T

he desire to source cultural journalism as free-range as the food

some aspire to ingest might compel Southern California viewers to forage. After all, this more intrepid content is rarely on offer as part

of traditional broadcast or “public” television programming, which is usually stifling in its predictability of tone.

Serendipitously, in October of 2010,

KCET officially announced it was ending its forty-year relationship as PBS’ flagship West Coast station. After years of discussing the challenges it had been facing with the public media behemoth, KCET chose independence.

Even Al Jerome, CEO and President of KCET, noted in an interview with Santa Barbara’s Independent, the “vast majority of PBS’s ‘icon programs’ are produced by three East Coast stations,” the average prime-time series has been on for 32 years and it has been more than eight years since PBS implemented its last major new series.

Honing its bold mandate to now produce “community media,” the newly independent KCET decided to invest in the local community, which also just happens to be the creative capital of the nation. Under the steady inspired guidance of Director of Production + Program Development Juan Devis, KCET’s new arts journalism initiative Artbound stealthily infuses authenticity into the corporate media dictated cultural landscape. A currency missing from our consumer driven environments, authenticity is necessary for genuine reflection upon the human condition. The space to reflect on where we are, ponder how we may have arrived here and co-navigate novel paths to living and learning as communities.

Since launching in May of this year, Artbound has culled insights, observations and analysis from 20 writers, cultural advisors and critics, all of whom are deeply embedded in Southern California’s multifaceted and diverse cultural landscape. These contributors, many of whom are artists with complex practices themselves, have already produced more than 150 online columns for the initiative. Artbound actively engages audience participation by encouraging readers to vote on the long-form multimedia arti12

cles, which are then vetted every week by the show’s editorial team. Stories receiving the most votes are produced into weekly short videos that can be viewed online. The inaugural Artbound television show, which debuted August 16th on KCET, featured the best of these compelling hyper-local videos and marks the first time viewers actually curate the content they watch on public television. Each month until November, a new hour long Artbound will air on KCET. Fabrik engaged Juan Devis about the fascinating directions being explored by the visionary team producing Artbound.

Among the videos presented in the first installation of ArtBound: •

“Jack Rabbit Homestead” by Kim Stringfellow, highlights remote desert communities in San Bernardino county.

•

“The Date Farmers” by Drew Tewksbury, also Artbound’s Managing Editor, tells the story of an eclectic group of artists in the Coachella Valley and their influence on Chicano pop art.

•

“California Hot Tubbing: An Oral History of the Steam Egg”

by Robby Herbst, spotlights a communal steam bath in the shape of an egg in downtown Los Angeles.

•

“A Year in the Life: Manuel Paul López's ‘1984’” by Amy Sanchez, an animated short, that delves into López's encyclopedic knowledge of modern and contemporary literature and borderchild vernacular sensibility.

FABRIK: How did the idea for KCET Public Media’s Artbound evolve and come into fruition?

JUAN DEVIS (JD): The concept for the series was formulated after our split from PBS and our mission to engage with our local community in a more relevant and participatory way.

Before our split, KCET had already began experimenting with the online space, incubating ideas and creating web-only series that addressed

SPOTLIGHT

issues of community engagement, mapping and participation, such as it is the case with Departures, while defining our role and the purpose of cultural journalism in Southern California.

Once the split occurred, one of KCET’s main strategic initiatives was to create programming focusing on the arts and culture of our region, and provide new production and distribution models that embraced the changing landscape of public media. Artbound: Southern California Cultural Journalism was designed to address these two issues head on.

FABRIK: With the independence KCET has garnered since leaving the PBS fold, there seems to be a renewed commitment to serving the public in a bolder and far more transparent manner as evidenced by Artbound’s emphasis on participatory media. How is this experiment working so far?

JD: We live in a networked, participatory culture where the consumption of art and culture is not only multi-linear — see it - record it, social media it — but where the recommendation of a peer often carries more weight than the word of the critic. This is forcing many of us to expand not just the ways in which we think about culture, but the traditional vehicles we use to communicate them.

