Courtesy of the artist.\n\n\n\nJoin ArtTable for an exclusive tour of The Brick in its new home in East Hollywood! With Catherine Taft\, Deputy Director and Curator of The Brick (formerly LAXART)\, we will explore Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism\, one of over 70 exhibitions and programs supported by The Getty as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide. This inagural exhibition at The Brick\, where a pivotal institution in Los Angeles’ art scene embarks on its next chapter\, explores the interwoven histories of feminst and environmental thought and platforms a wide array of contemporary artists expanding the boundaries of these fields in the 21st century. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism\, on view through December 21\, 2024\, is inspired by four decades of ecofeminist thought and action in art. Ecofeminism is a theoretical and activist movement that locates critical connections between gender oppression and the exploitation of natural resources. In the U.S.\, it developed from the environmental\, anti-nuclear\, and feminist movements in the late 1970s and 1980s; in addition to their primary concerns around the subordination of nature and women\, ecofeminists sought to resist racism\, homophobia\, and the capitalist patriarchy. As quickly as the movement was developed\, artists began adopting an ecofeminist position\, producing ambitious\, often site-specific work that addressed the systemic subjection of women and the environment. \n\n\n\nLife on Earth uses ecofeminism as a both a lens and departure point\, bringing together eighteen international artists and collectives who present new methodologies for thinking-with our natural environment in the twenty-first century. These artists challenge anthropocentric notions around both gender and ecology to call for new positions that embrace communality\, intersectionality\, mythmaking\, joy\, and reparative action. Installations\, mixed-media sculptures\, video and performance art address themes including social ecologies\, the commons\, indigenous cosmologies\, deep time\, witchcraft\, hydrofeminism\, plant knowledge\, science fiction\, and speculative futures\, among other threads. Participating artists include Alliance of the Southern Triangle (A.S.T.)\, Alicia Barney Caldas\, Meech Boakye\, Carolina Caycedo\, Francesca Gabbiani\, Masumi Hayashi\, Institute of Queer Ecology\, Kite\, Leslie Labowitz Starus\, Maria Maea\, Otobong Nkanga\, yétúndé olagbaju\, Alicia Piller\, Aviva Rahmani\, Tabita Rezaire\, Yo-E Ryou\, Emilija Škarnulytė\, and A.L. Steiner.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout The Brick: The Brick is a nonprofit visual art space that promotes developments in contemporary culture through exhibitions\, publications\, and public programs. It was founded as LAXART by art historian and curator Lauri Firstenberg in 2005\, LAXART was created as a platform for emerging and under-recognized talent in Los Angeles. Evolving under the directorship of Hamza Walker\, who took the helm of the organization in 2016\, The Brick has expanded its mission to encompass thematic exhibitions that engage with a range of local and international artists at every stage of their careers. Through a range of free\, accessible offerings\, The Brick contextualizes contemporary art both socially and discursively. \n\n\n\nParking: The Brick recommends parking on Western Ave (metered)\, or on the side streets adjacent to The Brick. \n\n\n\nProgram Registration: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Member – $15\n\n\n\nFriend of Member – $20\n\n\n\nNon-Member – $25\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNot a member?
