KRISTINE SCHOMAKER: Catch her An Open studio event @ the Brewery Artist Lofts Sunday July 19th 3-5pm/ Look like fun

An afternoon at Studio 3   An Open studio event @ the Brewery Artist Lofts Sunday July 19th 3-5pm Studio 3 at the Brewery Artist Lofts 660 South Avenue 21 #3 Los Angeles Ca 90031 Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/123054788029928/ KRISTINE SCHOMAKER is a new media and performance artist, painter and art historian living and working at the Brewery artist complex in Los Angeles California. She received her BA in Art History and her MA in Studio Art from California State University at Northridge. Kristine works with various interdisciplinary art forms including online virtual worlds to explore notions of online identity and the hybridization of digital media with the physical world. Whether physical or virtual, the object-based work Kristine creates combines elements of color-based gestural abstraction, animation, pattern and design, neo-Baroque and Populence. Using installation, text, photography, mixed media, video and performance for her ongoing conceptual project My Life as an Avatar, she visualizes a narrative/dialogue with her virtual persona, Gracie Kendal. In early 2012, Kristine turned an art gallery into a re-creation of Gertrude Stein’s salon and held a mixed reality performance/dinner party at the opening. Over the summer she also performed “The Bald and the Beautiful” in which she had her head shaved as a statement to challenge society’s standards of beauty. “A comfortable Skin,” Kristine’s latest work is an ongoing multimedia project that documents how she uses virtual and physical avatars to bring more attention to the obsession society has with physical appearance. She has an active life in the arts, previously teaching art history at Antelope Valley College and Pasadena City College, forming an artist collective in Los Angeles and organizing and curating numerous art exhibitions. A member of the Los Angeles Art Association, Southern California Women's Caucus for Art, College Art Association and Siggraph, Kristine believes in supporting artists by building communities of like-minded people who have plans, can share resources and bring ideas to fruition. Kristine is currently the social media coordinator of the Los Angeles Art Association and PR rep, social media and advertising manager of the Brewery Artwalk Association.

Train Hopping: Looks like art is a changing, this one is fun

Chandran Gallery Presents
NBD
Solo Exhibition and Book Release by Swampy

Enigmatic Artist Resurfaces With Images Documenting A Year Train Hopping Across the Continent
on the North American Criminal Roller Coaster

(l) Safe In My Cave  and (r)  Aguascalientes, 2015
Chromogenic color print, edition of 10, 30 x 30 in.
 

Exhibition Dates: July 25 - Aug 08, 2015
Opening Reception: Sat, July 25, 2015 - 7-10pm
 

SAN FRANCISCO — July 16, 2015 — Chandran Gallery is pleased to present NBD, a solo exhibition and book release by Oakland-based artist, Swampy. The exhibition is comprised of select images from the book presented in large-scale, 30”x30”, c-prints, each in an edition of 10. A screening of  Swampy’s video diary on his summer travels will be shown at the opening reception. The exhibition is on view July 25 to August 08, 2015 with an opening reception on Saturday, July 25 from 7 - 10pm.  The artist will be in attendance.
 

NBD is a collection of photographs detailing the artist’s travels, primarily train hopping, across North America from Mexico to Alaska during the fall of 2010 to the summer of 2011. The images take us inside the hobo culture that treads the line of fugitive and idyllic. Traditionally, train hoppers leave their mark denoting the direction they are headed, for instance EBD for eastbound or BW for westbound. Swampy’s tag was NBD for his northbound journey.
 

Cited as one of the most influential graffiti artists today, Swampy strikes a marked departure from his prolific street work with NBD. The images show us quiet observations of the communities, strangers and provocateurs that the artist encounters in his travels. As the images take us across the continent, we see the underbelly of a transient culture while also encountering the sublime landscapes and adventure in which the tracks take them. In the book’s introduction Swampy tells us:
 

The allure of traveling by train initially came from the absence of a price tag, but the sense of solitude that I discovered once I started riding is why I continue a decade later. The railway strikes out a different path across the landscape than roads and highways, and there is a calm to the environment surrounding the tracks.
 

Swampy is an elusive artist with a preference for anonymity. Even so, he has developed a cult following that is fascinated by his multidimensional work as much as by his enigmatic identity. “I like disappearing”, a phrase often peppering his work, is a regular practice for the artist. Following Swampy’s 2011 sold-out debut solo show at FIFTY24SF Gallery, the artist vanished off the grid. In his sporadic resurfacings, the artist has collaborated with Paper Monster and has been featured in The New York Times T Magazine, Complex, Juxtapoz and The San Francisco Chronicle.