In our new media saturated environment, the critical issue for the arts is not just one of analysis but also distribution; that is why we've created a platform where audiences can become a participant in the re-telling or creation of a story.

FABRIK: You have identified Artbound as “transmedia.” Please can you talk more about this term and how you came to designate the series as such? How important and/or necessary is engaging the public and audience to public media’s mandate?

JD: With over thirty columnists and cultural critics in 11 counties of Southern California, Artbound scans the region, providing seeds of engagement through articles, videos, projects and partners, who are narrating the cultural stories of the area.

By selecting articles that will be turned into short-format documentaries and TV episodes, Artbound audiences become programmers, curators and critics, helping us determine what is current and viable.

FABRIK: The comprehensiveness with which Artbound explores the cultural landscape of Southern California is astounding. Can you share a bit about the process by which the show enlists contributors and subjects to fill out the 9 disciplines being reported upon?

JD: Good criticism reveals layers of hidden meaning, allowing audiences to uncover the relationship a particular work of art has to place and community. A critic who doesn’t understand local connections, or can’t translate them legibly for their audience, is unable to explain how culture and the production of art is embedded in the daily life.

Variables such as the economy, access, transportation, and landscape—to name a few—have had an enormous impact on the development of the cultural life of Southern California. Journalists and writers who do not understand the implications of these variables often report as outsiders, practicing what I call: drive-by journalism.

With Artbound, we wanted to change this dynamic and provide a space for writers and cultural critics to report from within their communities and bring a focus back to local feature reporting.

Beyond writing a review and sharing an informed opinion, we asked our contributors to become “context providers” who create stories that are not an end to themselves but instead act as seeds for engagement in their own local communities and networks.

In Artbound, each article is rated and “reviewed” by the audience, the most popular weekly article goes head to head against the editor’s choice - the story that garners the most votes gets turned into a short format documentary that later migrates into Television.

Contributors are encouraged to mobilize their local communities to vote and support for the artists and stories of their region – allowing us to engage in a hyper-local level with the residents of the area. In a sense, Artbound contributors are engaging with the idea of access as central to their role as public intellectuals.

FABRIK: What do you feel prepared you in particular to spearhead a cutting edge experimental arts oriented program format such as the one you have been able to develop for Artbound?

JD: I grew up in Colombia surrounded by a family of artists, social workers and cowboy style DIY entrepreneurs; this gave me the tools to find connecWeb fabrik.la

tions between the public sector, the art world, and the pioneer spirit of my grandparents’ generation.

I have brought these three sensibilities to my work in film, television and new media, not only in terms of the content that I choose to produce, but the way in which it is presented.

The resourceful mindset of the Colombian, paired with the tools that I’ve been provided in the Unites States, have allowed me to propose a new economy or mode of production and engagement.

Although I appreciate traditional documentary and narrative work, I believe the process in which these works comes into being is often more interesting and relevant for an audience.

Instead of relying on a time based narrative – be it a film or a doc – to provide a point of view, why not maximize the hard work and money that goes into developing a story, by framing each step as an indispensable part of a larger narrative?

FABRIK: How has working with and producing ‘public media’ with KCET changed the way you experience Los Angeles?

JD: I discovered Los Angeles through public media and learned how to produce public media because of Los Angeles; they’ve had a yin and yang effect on each other; they are interchangeable.

After a bad hangover climbing LA’s entertainment ladder, I learned to find a place here in Los Angeles thanks to the tools that the practice of public media offered me. I have tried to get lost in the city and let its people and history lead me to a path back home. This personal journey of inquiry and curiosity is at the center of what I have been doing at KCET.

FABRIK: What aspects of this city continue to surprise you?

JD: Los Angeles is not an easy place to live – you can easily get lost here and never find your way back. I think we are still trying to understand what Los Angeles is, define it, contain it – but somehow it continues to slip out of our hands.

