RESCHEDULED | MFA Artists Talk: Recent Cadogan Scholarship Awardees

8:30pm ET | 7:30pm CT | 5:30pm PT

This program has been rescheduled to a later date. Stay tuned for updates.

In support of Bay Area MFA candidates, the Northern California Chapter invites you to join us on Thursday, February 25 (8:30pm ET/ 7:30pm CT/ 5:30pm PT) for a visit with recent Cadogan Scholarship Awardees Dominique Birdsong, Amy Elkins, and Claudia Huenchuleo Paquien.

The distinction is part of The Jack K. and Gertrude Murphy Award and the Edwin Anthony and Adalaine Boudreaux Cadogan Scholarships (aka The Murphy Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards). These awards help fuel the forward-thinking visual arts movement that makes the Bay Area unique. Established in 1986, the awards were designed to further the development of the region’s MFA students and to foster exploration of their artistic potential.

The winners receive financial awards and have their work displayed in an exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center. As universities and students have been impacted by COVID-19 this past year, the 2020 exhibition, curated by artist, curator, and educator Kevin B. Chen, made the pivot online so awardees can celebrate safely from their homes. We are pleased to present this Artists Talk by three of the year’s talented awardees.

About the Artists

Dominique Birdsong is a San Francisco-based artist working in a variety of media, from acrylic paint to concrete, plaster, and resin cloth. Her work explores the relationship between death and identity. Reflecting on a personal experience of loss, she states, “The impact that it has on me is extreme, prompting me to question my identity: who I am now and who I was before I lost them.” Birdsong completed her BFA from Humboldt State University. She is currently an MFA candidate at the San Francisco Art Institute.

Amy Elkins works primarily in photography and with a series-based approach that oscillates between formal, conceptual and documentary. She has spent the past fifteen years researching, creating and exhibiting work that explores the multifaceted nature of masculine identity as well as the psychological and sociological impacts of incarceration. Elkins received her BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is currently an MFA candidate in the Art Practice program at Stanford University. She has exhibited and published both nationally and internationally.

Claudia Huenchuleo Paquien is a multimedia artist based in San Francisco. An urban Mapuche descendant, born and raised in Chile, her work reflects on feelings of sadness, nostalgia, and dislocation as collective constructions in attunement to places and territories. Through collage, photography, and installation, her work interrogates the way in which memory, culture, and race function in relation to Indigenous contemporary identities and new systems of knowledge. Huenchuleo Paquien graduated from University of Concepción, Chile, with a degree in psychology. She completed a Post Baccalaureate in Visual Arts at UC Berkeley Extension. She is currently a third year MFA candidate at San Francisco State University.

Thank you to Northern California Chapter Executive Committee members Donna Napper, Co-Chair and Maren Jones, Finance Chair for organizing this program.

About the Speakers

Born in Philadelphia in 1943, Howardena Pindell studied painting at Boston University and Yale University. After graduating, she accepted a job at the Museum of Modern Art, where she worked for 12 years (1967–1979). Her first role was an Exhibition Assistant, then Assistant Curator in the Department of National and International Traveling Exhibitions, and finally Associate Curator and Acting Director in the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books. In 1979, she began teaching at the State University of New York, Stony Brook where she is now a full-time professor. Throughout her career, Pindell has exhibited extensively. Notable solo-exhibitions include: Spelman College (1971, Atlanta), Just Above Midtown (1977, New York), Lerner-Heller Gallery (1980, 1981, New York), The Studio Museum in Harlem (1986, New York), the Wadsworth Atheneum (1989, Hartford), G.R. N’Namdi Gallery (1992, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2002, 2006, Chicago, Detroit, and New York), Garth Greenan Gallery, New York (2014, 2017), Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Atlanta (2015) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2018).

Pindell often employs lengthy, metaphorical processes of destruction/reconstruction. She cuts canvases in strips and sews them back together, building up surfaces in elaborate stages. She paints or draws on sheets of paper, punches out dots from the paper using a hole punch, drops the dots onto her canvas, and squeegees paint through the “stencil” left in the paper from which she had punched the dots. Almost invariably, her paintings are installed unstretched, held to the wall merely by the strength of a few finishing nails. The artist’s fascination with gridded, serialized imagery, along with surface texture appears throughout her oeuvre. Even in her later, more politically charged work, Pindell reverts to these thematic focuses in order to address social issues of homelessness, AIDs, war, genocide, sexism, xenophobia, and apartheid.

Most recently, Pindell’s work appeared in: Black in the Abstract: Part I, Epistrophy (2013, Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston), and Painting 2.0: Expression in the Information Age, (2015–2016, Museum Brandhorst; 2016, Museum Moderner Kunst) and We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965–1985 (2017, the Brooklyn Museum, New York). Howardena Pindell was the subject of the 2018 retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago titled ‘Howardena Pindell: What Remains to Be Seen.’ The exhibition later traveled to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (2018) and the Rose Art Museum (2019).

