Woody De Othello | Solo Exhibition | San José Museum of Art
Oakland-based artist Woody De Othello creates anthropomorphized household objects in ceramic. Belying their cheery and colorful veneers is a darkly comedic sense of exhaustion. For his project at the SJMA—the artist’s first solo museum presentation—Othello is creating a new body of work based around his Defeated, depleted (2018), a sculpture recently acquired by San José Museum of Art.
From November 1, 2019 – April 5, 2020

Performance | Ligia Lewis – Sorrow Swag | Friday, August 23 at 7pm
Please join us on Friday, August 23 at 7pm to close out our summer exhibition, “The Empathy Lab,” with a performance from Ligia Lewis.
Sorrow Swag takes place in an immersive visual and auditory space. Using texts and images derived from mid 20th-century classical theater to interrogate race, authorship, gender, and grief, Sorrow Swag produces an imaginative reformulation. Thinking through the blues, this work disrupts the canonical by means of a radical bothering. With a musical score by Twin Shadow, Lewis creates a meticulously crafted hybrid body in a state of flux. While Samuel Beckett’s “Not I” and Jean Anouilh’s “Antigone” serve as the backbone to this work, the piece shifts from a state of flux to an “unrelenting scream,” —what Billie Whitelaw, the first literal mouth of “Not I” described as the core of her performance. Through this unstable figure, the theater is transformed.
Ligia Lewis was awarded the Prix Jardin d’ Europe by Impulstanz (2015) for Sorrow Swag.
Concept & Choreography: Ligia Lewis
with Musical Arrangement: Twin Shadow
Production & Distribution: HAU Hebbel am Ufer / Nicole Schuchardt
Sorrow Swag is a production by Ligia Lewis | Funded by Berlin Senate Department for Culture and EuropeWith support from Human Resources Los Angeles, ADA Studio Berlin and Pieter Space (Los Angeles).

Judy Chicago | First major UK survey | BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art
BALTIC presents the first major UK survey of pioneering feminist artist, author and educator Judy Chicago.
The exhibition spans Chicago’s fifty-year career, from her early actions in the desert in the 1970s, to her most recent series, The End: A Meditation on Death and Extinction (2013–16), which has not been previously shown outside of the US.
Judy Chicago explores the artist’s work from the perspective of the human condition, connecting birth and death with the emotional journeys experienced by the artist whilst highlighting Chicago’s ongoing concern with the devastating effects of climate change on the natural world.
The Birth Project (1980–85) is presented in dialogue with The End, linking the two extremes of being – birth and death. Alongside this, the detailed series of drawings and watercolours constituting Autobiography of a Year (1993–94) and My Accident (1986) offer a glimpse into the emotions the artist experienced over the course of one year and the impact of an accident in her life.
The exhibition also includes a selection of photographs from Chicago’s iconic Atmosphere series (1967–2017), which proposes a feminist approach to Land Art. A triptych of photographs from A Purple Poem for Miami (2019) will be seen for the first time in a commission for BALTIC’s entrance area lightbox.
The exhibition runs from November 16, 2019 – April 19, 2020.

Martha Friedman’s Two Person Operating System (2018) is a sculpture that looks like an old telephone switchboard. It will be activated on Saturday with a dance performance conceived by Friedman and choreographed by Susan Marshall & Company. In Marshall’s choreography, the three dancers navigate the sculpture’s dangerously sharp elements with careful attention to precision, speed, and force, further implicating the viewer to think about the sensory experience of inhabiting a body and touching or navigating bodies outside their own.
Performances on Saturday, July 13th at 11am-12pm, 1-2pm, 3-4pm, 5-6pm

Pozanti and Welcher will be joined, as part of their extended presentation, by Sandy Curth from UC Berkeley’s Emerging Objects Lab, with whom the pair worked to develop a terracotta glyph (pictured above).

John Houck | UCLA Architecture and Urban Design Lecture Series | May 13 at 6:30pm
UCLA’s Architecture and Urban Design Department will host a lecture by John Houck on Monday, May 13 at 6:30 PM.
John Houck has shown extensively in the United States and abroad. His works are in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art, SFMOMA San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and MoMA The Museum of Modern Art. Houck has an MFA in Fine Arts from UCLA and a BA in Architecture from Colorado University. He also completed the Whitney Independent Study Program and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture residency. His work was recently featured in Made in L.A. 2018, the Hammer Museum biennial. He is preparing for solo exhibitions at Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York (October 2018) and at Jessica Silverman Gallery, San Francisco (September 2020).
Los Angeles-based artist John Houck makes his images through a systematic re-photographing that produces a complex set of relationships between figure and ground and defies a clear understanding of the real and created. In this process, the artist takes a set of objects—often with personal meaning—and captures them multiple times. With each iteration, the objects are re-positioned atop of their own images. The resultant work is a kind of photograph of itself, seen through a multitude of perspectives. The unfixed nature of Houck’s compositions is further complicated by the artist’s introduction of painterly mark-making, which he incorporates in both the objects being photographed and the photographs themselves. These actions transform the photograph into a screen through which the composition is gradually developed, examined, and remade.

The series explores the needs, expectations and possibilities of the space for art today and speakers include artists, architects, curators and others. The title is borrowed from the sub-title of a text by Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg (1943 – 2005), ‘The Art Museum of My Dreams’, written in 1986, translated into English in 2013 and now out of print. Wermers spoke about her recent work and her comprehensive solo show, ‘Women Between Buildings’, which took place at Kunstverein in Hamburg in 2018.

Curated by CCA’s Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice Class of 2019, To Know Herself explores the lesbian bar as a place for social and political change. Bars dedicated exclusively to queer women are systematically disappearing around the country,particularly in San Francisco. To Know Herself utilizes the bar in CCA Wattis Institute’s event space in lieu of the conventional gallery in order to study the ways these artists explore the impact and value of lesbian bars and the effects of their disappearance, as well as possibilities for their eventual reconstruction.
The exhibition features works by Tammy Rae Carland and Macon Reed.
Exhibition opening is Thursday April 4 from 6:30-8:30pm. For more information, visit here.

Isaac Julien | The Leopard (Western Union: Small Boats) | Block Museum of Art
Isaac Julien’s groundbreaking 2007 video installation The Leopard (Western Union: Small Boats) presents a lyrical and visceral meditation on histories of African migration. Combining exquisite cinematography with elements of documentary, dance and musical performance, The Leopard juxtaposes all-too-familiar images of Mediterranean passage–Black bodies crowded in rafts, laid out in reflective blankets on Italian shores, drowning in tempestuous waters–with the tranquil spaces of European tourism and luxury. Presented in conjunction with the Block’s Caravans of Gold, Fragments in Time exhibit, The Leopard (Western Union: Small Boats) challenges viewers to contemplate the inequities of globalization and the cycles of displacement and violence that have bound Europe and Africa for centuries.