SPOTLIGHT

When you walk out on the street in New York or Bogota, the city is right in front of you – all of it – the good, the bad and the ugly. Here in Los Angeles, you open the door and find yourself…. with yourself. That is what makes Los Angeles so fascinating – at least for me. It is a very introspective megalopolis with a series of multi-ethnic villages that never seem to stop.

I think that that sense of solitude and at times isolation has created the perfect environment for some of the most extraordinary community expressions and art practices to emerge in the last 50 years.

FABRIK: Who are some local artists you have discovered in the process of working on this series and what in particular about their work affects or interests you? What within the Southern California arts landscape do you hope to influence with the show Artbound?

JD: The fascinating part of all this process is that we have been able to discover great artists thanks to the breath and variety of contributors that we have and to the amazing work that our Managing Editor Drew Tewksbury has done to help shape and guide some of these stories.

Because of their geographic location and editorial perspective, each contributor has opened the door to a variety of artists, disciplines and perspectives that together contribute to create a larger story about Southern California’s cultural DNA. One of the first columns of the series was penned by writer and artist Robbie Herbst, who wrote about the work of Michael Parker, a public practice sculptor who created a steam room in the shape of an disco-ballegg (The Steam Egg) and the steam seasons that accompanied it creating a sort of living sculpture. We convinced Parker to hold a steam session for one of our video segments and he invited a group of friends along with a herbj and dj. In the morning we went foraging with the herbj in the hills of Highland Park and later that night, communed with artists and poets during a steam session in the middle of downtown Los Angeles.

Lilledeshan Bose, a contributor from the OC, wrote a fascinating article about a community ran exhibition — ART WITH AN AGENDA — honoring the murder of Kelley Thomas in the city of Fullerton. People from all ages and walks of life contributed to the exhibit with over 80 pieces con-

demning or examining the events of the murder. After meeting with the organizer Steve Baxter and listening to him explain the ethos of the exhibit, Bruce Dickson (video unit producer/director) agreed that the best way to approach this story was to hold a “town-hall� meeting about the role and purpose of art in the face of collective anger and loss. It was an emotional and relevant moment for us that signaled the role we could play in covering the arts and culture of Southern California.

Both of these stories encapsulate the editorial goals of Artbound; our public media practice is to explore the role that art has in our community and the ways in which people participate with it, both formally and informally.

WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MEI? — WORDS PHIL TARLEY PHOTOS COURTESY MEI XIAN QIU

M

ove over David Lachapelle and Pierre et Gilles. Get back Wang

Qingsong. Here comes Mei Xian Qui. Eastern themes of post Chairman Mao politics enliven a bizarre dialog in Mei’s highly original,

super sexy, uber-feminine photography. Mei is a quintessential Los Angeles artist, whipping up images in which Asian and Western themes implode in a delightful mélange of post modern sensibility.

Mei’s photographs take me into a world I’ve never seen before. Many allude to classic western tableaux, a nod to her painterly background. But then Mei infuses her work with a dramatic narrative. She catches her models in moments filled with expectancy and anticipation. She poses her characters, which are often gender ambiguous, as if they are in a play. Her actors often allude to a sexual back story, and seem to promise a big surprise at the end, after they have left her stage.

Mei Xian Qiu was born in the town of Pekalongan, on the island of Java, Indonesia, to a third generation Chinese minority family. She has lived all over Europe, is based in Los Angeles and makes frequent trips back to China. “I feel 100% Chinese Indonesian, and 100% American. I am a part of a kind of floating culture. My sense of individual identity becomes linked to something ever shifting and transient.”

I first met the Mei Xian Qui through the Los Angeles Art Association - we are both artist members. Peter Mays, the association’s director thrilled to promote her work, was quite proud that his Gallery 825 could provide a launch pad for her stratospheric career trajectory. Mei is blowing up big.

graphs sold handsomely. Then the L.A. Art Association took the artist to Basel Switzerland, where she sold every work she showed and took orders for five additional pieces. Peter was delighted and plans to take Mei to Art Basel Miami Beach in December. “I love her work; it’s timely, contemporary and challenging.”

