David DiMichele, Envirotechnology, Dimensions variable

MAIN GALLERY: Body Counts

Highlighting how figurative art, in many forms, can reflect on issues of representation, trust, group dynamics, alienation and social capital, Body Counts explores diverse artistic potentials that reflect on what can help maintain, or interrogate, society’s structures, democracy and civil rights.

Participating artists: Alison Blickle, Danie Cansino, Amir Fallah, Justine Otto, Duane Paul, Jose Sanchez III, Meghan Smythe, Haena Yoo

GALLERY TWO: David DiMichele - Envirotechnology

An immersive light art installation exploring the relationship between environmental issues and technology. The installation will be composed of a linear network of twisted oak branches intertwined with LED light strips that will form a kind of three-dimensional drawing in the interior space of the gallery creating a metaphor for the way technology can exist in harmony with nature rather than obliterating it.

DARK ROOM: Erin Cooney - Aire Libre

A single-channel video installation about environmental injustice in South Los Angeles made in collaboration with East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice, a community advocacy group based in Commerce and Long Beach.
