“We were born Generation X, officially, which is embarrassing to admit but true,” says interdisciplinary artist and member of My Barbarian Alexandro Segade, speaking about the collective similitude within the group, which includes performer and writer Malik Gaines and actress and artist Jade Gordon. Some of the defining characteristics of those born in Generation X have to do with burgeoning youth cultures amid the AIDS epidemic and the disintegration of the Eastern Bloc — those who were strongly affiliated with underground, outlier, and/ or q***r scenes alongside major cinematic and music franchises.

Congratulations to gallery artist Monique van Genderen on the ribbon cutting of her installation at the Sylvia H. Rambo U.S. Courthouse in Harrisburg, PA.

The painting’s blue ribbon is an abstract reference to the nearby Susquehanna River.

My Barbarian's exhibition is featured in Arforum as one of Johanna Burton's best of 2022!

"After some twenty years of tireless (and really fun) collaboration, the trio known as My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade) put on a retrospective. Curated by Edwards for the Whitney and subsequently shown at the ICA LA, what could have been a sprawling affair (My Barbarian has made a lot of work) appears, at first glance, restrained, humbly occupying a single gallery. Evoking “poor theater”—and a whole ot of other theater and nontheater, too— the show smartly and pointedly drills down on quality over quantity, transforming the space into a frame that rigorously narrates twenty years of work, the world the work responds to, and the evolution not only of the artists but of their audiences, too."

Currently on view through January 7th, Ulrike Müller’s first solo show in Los Angeles "On Edge".

Continuing the artist's exploration of relationships between abstraction and the body through painterly modalities that are not limited to brush and canvas is a group of enamel-on-steel paintings. Materially connected to industrial sign making, and to histories of hygiene and jewelry, the works on view, each entitled Hinges, are finely honed, kiln-fired compositions of hard-edged forms and curvilinear contours.

"This icy scene was originally exhibited at Kahn’s solo show with the Los-Angeles gallery Vielmetter, titled Forest for the Trees, in summer this year. It is part of a series of works that depict animals in different environments and reference climate change. The frame of the work is made of wood sourced by the artist and it includes “ceramic vessels that mimic icicles in this glacial environment” says Olivia Gauthier, the gallery’s assistant director." .official

Currently on view at the gallery through January 7th ";" Organized by Mark McKnight.

Featuring works by Etel Adnan, CAConrad, Moyra Davey, Demian Dinéyazhi', Shannon Ebner, John Giorno, Otis Houston Jr., Jibade-Khalil Huffman, Félix González-Torres, The Song Cave, and Cecilia Vicuña.

; is an exhibition that includes artists who work with, towards, and through poems, poets or “the poetic.” I selected this diverse array of makers because of their relationship to poetry either in spirit, or in the literal sense, and because I desired to see their work in constellation under poetry’s umbrella. It is a celebration of these artists, their work, and their significance to me as an individual, while also as an attempt to complicate the rigid semantic distinctions placed upon arranged language or objects as either “poems” or “artworks.”

Andrea Bowers is featured in the current issue of CARLA in the article "Andrea Bowers: An Ethos of Resistance," by Jessica Simmons-Reid.

"As an artist with activist tendencies (or the inverse), Bowers dabbles in the work of a historian, gathering and collating evidence and preserving intimate narratives that may otherwise remain unspoken. By tethering her work to the task of resistance, she allows her objects to vigorously engage in the complex sociopolitical ecosystem that exists beyond the periphery of a closed, art-centric discourse. The darkly serendipitous timing of her Hammer
retrospective underscored this idea: on June 24, days after the exhibition’s opening, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, decimating the constitutional right to abortion. This swiveling contextual framework imbued Bowers’ work with augmented layers of meaning: "Letters to an Army of Three and Make My Story Count" were no longer cautious remnants of a dismal past, but rather troubling harbingers of a malignant future."