I have watched Mei’s photography mature and marry her diverse inspirations to their current incarnation, which she renders in Plexiglass. Mei prints onto the Plexiglass itself allowing a gentle backlight to infuse her imagery. Against a delicate palette of tropical birds and pink flowers, this soft kiss of backlight lays down a gossamer femininity and lightness that leaves me gender intrigued and scratching my head in delight wondering what is really going on in her photographs. The artist, sweet-natured and quick-smiled, cultivates an air of purposeful mystery.

Rex Bruce, director of LACDA, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, who showed the artist a few months ago, told me, "Mei Xian Qui is an artist with the perfect balance of humor, politics, multiculturalism and visual pleasure. Her images are exquisite and irresistible—her peculiar combinations of gay love, Chinese takeover, and L.A. pop sensibility illicit a sense of surprise in the onlooker."

How gay is Mei? Can the work of an Asian woman on Plexiglass really evoke gay anyway? And what is gay today? In her post-modern world of ethnic diversity, can’t we all be gay for a day? Half the fun in Mei’s work is trying to decode the artist’s campy, sometimes zany, quasi-political iconography.

Mei Xian Qui is about process-melding her Asian and Los Angeles identities to constantly collide in clever, amusing and surprising ways. Her work is adorable, campy art that has both pith and ash. Who could ask for more? Resistance is futile.

I’m wanting a piece to hang on my living room wall.

During the month of September, the artist has work in Tarfest and Art Platform. Her solo show, Early Spring, at Artist’s Corner, opens on Friday, September 21, with a reception for the artist at 7pm.

FRESH FACES IN ART: EIGHT LA ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EMERGENT PRESENCE

BY CATLIN MOORE AND MATTHEW GARDOCKI, CO-DIRECTORS OF 5790projects

1. THEODORA ALLEN Citing cultural snippets reflective of a nostalgic Americana, UCLA MFA candidate Theodora Allen paints seemingly insignificant fragments of a master image. A hazy vase of flowers plucked from the background of a popular Gram Parsons album, heavy royal blue velvet curtains drawn from the corridors of Graceland, and wispy portraits from archival television footage forge a larger narrative of heartache and reflection. Allen's feathery textures and ghostly figures allude to a bittersweet reminiscence, a cultural lineage that is at once memorialized and reanimated within her canvases. Loosely referred to as tokens from a "vanishing heritage," Allen's works explore the motifs of a collective identity, but void of context or era.

Through her skillfully nebulous rendering, Allen manipulates the coalescence between multiple disparate social moments - producing a sentimental projection through a plaintive hand and haunting intimacy. Allen (b. 1985) is the recent recipient of the Resnick Scholarship, and is expected to graduate in 2014. www.theodoraallen.com

2. KEVIN APPEL In his solo exhibition at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects (July 14 – August 23, 2012), Kevin Appel's aesthetic mixology culminates in a rich survey of terrains and mediums; forging an uncharted topography as variant as it is alluring. Appel's preoccupation with physical space and perception is manifested through a territorial struggle between collage, geometric abstraction, and minimalism – a compositional annexation in which borders are effectively nullified. Photographic regions are invaded by great swaths of paint and frenetic textile-like patterning; fashioning an obscured landscape peppered with architectural and organic forms alike. His adroit use of structure and spontaneity generates a mood of order on the verge of chaos, a palpable tension between the visual and imagined, the tangible and psychological.

Appel (b. 1967) received his M.F.A from UCLA, and has works in several public collections, including LACMA (CA) and MoMA (NY). www.kevinappelstudio.com

3. AMIR H. FALLAH Amir H. Fallah's models are at once refined and awkward. Like hallucinatory portraits of 17th century elite, their moment of noble repose is shrouded by anonymity and contorted posture. Their gangly hands grasp atypical tchotchkes and appear inelegantly candid, making Fallah's painterly caricatures unpretentious excerpts from assorted biographies.

