Gallery Weekend Los Angeles:

 
RON ATHEY AND ADAM PARKER SMITH


Thursday, July 28th from 5:30 - 8pm

844 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles
 
For Gallery Weekend Los Angeles and in conjunction with Adam Parker Smith's ongoing exhibition, Crush, The Hole is proud to present a special screening of two short films by Ron Athey, the performance artist recognized as a founding father of the Cinema of Transgression movement of the 1980s. Gourmet French fries by Fried Out LA and draft beers by BRAMS Premium French Pilsner in our parking lot.


About the screening

Pasiphäe, Witch Queen of Crete: A Glory Hole Origin Story, Ron Athey with Hermes Pittakos. 9 minutes.
Entering the Forest of Acéphale, Ron Athey. 10 minutes. 

Ron Athey has been working at the vanguard of performance art for 25 years. Self-taught, his earliest work developed out of post-punk/pre-goth scenes, informed by the club actions of Johanna Went and the formulation of Industrial Culture. In the 1990s, Athey formed a company of performers and made Torture Trilogy, a series of works addressing the AIDS pandemic with the physical intensity of the 1970s body-art canon, such as COUM Transmission, Carolee Schneeman and the Viennese Actionists. His current body of work is largely inspired by the secret society of Acéphale, drawing parallels between pre-Occupation 1930s Paris and pre- Operation Spanner UK, responding to a reality where neo-fascism is mutating, creeping, and marching.



About the exhibition:

What is it about ancient statues that inspires breathless adoration, even occasional palpitations and fainting spells? For Crush, his fifth solo exhibition with The Hole, Adam Parker Smith poses this question in the form of five monumental marble sculptures, taking a drastic departure from his typical material and scale. The sculptures, which stand or rest at one cubic meter each, give the impression that the canon of classical statuary has been put through an industrial compactor. Such machined units as we know them are for shipping, stocking, stacking; like the square watermelons in Japan they are functional, disturbing. This ancient stone, from the same Carrara mountain owned by the same family as in Michaelangelo’s time, makes the sculptures faithful to their historical antecedents, but in this new form Smith interrupts our inclination to exalt in their presence, helping us to see these icons of mythology in a profoundly new way.

“Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? 
It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. 
Let me ask you a question, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you?” 
- the character of Cobb in Christopher Nolan’s Inception


Lowell Ryan Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Allison Lu Wang (b. 1994, Los Angeles, CA) titled splash, drip, drip, woo, splash. Composed of nine paintings, 48h by 36w inches in scale, all archival ink on linen, this will be Wang’s first exhibition with the gallery. In these recent works, Allison Lu Wang depicts various landscapes that are a reflection of the world she lives in both literally and figuratively. Her cinematic use of color and manipulation of imagery create works that take the viewer on a journey through time and place within the blink of an eye.

Wang’s process of landscape painting—or one might call landscape building—pulls from disparate sources in her life, imagination, experiences and fascinations. Her process begins in an analog format sourcing various printed images cut from magazines, books, etc., as well as directly painted elements, such as an orchid in her studio rendered in oil paint. Entering the digital realm, photographs of these collages and painted images are further expanded upon and manipulated on the computer. There is always a sense of place, whether a more direct image from a street in her native Los Angeles or a scene from a favorite movie or video game. Pictorially no subject matter is treated with more or less importance, however direct cinematic and pop-cultural references can take on greater significance conceptually to the artist. Anakin Skywalker’s transformation into Darth Vader—consumed by paranoia, power and greed, and Cobb’s team in Inception standing on a street awaiting an unknown force take on both emotional and contextual significance to the artist—references to real life emotions played out in a fantastical realm.
 
In a world increasingly separating itself from a grounding force, the emotional ramifications of one’s psychological existence are explored through both formal process and subject matter. While not immediately evident at first glance, the artist has placed an image of herself in each work. An obvious signifier of the personal nature of the work, but also a nod to the human experience and our emotional capacity to understand the shift from the Information Age into the Age of Imagination.
