Earthshaker: Ana Mendieta, Derek Jarman, and P. Staff at Del Vaz Projects

“The artists in Earthshaker, too, draw our attention to the negative space. They ask us to acknowledge loss and to reckon with the harm that’s been done — but also to see the innumerable possibilities of altering the shape entirely.”

Cindy Ji Hye Kim: Animal Triste at François Ghebaly

“As Kim demonstrates in her decisive portrayals of laboring bodies at their most essential points, our collective unconsciousness has always been tied to natural cycles of life, no matter how much modernity obfuscates the fact.”

Claudia Ross

2025 UCLA MFA Exhibition #1: Sheng Lor, Yezi Lou, & M. O’D-L and Exhibition #2: Alma Alvarado, Jory Drew, ricardo nagaoka, & Adam Thompson at New Wight Gallery 

“These artists demonstrate a vibrant spectrum of aesthetic inquiry — diversity that, like LA’s art scene, resists easy categorization.”