Much like his art historical predecessors, Fallah highlights objects as personal signifiers; anecdotal tokens that allude to a larger memoir. His harlequin palette and angular aesthetic reference the fantastic whimsy of Persian miniature paintings, while his contemporary composition leads the eye through a timeline gone awry. Sharply angular lines chart a visual trajectory that retraces a story both obscure and familiar, and intersect a miscellany of opulent textures and artifacts indicative of an authentic experience. Fallah (b.

1979) received his M.F.A. from UCLA and is represented by The Third Line (Dubai) and Frey Norris Contemporary (San Francisco). www.amirhfallah.com

4. MICHELLE CARLA HANDEL With a dexterous manipulation of industrial materials, Michelle Carla Handel transfigures wood, polyester fiberfill, muslin, silicone, rubber, urethane, vinyl and rope from the banal to the corporeal. Coy references within the dichotomous nature of her mediums – which are as easily commercial as they are deviant – evoke a purely visceral confrontation with our most latent associations. Tapping into a lineage of body politics, Handel employs a comical tone in her evaluation of beauty constructs, her deformed anatomies misshapen and vulnerable in their configurations. Seated, reclining, suspended, or bound, her abstracted forms summon conflicting notions of the erotic and repellent, and evoke an instinctive grapple between the carnal and psychological. Handel (b. 1968) received her M.F.A. from the Claremont Graduate University; she recently showed in a two-person exhibition at Garboushian Gallery, aptly titled "Your Mouth Undone." www.michellecarlahandel.com

5. LESTER MONZON Ever since the war between "fine art" and "design" has been waged, a border increasingly diminishing in the advent of accessible technology, context has historically been the dividing faction between the two practices – and Lester Monzon is its analog commentator. Colorful gesticulations conceal sections of rigid patterning, a tête-á-tête between abstract expressionism and hard-edge abstraction that implies a kind of gentle lampooning of the taxonomic tradition. Monzon upends the rigid formalism and segregation innate to the fine art world, and fabricates a composite genealogy of painting – a pithy resolution to an otherwise vapid debate. Monzon's luscious brushstrokes slyly creep into a Hirst-esque field of dots or Nolandlike plane of stripes, like the resurrection of a once-declared dead practice through a satirical hand. Monzon (b. 1973) received his M.F.A. from Art Center College of Design.

6. NANO RUBIO Channeling the squeegee technique of Gerhard Richter and the pinstripe precision of hot rod detailing, Nano Rubio weds heterogeneous extremes of a singular medium. In his hands, paint is both the unifying and dividing constituent of a comprehensive framework – the meticulously rendered veins in his background giving object-like life to the explosive smears in the foreground. While occupying a shared space and makeup, the paint's variance implies disconnected genres; an inequality that Rubio likens to sociopolitical polarities and limited choice.

Loosely referencing the abstracted human form in motion, Rubio incorporates much of himself in his process-oriented execution. While some paintings require a laborious system of layering and exactitude, others broach the subject of our physicality through performance – in which Rubio fills a punching bag with paint, and lets the result of his exertion drag across the canvas. Exploring the increasing disconnection between cognizance and being, Rubio profiles the limitations of a shared constitution with candor and conviction. Rubio (b. 1982) received his M.F.A. from Claremont Graduate University, and had his first solo exhibition at George Lawson Gallery titled, "Vectors: Recent Paintings." www.nanorubio.com

7. CHRISTOPHER RUSSELL Dealing less with the supernatural than the psychosomatic, Christopher Russell rouses ghosts.

Within his scratched photographs, fractured glass panes, and hazy metallic paints, there are haunting recollections – the kind of outlier memories that plague our psyche well after childhood. Through a purposefully repressive fog, we habitually revisit the monsters of our innermost selves, and find ourselves the protagonist of a lifelong plight – a cinematic tale evocatively illustrated by Russell's eerie ships and spectral trees. Like a folkloric odyssey into our cognitive web, his mixed-media works and installations traipse through places of fragility and wistfulness; evidence of the divine and unsettling encounters inherent to our complex mortality. Russell (b. 1974) received his M.F.A. from the Art Center College of Design. He is represented by Luis de Jesus, Los Angeles. www.russellarchive.com

