Imagined Hybrid Diane Williams December 7, 2019 - February 9, 2020 Back to All Exhibitions Diane Williams is a non-binary immigrant artist from the Philippines whose interdisciplinary work stems from the political and social landscape that surrounds her—specifically the ethnically diverse neighborhoods of Los Angeles. These neighborhoods are a “melting pot,” a testament to the idea that people of diverse backgrounds and identities can live harmoniously. By creating works regarding immigrants and gender, Williams’ work encourages cultural and social understanding by focusing on the duality, hybridity, and ambiguity that exists in diverse cultural narratives and identities. In the series Monsters and Aliens, Williams creates a variety of masks crafted from what she calls “cultural detritus”: shredded paintings and other discarded materials such as fabrics and yarn that have been salvaged from local shops that are traditionally owned, run and supported by immigrants. She wears these masks to signify “other” in her performances and self-portrait photographs. By completely covering the wearer’s face, the mask both takes away their humanity and transforms them into a human/animal hybrid, recalling female monsters from Ancient Greece, such as Medusa, the Sirens, and Chimera. These creatures were considered powerful, evil, and frightening. Williams wants the viewer to question what they fear from strangers and reflect on their own prejudices with respect to race and gender. Diane Williams is an interdisciplinary artist and organizer based in Los Angeles, California. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Long Beach in 2013 and is currently a 2021 Master of Fine Arts candidate at the University of Southern California. Her work has been featured in select publications and radio interviews including Los Angeles Magazine, LA Weekly, Artillery, Art and Cake, P&A Magazine and KPFK. Williams exhibited in several solo and group shows at the Armory Center for the Arts, Walter Maciel Gallery, The Lancaster Museum of Art and History, PØST, Cerritos College Gallery, Robert and Frances Fullerton Museum of Art RAFFMA, Children’s Museum of the Arts New York, Berkeley Art Center, San Francisco Arts Commission Galleries SFAC and Grafiska Sällskapet Stockholm, Sweden among others. Her art is held in private collections and the public collections of the National Immigration Law Center, Los Angeles and Washington DC headquarters and Azusa Pacific University.

I Hope the Wind Don’t Blow Various Artists May 9 - May 17, 2015 Back to All Exhibitions I Hope the Wind Don’t Blow was a look into the nine month process of interactions between a graduate class of eight students of Otis College of Art and Design Graduate Program in Public Practice, and the communities of Sun Village, Littlerock and surrounding areas of Antelope Valley. I Hope the Wind Don’t Blow is one outcome of the Outpost partnership between Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Antelope Valley communities of Sun Village and Littlerock, MOAH and Otis College of Art and Design, partnering local community members with artists to develop public expressions of community concerns and identity. As an educational component of such a rich and complex partnership, this class met weekly to develop skills of social engagement through principles of listening, eliciting, play, dialogue, sharing food, music, film, local tours, and a host of other social and aesthetic tools. Each student chose a focus - economic, historical, environment, youth development, and culture, developing collaborative and artistic forms of interaction to represent many local voices and social conditions. The many community events connected in this presentation included: Henderson Blumer - local voices digital archive Jeanette Degollado - community eco murals Margarethe Drexel - goat cheese making event Mark Farina - film as portrait of Antelope Valley Jennifer Kane & Beth Ann Morrison - mobile trailer as platform for community exchange Shefali Mistry - youth development Catherine “Scoti” Scott - Sun Village cooking circle for artisanal foods Behind this class of eight students has been the support of four key teachers Dorit Cypis (Lead Teacher and Managing Director), Misael Diaz, Tracee Johnson and Sara Daleiden. Suzanne Lacy, Director of Otis College of Art and Design Graduate Public Program, is key in developing the Outpost partnership and overseeing this program.

CODE is a collection of images that have been deconstructed within its digital file, or in other words, hacked in its “DNA.” Toppling the code of the original image file can affect properties such as contrast, RGB (Red-Blue-Green) values, and the pixel properties’ structure and order. It may even cause an image to cease to exist. These changes appear like glitches from a motion picture, presenting new forms and conditions, contributing to the large-scale artworks’ prominent and subtle sensory experience. While Perlmann specifically targets certain image properties, the final results are always unexpected and randomly calculated, leaving traces of human activity in the subject’s virtual and physical environment. This ongoing body of work is rooted in the conventions of the alternative processes of photography. However, this exhibit pushes beyond these processes by examining the foundation and entity of an image. Perlmann proposes the following questions for consideration when viewing his work: is an image a virtual or physical entity? Is a traditional photograph an image or a physical expression of a perception? Are all visual artists, in essence, image makers, constructors of ideas and concepts, generators of mirages of a world that resides in the human psyche? And lastly, what is the place of an image in the human experience? Leaving to interpretation whether an image’s building blocks are its code or the image is, in effect, a code of human perception. Perlmann is interested in creating images that yield an exchange between reason and the enigmatic, or the explainable and unexplainable. Many of his works are reactive for both the viewer and himself, “giving voice to profound encounters that trigger the instinctive, emotional, and intellectual self.” Perlmann was born in Budapest, Hungary, where his journey began as a photographer, independent filmmaker, and imaging artist. He currently resides in Los Angeles, where his work focuses on Southern California and his immediate environment.

As global warming and climate change continue to wreak havoc on the earth’s ecosystem, Los Angeles-based artist, Stephanie Sydney, examines the behaviors and attitudes of human nature and their direct contribution to the destruction and decay of the natural world. Through her carefully constructed digital collages, she combines her knowledge of painting and digital design. These collages are created through the use of Photoshop where she manipulates and layers images on top of one another. Through this layering of images, Sydney examines her fascination with the idea of juxtaposition between extreme concepts like life and death, strength and fragility, chaos and order, among others. Originally trained as a painter, Sydney views her photography as a canvas and Photoshop as her paintbrush, using the program to manipulate the size, color, and shape of her chosen images. The result reveals a surrealist interpretation of reality whose visual associations compel the viewers to question the relationship between the individual images and the overall message presented. These optic explorations of the natural world and urban blight reconstruct her spontaneous snapshots of everyday life into a meaningful investigation into the effects of global warming. Stephanie Sydney is a London-born artist who currently resides in Venice, California. She works in several media including mixed media, assemblage sculpture, installation, performance art, photography, digital, and digital collages. Her work is in several collections including Banque BNP Paribas and Morgan Stanley in New York. She has had solo exhibitions at Brand Library Art Gallery in Glendale, California; Gallery 825 in Los Angeles; Crafton Hills College Art Gallery in Yucaipa, California; and Villa di Donato in Naples, Italy. Sydney’s work has also been shown at Gallery FotoNostrum, Barcelona, Spain; and Raleigh Towers in Los Angeles, California; Launch LA and the Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles, California; Site: Brooklyn Gallery, New York; San Diego Museum of Art, and BG Gallery in Bergamot Station, Santa Monica, California.
