Curator-Led Tour of “El Dorado: Myths of Gold” at the Americas Society

November 15, 2023 | 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Pt I: El Dorado: Myths of Gold, exploring the legend of El Dorado as a foundational myth of the Americas. Artists in the show include Olga de Amaral, Denilson Baniwa, Bruno Baptistelli, Andrés Bedoya, Wendy Cabrera Rubio, Leda Catunda, Chiriquí artist, Coclé artists, william cordova, Juan Covelli, Covens & Mortier, Harmonia Rosales, Tiago Sant’Ana, Julia Santos Solomon, Moara Tupinambá, Laura Vinci, and Alberta Whittle.

During the colonization of the Americas, colonial fantasies of an Indigenous kingdom replete with gold and precious stones quickly permeated the European imagination, galvanizing the invasion of the continent and serving as a justification for genocide as well as the destruction of ancestral territories and the environment. As we come to terms with the long-term sociopolitical and environmental effects of this dynamic, there is a pressing need to reevaluate its influence on our identification as human beings and members of a globalized society. By placing historical and contemporary artworks together, the exhibition facilitates dialogues between past and present to investigate how the myth has shaped the value of gold, as well as that of territories, peoples, religious beliefs, and nature.

Thank you to Julia P Herzberg, PhD for coordinating this program.

About the Artist

Shahzia_sikander_Franz_Mayer_Studio_Munich_Photo_Credit_Daniel-Targownik

Born in Lahore, Pakistan, in 1969, Shahzia Sikander took up the traditional practice of miniature painting during Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s military regime, at a time when the medium was deeply unpopular among young artists. Sikander earned a B.F.A. in 1991 from the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore, where she received rigorous training from master miniaturist Bashir Ahmad. She became the first woman to teach in the Miniature Painting Department at NCA, alongside Ahmad, and was the first artist from the department to challenge the medium’s technical and aesthetic framework. Sikander’s breakthrough work, The Scroll, 1989–90, received national critical acclaim in Pakistan, winning the prestigious Shakir Ali Award, the NCA’s highest merit award, and the Haji Sharif award for excellence in miniature painting, subsequently launching the medium into the forefront of NCA’s program, which brought international recognition to this medium within contemporary art practices. The artist moved to the United States to pursue an M.F.A. at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1993 to 1995; from 1995 to 1997, she participated in the CORE Program of the Glassell School of Art at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Guided Tour of Hollyhock House with Abbey Chamberlain Brach

November 30, 2023 | 10:00 am – 11:00 am

This is a bespoke tour for only ten people: don’t miss your chance for this behind-the-scenes tour with Hollyhock House Site Director & Curator Abbey Chamberlain Brach—book your ticket today!

“Now, with a radical client like Miss Barnsdall, a site like Olive Hill, a climate like California, an architect head on for freedom, something had to happen… So this Romanza of California came out on Olive Hill.” —Frank Lloyd Wright: An Autobiography, 1943

Heiress Aline Barnsdall (1882-1946) created a revolutionary life: a feminist, traveler, single mother by design, supporter of experimental Chicago theatre, close friend of Emma Goldman, early patron of The Hollywood Bowl, and champion of revolutionary causes. Barnsdsall commissioned an equally iconic home from Frank Lloyd Wright, intended to be the center of an Olive Hill arts complex. Barnsdall gifted Hollyhock House and Barnsdall Park to the City of Los Angeles in 1927, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.