8. LISA WILLIAMSON Lisa Williamson conjures elegance from the ordinary. Through a manipulation of scale and balance, she fabricates graceful – yet purposefully imperfect – prototypes of spatiality. Powdercoated aluminum forms appear as matte corrugated steel, ribbons, or forceps, but with subtle evidence of intervention in a folded corner or asymmetrical composition. Grappling with the perception of physical and cognitive space, Williamson interrupts a purely minimalist practice with playful curiosity – as if satirizing the formal properties associated with its calculated rituals. Recalling a Therrien-esque preoccupation with signified function and three-dimensionality, Williamson's works on paper, sculptures, painting, video, and publications accentuate the notion of rationality as simply animated in the mind of the viewer – a refined study in subjectivity. Williamson (b. 1977) received her M.F.A. from USC, and was recently featured in Made in L.A. at the Hammer Museum through September 2. She is represented by Shane Campbell Gallery (Chicago). lisawilliamsonart.blogspot.com

SEARCHING LOS ANGELES FOR ARTISTIC ALTERNATIVES TO UNINSPIRING ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS — WORDS NICHOLAS FORREST

I

ncorporating artistic elements into the most mundane of architectural com-

ponents such as doors, walls and windows has proven a challenge for even

the most resourceful designers and architects. Known for its innovative

architecture and design, Los Angeles is one of the best sources for collectors, investors and interior designers of inspired and inventive artistic alternatives to uninspiring architectural components and materials.

Dividing a room has traditionally been the job of a folding screen or a wall, so when David Cressey designed his bizarre totemic stoneware “Glyph Wall” for the Architectural Pottery Pro/Artisan Collection in 1965, it must have caused quite a stir in the world of interior design. Each column was made of individual “glyphs”, which were designed so that they could be arranged in any configuration using any number of the glyphs, thus allowing for the creation of short barriers or tall walls.

Six of Cressey’s columns were acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in early 2011 which, according to LACMA, originally came “from a state government office building on P Street in Sacramento nicknamed 52

the ‘Brown Towers’ because they were built under the tenure of governor Edmund Gerald ‘Pat’ Brown, who served from 1959–1967.” Such is the rarity of Cressey’s columns nowadays that if you are lucky enough to find even one tall thirteen glyph column, it would likely set you back around $10,000.

Capistrano Beach based artist Mabel Hutchinson (1903-1999) solidified her place in California design history with her series of sculptural doors produced during the 1960s. Made of walnut and covered in a series of exquisitely carved patterns and designs, the doors are so beautifully made that they could also double as wall hangings.

Los Angeles Modern Auctions offered a pair of Hutchison’s doors for sale at their May 6 auction with an estimate of $12,000-$18,000, but unfortunately they failed to find a buyer. A similar pair of doors, originally created for the entrance of the Laguna Beach Art Guild building, and exhibited at the California National Design Show in 1968, were offered for sale by Wright Auctions in 2005 with an estimate of $10,000–15,000.

One of the most fascinating artistic approaches to a usually boring building component was the concrete “textile block” devised by Frank Lloyd Wright and first installed in a house built by the architect in Pasadena in 1923.

Commissioned by Alice Millard, an antiques collector and rare book dealer, Millard House, also known as La Miniatura, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Commenting on the creation of the “textile blocks” in his autobiography, Wright said: "The concrete block? The cheapest (and ugliest) thing in the building world… Why not see what could be done with that gutter-rat?" What Wright did was add a simple artistic element to the humble concrete block which transformed it into an aesthetically pleasing, yet functional building material.

Although Wright’s textile blocks were essentially just textured and patterned precast concrete bricks with perforated, glass-filled apertures, the design of the block system utilised a quite complex strengthening system of horizontal and vertical steel rods that were woven through the bricks – a technique which led to them being called “textile blocks.” Wright even referred to himself in his autobiography as a “weaver” who, with his textile blocks, crocheted “a free masonry fabric capable of stunning variety, great in architectural beauty.”

