Patricia Sweetow Gallery is thrilled to present Demetri Broxton: Ancestral Echoes.
“My new body of work centers upon ancestors whose names and stories I don’t fully know. Most of them are soldiers who served in WWI. They fought to support a country that would continue to deny them full citizenship and equal rights.” -– Demetri Broxton

“Through my use of found materials, I explore themes such as consumerism, environmental and cultural sustainability, identity and heritage, socio-economic issues in Ghana, ocean pollution, migration, memory, transformation, and reclamation.”

- Patrick Tagoe - Turkson

Artist and TALA member Barbara Belle Sloan is having an exhibit of her recent woodblock prints, off-loom weavings, and textile collages.

signifying the impossible song explores the material culture of objects and the protected knowledges they hold. Encompassing mixed-media artworks, found objects, assemblage, photography, sculpture and painting, the exhibition points to the collective unravelling and structural failings of political systems. There are multiple forces in effect – integration and disintegration, defiance and displacement – the cyclical rhythm suggesting the human project as an ongoing process of fabrication and refabrication.

Join us for an extraordinary texture, color, and creativity exploration at our unique exhibition focusing on art made from textiles, yarns, and various fibers – a celebration of the tactile and visually captivating world of textile art!

Marc Selwyn Fine Art is pleased to present Cosmic Fabric, an exhibition of new work by Los Angeles based artist Channing Hansen.  

Hansen’s artistic process is fundamentally based on his materials, as he immerses himself in the complex journey of how raw fleece becomes knitted yarn.

Hansen derives his knitted patterns from complex digital algorithms which draw on systems and phenomena found in nature and the cosmos. These algorithms allow Hansen to achieve “purposeful randomness,” as the computer generates and determines pattern, color, and dimension. 

Shoshana Wayne Gallery is pleased to present Dinh Q. Lê: Survey 1998-2023.  This is the artist’s eighth solo exhibition with the gallery, and the gallery’s first posthumous showing of Lê’s work. Survey 1998-2023 serves as a memorial exhibition celebrating Dinh’s life and legacy.

Nazarian / Curcio is pleased to announce Material Matters, a group exhibition featuring works by Jamal Cyrus, Vaughn Davis Jr., Aryana Minai, Fay Ray, and Tori Wrånes. Employing a wide range of media, including denim, metal, stone, silicon, paper-pulp, and shredded canvas, each artist’s respective material is coded with specific meaning and utilizes the language of abstraction to create nuanced and provocative narratives that speak to lived experience. 

“All of the materials for this body of work were intercepted as an alternative to landfill - the base fabrics, fabric swatch samples, discarded face masks (which I retrieved and sterilized), old clothing even the thread is “expired” and was headed for the trash.

I am intrigued by the purpose and beauty that can be found in things that were discarded. In the nuance of the spaces between usefulness and waste.” - Liberty Worth

The Bridge Arts Foundation proudly announces the third edition of its Open Call Exhibition Program, which is designed to provide support for emerging artists. In its 3rd edition, the Soliloquy Open Call Exhibition features 19 talented artists.

Roberts Projects is pleased to present Bíikkua (The Hide Scraper), an exhibition of Wendy Red Star’s ongoing series exploring the social and material history of bishkisché. This Apsáalooke term is used to describe heirloom rawhide cases fabricated and decorated by the women of indigenous tribes throughout North America, translating to “backpack for dogs to carry meat or grain.” Historically referred to as parfleche—a French phrase introduced during the colonial fur trade—in Western European scholarship, Red Star intends to use this series to restore the creative lineage and language of her Apsáalooke ancestry.

Traditional fiber techniques are expanded upon in this exhibit to reveal and embrace the borderlands, queer bodies, and the tensions between structure and aberration.

Charlie James Gallery is pleased to present Patrisse Cullors: Between the Warp and Weft: Weaving Shields of Strength and Spirituality, the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery opening June 15th at CJG in Los Angeles. A deep and resonant exploration of Yoruba culture and the Ifá religion of which Cullors is a practitioner, the exhibition is inspired by Oya, the fierce Orisha (or deity) of transformation and Cullors’ own spiritual guardian.

The inaugural exhibition of Share-A-Wall, titled PUSH AND PULL, showcases three visual artists who share commonalities and differences in their practices. These artists—Elana Kundell, Janet Neuwalder, and Carol Shaw-Sutton—have supported each other's work throughout the years and have developed an ongoing conversation.

The Studio System Experimental Residency project is a unique attempt to bridge the gap between artistic practice and the public. First held in 2015, Studio System seeks to bring the dynamism of the artist's studio into the museum space, encouraging audiences to not only see works as they are in progress but to interact with the artist to discuss inspirations, sources, thoughts, feelings, content and context, as well as chart the progression of the works over the month long period that the project encompasses.

Highway Hypnosis, at Craft Contemporary, presents the work of Adrian Alfaro, Aaron Douglas Estrada, Alfredo D. Diaz, Alexa Ramírez Posada, Oscar Magallanes, and Rubén Ortiz-Torres– all members of the Los Angeles-based 3B Collective. This exhibition will feature a vast range of multi-media works including murals, assemblages, textiles, ceramics, printmaking, mask installations, and more.

Art Share L.A. is showcasing artists from our Ellsworth Artist Residency Program’s 3rd, 4th, and 5th cohorts in our perimeter gallery. The Ellsworth Artist Residency program is dedicated to creating an accessible studio space for artists and is a dynamic opportunity for emerging artists to work and develop their visual art practice.

LAUNCH Gallery is proud to present Los Angeles based artist Michelle Robinson.No Place considers the vulnerability of memories to change over time, using digital interventions that are reinterpreted with paint and fiber arts. Images of home become tender remnants that can never be fully resolved.

Rele Los Angeles is pleased to announce Woven Sanctuaries, a group exhibition bringing together the work of seven female artists from Botswana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zambia, which together document complex personal and social landscapes that textiles make possible. Utilizing found materials as well as symbolically-laden fabrics such as cloth and jute, these artists collapse conventions of space and time in order to explore grief, loss, joy, wonder, personal agency and coming of age.

With the exhibition, “Yes, KAWAII is Art -EXPRESS YOURSELF-,” JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles is excited to partner with artist Sebastian Masuda to share an in-depth look at the origins of the colorful kawaii style, its development and its profound cultural significance, transcending its perception as a fashion look or trend.

Minga Opazo’s debut presentation at Sargent’s Daughters Gallery includes a range of sculptural works that reflect her environmentally-oriented, sustainable practice. The wall-mounted weavings and free-standing sculptures all reconceptualize the growing problem of textile waste, which accounts for 15% of plastic waste and 10% of CO2 emissions globally, through a combination of traditional craft practices and the emergent field of BioArt.
