"Like After Like": Life After Life In Progress: June 19-Aug 14
Life After Life, the creative duo comprised of artists Paige K. Johnston and Karthik Pandian (AIR '16), develops an exhibition that provides several eclectic windows into the many projects in which they are currently amidst. Self-reflexively investigating the nature of their own collaboration, Like After Like presents a perspective on creativity that is multivalent, and that straddles and dismisses the generic boundaries often used to categorize art. From a film on Rudyard Kipling, to an autobiographical video modeled after the aesthetics of perfume commercials, and including oil paintings depicting skin tones alongside a self-curated display of Bay-Area produced ceramics, Like After Like confronts the myth of an "artistic life" by directly revealing the real, day-to-day steps required to produce work, all the while enacting other imaginary fields for visitors to engage in.
"Golden Green or Greening Gold": Fritzia Irizar In Progress: July 10-Aug 14
By focusing on the relationship between gold mining and bird populations, Mexico City-based artist Fritzia Irizar's (AIR '16) work throws into relief the long-term and disastrous effects of the global mining industry. By literally re-shaping and poisoning the environment, gold mining has devastated, killed, and enacted a forced migration of massive numbers of bird species. While Irizar works in Project Space, visitors are asked to interact with her installation by plucking it into oblivion, and can also leave an imitation bird call on a recording.
