screen TV. Once seated, wrist restraints are put in place, the television issues demands, and only the correct set of emotional responses wins the prize of ‘freedom’.
Addressing issues of emotional expression in relation to social/psychological situations that demand specific responses, this interactive computer game situated within a parodic “entertainment center” environment is created by artists Brian Cooper, Tomo Isoyama, and Douglas Fidaleo.
