Description

MATERIAL RECOVERY: Printmaking with Recycled Materials is a group exhibition by LYNK Collective.

Works by: Yeansoo Aum • Elisabeth Beck • Andra Broekelschen Alexandra Chiara • Christina Yasmin Fesmire • Karen Fiorito • Carole Gelker • Bill Jaros • Nguyen Ly Diane McLeod • Jared Millar • William Myers • Marina Polic • Vera Polic-Lakhal • Francisco Rogido • Olga Ryabtsova Laura Shapiro • Tracy Loreque Skinner • Mary Lawrence Test • Paula Voss • Zana Zupur Guest Artists: Karen Feuer-Schwager • Kim Kei Wendy Murray • Jackie Nach • MJ Rado  • Victor Rosas • Fred Rose • Marianne Sadowski  • Jillian Thompson • Katie Thompson-Peer

The works in Material Recovery reclaim common materials such as cardboard, plastic, and wood – the very products that flow through the nearby Port of Los Angeles destined for landfills. As printmakers, the members of LYNK Collective have a vested interest in the ongoing recovery and reduction of waste. The paper on which they print— “rag” paper—was traditionally made from scraps of recycled cotton rags. Material Recovery: Printmaking with Recycled Materials is an expression LYNK Collective’s values, as ecologically conscious artists inhabiting a shared earth, producing artwork made from recycled rather than raw materials.

Black California Dreamin’: Claiming Space at America’s Leisure Frontier

Event Type

Family Activity
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Access to nature, recreation, and sites of relaxation—in other words, leisure—is critical to pursuing the full range of human experience, self-fulfillment, and dignity. The exhibition illuminates Angelenos and other Californians who worked to make leisure here an open, inclusive reality in the first half of the twentieth century. In shaping recreational sites and public spaces during the Jim Crow era, African Americans challenged white supremacy and situated Black identity within oceanfront and inland social gathering places throughout California.

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh: Speaking to Falling Seeds

Event Type

Family Activity
Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice considers Black image making as a site of protest, contestation, affirmation, and possibility. At CAAM, Fazlalizadeh will present a series of portraits of Black Angelenos wheat-pasted across the atrium’s monumental walls. Based on photographs and conversations that took place this spring while the artist was living in Los Angeles, the portraits ask how safety is inferred, built, and felt for the city’s Black residents.
