(07/26/21) - With eight weavings depicting silhouettes of humans and animals, Bracken’s second exhibition with the gallery is a masterful exhibition that connotes a free space in nature for queer folks. The scenes represented are incredibly intimate, with people and animals embracing each-other, sharing a liberated space, freely moving their bodies despite the weavings being stills. Rhyming Positions is displayed at 513 W. 20th Street up until August 20th.
Anya is live and ready to show you everything. Watch her strip, dance, and perform exclusive shows just for you. Interact in real-time and make your fantasies come true.

Art to See: Monster World & The Dog, the Tree and the Catfish @ Steve Turner
More fiber sculpture to see around Los Angeles....but these exhibition close soon (on February 10th) so if you have time this week, check these out!
Images from top:
from the press release:
Monster World, a solo exhibition by Toronto-based Hannah Epstein that consists of a selection of brightly colored hooked rugs that depict a variety of monsters as imagined by the artist, whether derived from her study of folklore, her visual backlog of TV images, or from her interest in internet memes.
from the press release:
The Dog, the Tree and the Catfish, a three-person exhibition featuring works by Jacqueline Laurita Cortese, Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio and Diedrick Brackens. The title of the exhibition describes the prominent image within each artist’s work: Cortese—fur covered lifesize ceramic sculptures of dogs that resemble German Shepherds; Aparicio—a painting that is made from rubber, paint and tree residue that resembles the surface of a flattened tree; and Brackens—weavings that incorporate the image of a catfish. Each artist combines personal subject matter with highly developed skills to create their singularly beautiful and somewhat strange objects. Biography always informs an artist’s work (Cortese is from suburban Long Island; Aparicio, from a Salvadoran neighborhood in Los Angeles and Brackens, from Mexia, Texas) but in making strange versions of familiar images (a dog, a tree and a catfish), each artist has signaled that far more is behind her/his work.
Steve Turner is located in Santa Monica. The address is 6830 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 6pm.

Repost from @calidagarciarawles • Where to begin... We’re all feeling it, helplessness in the face of tragedy after tragedy. Along with the unrest unfolding in Minneapolis, we're all watching folks stand firmly on the frontlines across the country and around the world as they do their part to make a difference. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, people everywhere continue taking to the streets, risking everything, to fight for justice. As artists, it's important to us to provide assistance to those who want change and are also, in need of a helping hand. __ Diedrick Brackens and I have created a limited-run of posters to raise funds to support the following organizations (swipe left). With proof of your direct donation of $100 or greater to one of these efforts, you will receive a poster from both of us. __ If you're able to join us, please make your donation via the link in my bio and email your receipt to [email protected] __ #DiedrickBrackens #CalidaRawles #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor #AhmaudArbery #TonyMcdade #TakeAction #BlackLivesMatter #Minnesota #protest #louisville https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-OApCJ7lo/?igshid=124gidzh4pepq
Visiting Artist Lecture: Diedrick Brackens
I’m pleased to announce our first Visiting Artist Lecture of the semester is coming up next week. We are fortunate to have Diedrick Brackens, one of the artists featured in “Text(iles): The Text is a Fabric” currently on view in the Earl and Virginia Green Art Gallery on campus, join us to discuss his work.
The lecture is scheduled for next Thursday, September 8th from 4:30 to 5:30pm in our regular classroom, Rood 51.
Los Angeles-based Diedrick Brackens makes weavings that incorporate techniques drawn from European tapestries, West African weavings, and Southern quilts. Brackens has worked through political protest and personal pain in creating compositions that incorporate joy, pleasure, and imagination.
He has had solo exhibitions at Johansson Projects in Oakland, Conduit Gallery in Dallas, and Pacific Sky Gallery in Eugene. His works have been included in group exhibitions at Berkeley Art Museum, SOMArts in San Francisco, and Work Gallery at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, among others.
Learn more about his work on his website: diedrickbrackens.com
Diedrick will be available to meet for studio visits with a few Senior Seminar/ Culmination students after the lecture, so be sure let me know ASAP if you are interested in meeting with him.
