Alexandra Grant Love Necklace to support Watts House Project
Los Angeles-based artist Alexandra Grant has created a special edition for LA><ART to support Watts House Project (WHP), an ongoing collaborative artwork led by Edgar Arceneaux. WHP is an artist-driven neighborhood redevelopment that is aimed at improving the homes and lives of residents who live across the street from the historic Watts Towers.
Grant has designed the Love Necklace to help raise funds to benefit Watts House Project (WHP). Grant’s work uses language as the basis for images in painting, drawing and sculpture. For WHP, Grant has proposed a sculpture of the word “love” be placed on the roof of a house on 107th Street, literally putting “love on the house.” The singular font and shape of the sculpture is copied in the elegant sterling silver Love Necklace, which embodies both the “hand-made” and the universal aspects of love.
As a benefit for Watts House Project, the Love Necklace is produced by Honor Fraser Gallery, LA><ART, and ForYourArt.
About Watts House Project
Watts House Project (WHP) is an artist-driven urban revitalization project centered around the historic Watts Towers in Watts, California. Directed by Los Angeles artist Edgar Arceneaux, WHP is a large-scale artwork-as-neighborhood-redevelopment engaging art and architecture as a catalyst for expanding and enhancing community.
Generating a physical and social infrastructure for creativity, WHP catalyzes artistic production and community pride of place, establishing partnerships that can lead to real solutions, hope, and change.
For more information visit: www.wattshouseproject.org
Watts House Project is made possible in part by its generous sponsors and partners including Creative Capital, ForYourArt, the Hammer Museum, Master of Public Art Studies Program, University of Southern California, and LA><ART.

Anna Sew Hoy: Me & Cast, Limited Edition
Me & Cast
2008
Digital Print on Watercolor Paper
12 x 16.5 inches
Edition of 10
Sold out
LA><ART is pleased to present a newly commissioned artist edition from Los Angeles based artist Anna Sew Hoy, produced in conjunction with her monumental sculptural installation entitled POW! For this edition Sew Hoy has constructed two oversized casts, one shaped for an ankle and one for a wrist, but each large enough to encompass an entire human body. Employing the materials and techniques commonly used by clinicians who treat broken bones, Sew Hoy’s monuments form a social allegory as they cleverly assert a sculptural presence. These watercolor editions showcase Sew Hoy with one of the large cast sculptures, gesturing her investigation of the psychological ways in which humans relate to objects that surround their bodies.
Anna Sew Hoy is quickly becoming recognized as a leader among a new generation of sculptors. She received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 1998 and her MFA from Hunter College in 2001. The artist has had solo shows at Karyn Lovegrove Gallery (2007) and Peres Projects (2003) in Los Angeles, and at Massimo Audiello Gallery (2002) in New York as well as participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Eden’s Edge: Fifteen LA Artists at the Hammer Museum, LA, One Way or Another: Asian Art Now at the Asia Society, New York, and Japanese American National Museum, Los Angeles, and Cosmic Wonder at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco. Sew Hoy is one of the youngest artists to be awarded the United States Artists Fellowship, which she received in 2006. Anna Sew Hoy was born in Auckland, New Zealand, and she currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
Scoli Acosta: Cornerstone, Limited Edition
2008
Photo lightjet print
11 x 14 inches
Edition of 10
$500
LA><ART is pleased to present a photographic edition by Los Angeles based artist Scoli Acosta, in conjunction with his site-specific installation and public billboard project Bountiful. Acosta’s sprawling installations reflect a personalized language of common objects, found materials, and fractured reiterations of architectural motifs. For this exhibition, the artist has taken as his point of departure the visual trope of the brick grid. This recurring pattern enters into Acosta’s near obsessional system of transforming and appropriating found forms already toiled over by natural processes. His use of these forms as signifiers within this approach marks an attempt to highlight their formal qualities, to pose questions around the intersections of object making, decoration, performance, humor and poetry. This photographic edition captures the initial impetus of Acosta’s project, and aids in the production of the artist’s ambitious endeavor.
Scoli Acosta has studied fine art at the Kansas City Art Institute (1994) and the Ultimate Akademie in Colonge, Germany (1997). Recent solo exhibitions include …Day was to Fall as Night was to Break…, Daniel Reich Gallery, New York (2006) and Big Well, LISTE 2005, Basel, Switzerland. His work has been included in such group exhibitions as the 2007 Montreal Biennial, Montreal, Canada, and the 2006 California Biennial, Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach. Later this year, his work will be included in the upcoming exhibition entitled Phantom Sightings: Art After the Chicano Movement at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and he will have his solo debut in Paris at Galerie Laurent Godin.