“Hollyhock House has inspired generations of artists, architects, and designers. It is a harbinger of California Modernism and designed by Wright in response to the region, capturing the drama of Hollywood and embracing building traditions of the American southwest.” —Hollyhock House Education

National | Philadelphia, PA | Artist-Led Tour of Chelsey Luster’s “Finding Home” Philadelphia

October 10, 2023 | 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Join ArtTable for an artist talk and exhibition tour with Chelsey Luster! Luster’s immersive solo exhibition “Finding Home” at Vox Populi Gallery tells the stories of their models’ safe spaces through mixed-media paintings, text, and film. Each model’s individual story informs the creation of these imaginative havens that come together to form a physical safe space. The exhibition acts as a place of healing for black and queer people and the respective communities. Luster highlights their identity and perspective through the luminescence of black skin with fluorescent undertones and the vibrance of queerness through shimmering overlays of glitter. Other materials, such oil and acrylic paints, fabric, glue, market on paper, wood panels, found objects, and canvas, come together to materialize these idyllic realms.

“At the beginning of my practice, I focused on self-portraiture and explored the lack of security and safety as a Queer Black woman through depictions of unsettling bathroom scenes in “The American Bathroom” series. This body of work critiqued our failed incarceration system and the unhinged violence I experienced along with others in my community through large-scale erie-colored oil paintings on wooden panels. I developed creative programming and community building with other Queer, Women, and Black-led organizations and community leaders through talks, fellowships, and residencies that allowed me to collaborate on performances and discussions on Black and Queerness with regards to self-autonomy, community discussions, and collage workshops that welcomed people of all artistic backgrounds to create work that explored identity. Through this work, I shared the universal feeling of wanting to feel safe with individuals of all backgrounds. Through the relationships formed and stories I heard during the creation of “The American Bathroom” series, I knew that our stories could not end with trauma and violence. I discovered that creating a sacred space within myself and others in my community leads to healing, peace, and safety. This inspired my current project “Finding Home.” “

Judy Chicago‘s contributions to feminist art and her exploration of women’s history and culture have left a lasting legacy in the art world, inspiring generations of artists and pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic practices for over sixty years.

Chicago’s work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Throughout her career, Chicago has remained steadfast in her commitment to the power of art as a vehicle for intellectual transformation and social change and to women’s right to engage in the highest level of art production. She has become a symbol for people everywhere, known and respected as an artist, writer, teacher, feminist and humanist whose work and life are models for an enlarged definition of art, an expanded role for the artist, and women’s right to freedom of expression. In 2018 Chicago was named both one of Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” and a 2018 “Most Influential Artist” by Artsy Magazine. In 2019, she received the Visionary Woman award from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

Tour of Candice Lin’s “Lithium Sex Demons In The Factory” with Summer Guthery

October 14, 2023 | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Lithium Sex Demons in the Factory Candice Lin

Canal Projects introduces “Lithium Sex Demons in the Factory,” the inaugural New York solo show for Los Angeles artist Candice Lin. Our tour will be hosted by Artistic Director Summer Guthery. This project, a collaborative effort between Canal Projects and the 14th Gwangju Biennale, involves the recreation of a lithium battery factory as a site-specific installation. This endeavor seamlessly extends the artist’s persistent exploration of themes of globalization, intricate trade networks, the nature of materials, and the dynamics of labor.

Canal Projects is a nonprofit, women-led contemporary art institution dedicated to supporting forward-thinking international artists at pivotal moments in their careers. Through production, exhibition, research and interpretation of this work they foster artistic practices that challenge and reflect the current moment.

Candice Lin has gained recognition for her innovative use of diverse materials: from tea and cactus tinctures to fungi and deceased bats—accentuating their unique characteristics, such as scents and flavors. Lin repurposes presentation techniques commonly linked with anthropology and natural history, investigating their colonial narratives. Her work has been exhibited at Portikus, Frankfurt (2018); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2017); Bétonsalon—Center for Art and Research, Paris (2017); Human Resources, Los Angeles (2017); New Museum, New York (2017); SculptureCenter, Long Island City, New York (2017); Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (2016); and Vincent Price Art Museum, Los Angeles (2013), among others. She is the recipient of several residencies, grants, and fellowships, including a California Community Foundation Award (2014), Fine Arts Work Center Residency (2012), Frankfurter Kunstverein Deutsche Börse Residency (2010), and Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2009).