About Hiba Schahbaz

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Hiba Schahbaz is a Brooklyn-based figurative painter who works primarily with paper, black-tea, and water based pigments. Her subjects, largely drawn from her lifelong practice of self portraiture, inhabit a dreamlike, all-female world. Schahbaz initially trained in Indo-Persian miniature painting at Lahore’s National College of Arts, and later earned a Master’s in Painting from Pratt Institute in New York. Her work addresses issues of personal freedom, destruction, sexuality and censorship by unveiling the beauty, fragility and strength of the female form.

Her solo shows include Dreaming (De Buck Gallery 2020), In Solitude (De Buck Gallery, 2020), The Garden (Spring/Break Art Show, 2018), Hiba Schahbaz: Self-Portraits (Project for Empty Space, 2017), Hanged With Roses (Thierry Goldberg Gallery, 2015), and In Memory (Noire Gallery, 2012). Schahbaz has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including a recent show curated by Jasmine Wahi in Tokyo, “all the women. in me. are tired.”, at THE CLUB, as well as exhibitions at NiU Museum of Art, The Untitled Space, and Center for Book Arts; and has shown at art fairs such as Pulse Art Fair, Untitled Art Fair, Art Fair Cologne, and Vienna Fair.

Publications like Vice, Hyperallergic, The Huffington Post, Coveteur, Vogue, NY Magazine, Art Critical, ArtForum, Bomb Mag, Paper, and others have written about Hiba’s work. Schahbaz has curated painting exhibitions in Pakistan and India, and she was an artist-in-residence at Mass MoCA, The Wassaic Project, Vermont Studio Center, and the Alfred Z. Solomon Residency at the Tang Museum. She teaches miniature painting at the Art Students League in New York, and her work is held in private collections around the world.

Artist Statement

I was influenced by my childhood within a utopian back-to-the land island community, and at a Tibetan dharma center. Raised by an alternative medicine practitioner and in experimental social structures, I was born into countercultural participation. Fundamentally centered on belief structures and systems, my practice mediates space by linking the history of ritual and belief throughout various cultures and time periods, and placing this material in relationship through the approach of “radical subjectivity” in the studio.

About Karen Lofgren

Karen Lofgren is a Los Angeles-based artist working primarily in sculpture and artist books from a feminist and decolonial perspective, and holds an MFA from CalArts. Her research centers on ritual, history, mythology, and the construction of consciousness over time, forming relationships between cultural systems and other wild systems. She was a 2019 Pollock-Krasner grant recipient; receives Canada Council Grant support; and was Fulbright Core Scholar at UAL, Central St. Martins College in 2017/2018.

Solo exhibitions include What is To Cure at Royale Projects Contemporary Art; Trajectory Object c. 2000-2050 with High Desert Test Sites, as well as solo shows at LACE; Pitzer Art Galleries; and Machine Project. Group exhibitions include PRISKA PASQUER; Palm Springs Art Museum; Commonwealth & Council; MASS Gallery; LACMA; Human Resources; Bank of America; Royal College of Art; Nicodim Gallery; and OCAD University. Her projects have also received support from Mike Kelley Foundation; Durfee Foundation; the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; The Ranch Projects; and West of Rome Public Art.

Thank you to Shana Nys Dambrot, ArtTable Southern California Chapter, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation.

About Shelley Spector

Shelley Spector is a multidisciplinary sculptor and project based artist who lives and works in Philadelphia. In her practice she produces distinct bodies of work that utilize the excess of our consumer-based culture. Spector responds to available materials, mostly discarded, in combination with a changeable work environment. She seeks to make work that takes shape as an agent of change – who begin as sculpture rooted in the art world of form and content but that physically move into the world of social issues and can directly respond to its needs. Her most current work in progress is the defining project for a long term body of work entitled, The Nowadays, which uses a small cabin in the mountains of Pennsylvania as a tool and conduit through which she will explore alternatives to resource economy.

Spector’s work is part of many public and private collections including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which presented her solo exhibition “Keep The Home Fires Burning” in 2015, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Woodmere Art Museum, and the West Collection in PA, and Human Rights Campaign Headquarters in Washington, DC. Her ongoing collaborative project, Village, which began at the Philadelphia Museum of Art has traveled to alternative art spaces in Brooklyn, Costa Rica, San Francisco. Chicago and Montréal. Her work has been reviewed in Artforum, Art In America and featured in ARTnews. She has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Independence Foundation Fellowship in the Arts, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and Leeway Foundation. Her residencies include Mildred’s Lane in Beach Lake, PA, and RAIR (Recycled Artists In Residence) and Nextfab Studio in Philadelphia. Spector has been actively engaged in Philadelphia’s art community for years as a respected artist, innovative gallery owner, teacher and champion of emerging talent. Between 1999 and 2010, she founded and directed SPECTOR Gallery/Projects, a program to work outside the traditional gallery system. From 2006 to 2013, she published Artjaw.com, an online multimedia anthology of first person stories from the Philadelphia art community. Spector is faculty in the Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania.

Thank you to Rachel Zimmerman, ArtTable Philadelphia Chapter, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation.