Adrià Julià: A Means of Passing the Time (film still), limited edition
Adrià Julià
A Means of Passing the Time (film still)
2007
Photo lightjet print
11 x 14 inches
Edition of 10
$500
In November 2007, LA><ART presented a new site-specific film installation by Los Angeles based artist Adrià Julià. Entitled A Means of Passing the Time, Julià’s film aesthetically documents the “representation of home” and the static depiction, signs and values that help situate oneself geographically and psychosocially. The film was then translated into a site-specific multi-channel installation with a series of performances directed by the artist on a newly crafted stage, executed in the space for Gower and his troupe of actors. A body of photographic images documenting the collaborative work of Julià and Gower as well as the film’s location—Chico, California, further emphasized the exhibition.
Chico—a Northern California non-site—represents a kind of home for former USO performer Mark Gower. In this minute suburban area, Julià animated anecdotes and memories of Gower including a walk, a riot, a local hair salon, the sounds of neighbors yelling, fallen trees, and intimate conversations. In doing so, A Means of Passing the Time explored the fixity of representation, space and time through the intersections of photography, film and performance.
Adrià Julià was born in Barcelona and has lived in Los Angeles since 2001. He has been selected by curator Lauri Firstenberg to be included in the Lyon Biennale (2007). Forthcoming solo exhibitions include LA><ART (Los Angeles) and the Generali Foundation (Vienna, Austria). In 2000, he was selected to participate in the exhibition Muestra de Arte Joven, INJUVE and in 2002 received the Alatadis Prize. Julià has also exhibited at Anne de Villepoix Gallery (Paris) as well as Soledad Lorenzo Gallery (Madrid). Recent solo exhibitions include Truc Trang Walls, The Room Gallery. University of California, Irvine (Irvine), La Villa Basque, Vernon, California, Artists Space (Nova York), OCMA - Orange County Museum of Art – (Newport Beach, California), Sala Rekalde (Bilbao), and Espai Zero1 (Olot), Continental Agur, Galería Soledad Lorenzo (Madrid) and Anatomies for a Common House, Palau de la Virreina (Barcelona). He has also participated in group exhibits such as Nothing Stands Still, New Langton Arts (San Francisco), Artist’s Archives, The Backroom (Los Angeles and San Francisco), Mirador ‘06. O.K. Centrum für Gegenwartkunst (Linz, Austria), Surrounding Matta-Clark, Carlos Carvalho Arte Contemporanea (Lisboa), The Gardenlab, Pasadena Art Center College of Design Wind Tunnel (Pasadena), Screenspirit, Städtische Galerie im Buntentor Bremen (Bremen, Germany), We’ve Moved, Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena), Monocanal, MNCARS - Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia - (Madrid), Centre d’Arts Sta.

Michael Rashkow: Untitled, limited edition
Michael Rashkow
Untitled
2007
Dye based ink on paper and India ink on paper
13 x 19 inches
Unique edition of 10
$500
Michael Rashkow’s series of editions for LA><ART represents maps of ink that deny articulation of a particular subject. Prior to becoming an artist, Rashkow studied cognitive science, psychology, and computer science. His interest in photography and sculpture focuses on experiments in the disruption of a concretized subject and the examination of the perception of the art object. The artist samples images and objects that are familiar, yet transformed to question interpretation and meaning.
His edition for LA><ART represents the output of a broken printer. After discovering that the printer had a limited range of visual capabilities, Rashkow began experimenting with its logic system. He developed ways to use the inks native to the printer vis-a-vis an ongoing collaboration with the dysfunctional machine. Interested in the abstract gestural and constructivist chance compositions generated from this exercise, he continues to push his engagement with this banal device.
Michael Rashkow graduated from UCLA with an MFA in 2004 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He has exhibited at Wallspace, New York, Ritter/Zamet, London, Hayworth Gallery, Los Angeles, White Box, New York, Riva, New York, HIgh Desert Test Site, Joshua Tree. Forthcoming exhibitions include LA><ART, Los Angeles and Festival, Beijing.

LA><ART is pleased to present ten unique watercolor editions by Los Angeles based artist Yunhee Min. Through her studies of color and form, Min creates large-scale field paintings and installations that generate a dialogue with the architectural space in which the works inhabit. Her site-specific installations create subtle shifts in environments and challenge the place of art in both spatial and temporal terms. For the artist’s exhibition at LA><ART, Min will continue to engage these issues and concerns by producing an installation comprised of an array of color-bars that will penetrate the space of the gallery.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, Yunhee Min currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She received her BFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena in 1991 and her MFA from the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1993. Notable solo exhibitions include Yunhee Min: Above and Beyond (x,y,z) at the Pasadena Museum of California Art (2006), Cerca Series: Yunhee Min at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (2005) and Corrugate at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco (2003).

Silkscreen on goat skin leather
17 x 24 inches
Edition of 5
$1500
LA><ART is pleased to present a new sculptural edition entitled Icon Studies by New York based artist Michelle Lopez, in conjunction with her solo exhibition entitled Death Star. Michelle Lopez creates mixed media, hybrid objects that examine the intersection of consumer culture and human desire. For Icon Studies, Lopez has silkscreened the profile of a Japanese animé wig directly onto untreated goatskin leather. In Icon Studies, Lopez poetically articulates the tensions that occur at the intersection of the natural and the synthetic, furthering her investigation of feminism, branding, material decay, and sculpture’s formal properties.
Lopez currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY and San Francisco, CA. She received her MFA in Painting and Sculpture from the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY in 1994. Lopez’s solo exhibitions include Piece at the Gallery Paule Anglim in San Francisco, CA (2005), Adventures in the Skin Trade at Deitch Projects in New York (2001), and The Untitled Thumb and Drape Project at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions in Los Angeles, CA (1999). Michelle Lopez is a faculty member in the Department of Sculpture at School of Visual Arts, New York.

Joel Tauber: Laying With The Tree, Limited Edition
Joel Tauber
Laying With The Tree
2006
Photo lightjet print
Edition of 25
$250
Los Angeles based artist Joel Tauber has adopted a lonely and forlorn sycamore tree stuck in the middle of the parking lot of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Califonia. The artist has produced a public intervention, gallery installation and film based on this tree – a powerful symbol that speaks to the urban disconnection from natural environment. In the artist’s words, “The frontier has given way to the concrete jungle.” This limited edition photograph is a document of this multifaceted project.
Tauber received his MFA from Art Center College of Design in 2002. He currently teaches video art the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, where he lives and works. His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects and Galerie Adamski in Aachen, Germany. He was included in the 2004 California Biennial at the Orange County Museum of Art and in the exhibition The Gravity in Art at the De Appel Centre for Contemporary Art in Amsterdam. In recent months, Tauber’s practice has been covered by National Public Radio, NBC local news, Swedish Television, the Pasadena Star News, and the Los Angeles Times.

Sold Out
LA><ART is pleased to present a photographic edition by New York based artist Michael Queenland. Queenland, who received his MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2002, has since exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad in solo and group exhibitions. In September 2007, he produced a site-specific installation at LA><ART entitled THE MORL or NYC-Apartment that restages and examines the logic of museological display and the phenomena of kitsch by transforming the space of the gallery into that of a conceptual Wunderkammer. This edition, made available through LA><ART, helps to support the production of this ambitious intervention.
This untitled photograph is a document of the two live cats that inhabited the installation and gallery space throughout the course of the artist’s Bread & Balloons, a solo exhibition at Harris Lieberman gallery in New York in 2007. The theatrical and performative presence of the cats in the exhibition space extended Queenland’s interrogations of sculptural fixity and the limitations of medium-specific modes of signification.
Queenland is currently represented by Harris Lieberman gallery in New York and Daniel Hug Gallery in Los Angeles. In 2005, the exhibition Michael Queenland: Photographs, Sculptures, and Shaker Classics traveled to both the Institute of Contemporary Art at the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine and the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2006, he was named a United States Artists Fellow. From 2004 to 2005, he served as a resident artist at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Recent exhibitions include Civil Restitutions at Thomas Dane Gallery in London, Trace at the Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria in New York, and Frequency at the Studio Museum in Harlem.

Produced in conjunction with Vincent Johnson’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles, entitled “Civil Air Defense Project #1,” Johnson’s limited edition photograph extends the artist’s interest in the vernacular architecture that is particular to the landscape of Southern California, as a site for formal experimentation and social and political investigation.
Vincent Johnson’s photographic work has been exhibited in venues such as P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in Queens, New York, SK Stiftung in Cologne, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Adamski Gallery of Contemporary Art in Aachen, Germany. Recently, Johnson participated in a collaborative project at the Studio Museum in Harlem entitled The Philosophy of Time Travel. He received his MFA from Art Center College of Design in 1997.

$750
Courtesy of the artist, LA><ART and Cirrus
Comprised of a public intervention on a freeway wall, billboard project, and gallery exhibition, Extracted takes simulation and site specificity as its point of departure. Ochoa is critical of the social divide of the city, and his work is particularly geared toward the investigation of geography and gentrification in Los Angeles, specifically by investigating the form of the freeway wall. This edition was produced in conjunction with his exhibition at LA><ART in September 2006.
Ruben Ochoa currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his MFA from the University of California, Irvine in 2001. He has exhibited at the Roy and Edna Disney Calarts Theatre in Los Angeles, Greyscale in San Diego, the Orange County Museum of Art’s California Biennial, the Project in Los Angeles, and Harris Lieberman gallery in New York. He has received awards from Creative Capital, the Rockefeller Foundation, Durfee Foundation and the California Community Foundation. In September 2007, he will have a solo exhibition at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects.

Edgar Arceneaux: 1968, limited edition
Softground aquatint etching with roulette
Paper size 36″ x 44″
Edition of 30
Published by Paulson Press
Sold Out
In 1968, Arceneaux combines the infamous image of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. with a faint drawing of the USS Enterprise from the popular television show Star Trek. On April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, King’s acquaintances exited their motel room to find the assassinated body of King. The appearance of the enterprise in this re-representation humorously alludes to the disparate and sometimes conflicting accounts of King’s death. Furthermore, the pairing has a leveling effect – as if the coexistence is somehow natural, as detached signifiers of popular culture sutured by the date, 1968. The juxtaposition generates a proliferating set of possible causalities in the ingrained narrative structure of science fiction and political history.
Edgar Arceneaux currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his MFA from the California Institute for the Arts in Valencia, California in 2001. His work has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions in the United States and abroad. Notable solo exhibitions include “Drawings of Removal” at the UCLA Hammer Museum in 2003, and the collaborative project with Charles Gaines entitled “Snake River” at the Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theatre in 2006.