After undergoing an expensive restoration, Wright's Millard House (La Miniatura) was listed for sale with an asking price of $7.7 million in 2009, but has since been dropped to below $5 million. The house was last sold in 2000 for $1.3 million. Another of Wright’s textile block houses, the Ennis House, was also on the market for some time starting off with an asking price of $15 million in 2009 which was reduced several times until it was sold to billionaire businessman Ron Burkle for just under $4.5 million in July 2011. Because of current economic conditions and the cost of caring for such important buildings, both the Millard House and the Ennis House have proven a tough sell.

For those that can’t afford a multi-million dollar house, a 4" Sq Millard paperweight based on the textile block of the Alice Millard House can be purchased from The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation website for a mere $30.00. Or perhaps you would prefer a Millard key ring and card case of etched brass with nickel silver plating available for just $50.00.

Artist De Wain Valentine, one of the key figures in the California Light & Space movement, and one of the most influential sculptors active in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s, became a sculptor after being in a position where he had to make the choice between a career in architecture or art. Choosing to challenge the boundaries between art and architecture using materials and techniques from both disciplines, Valentine is best known for his massive wall, column and disc sculptures that he produced using highly toxic industrial materials.

One such sculpture, “Curved Waterwall (1990),” a custom designed architectural outdoor sculpture, will be offered for sale by Los Angeles Modern Auctions on the 7th of October with an estimate of $50,000–100,000.

Commissioned for the consignor and measuring over 6 feet tall, this sculpture is one of the largest of Valentine’s works ever to be offered at auction.

Valentine’s sculptures have become extremely popular over the last few years with his “Blue Rose Circle” acquired by the National Gallery in Washington and his “Triple Disk Red Metal Flake — Black Edge” acquired by New York’s Museum of Modern Art – both acquisitions were made in 2011.

More recently, the artist’s “Blue Rose Circle” was acquired by the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

THE PHYSICAL SPIRIT: DIVINE SEX, BEAUTY AND THE GROTESQUE IN THE ART OF ERIC GILL — WORDS DAVID VEGA IMAGES ERIC GILL’S WORK COURTESY OF THE ESTATE OF ERIC GILL / BRIDGEMAN ART LIBRARY

I

t would be unfair to judge Eric Gill the artist by his spotted personal life; it would be equally unfair to judge Eric Gill the man solely by his body of creative work. In essence, it is impossible to define or assess a character of such complexity. A letter cutter, sculptor, typeface designer, and writer, Gill managed to embrace several different art forms, impacting the 20th century art and design world in a few short years. What is most impressive, however, is how Gill incorporated the erotic with divine reverence, inviting his viewers to consider the possibility that the two are not mutually exclusive impulses. In doing so, this distinctly curious artist managed to boldly challenge the aesthetic norms of a post-Victorian society while still maintaining the respect of the religious institutions that supported much of his work.

Gill first began his career in 1903, cutting stone inscriptions for various clients in London’s Hammersmith district under one Edward Johnston. Gill had a deft hand and business was soon thriving. He decided to start his own studio and moved to Ditchling in 1907, bringing with him assistant Joseph Cribb.

Johnston decided to join the two. Along with a fourth man, Hilary Pepler, they founded The Guild, a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to the protection and the promotion of its members' work, the Catholic faith and domestic simplicity.

ICONOCLAST

Here in Ditchling, Gill felt free from the watchful eyes of modest society, frequently working in a rough tunic (sans undergarments), reminiscent of the robes of medieval monks, or writing tracts on the proper role of the craftsman in society. He valued the hard, honest work of a simple artisan of the old days who would cater to the common man just as readily as to the well heeled. As a founder of Distributism, the “3rd position” between communism and capitalism, Gill argued that skilled labor and the general populace should control the means of production, rather than the state or elite property owners.

“On those occasions I was caught unprepared. I did not know such beauties could exist. I was struck as by lightning, as by a sort of enlightenment. On that evening I was thus rapt. It was no mere dexterity, that transported me; it was as though a secret of heaven were being revealed.” — E R I C G I L L , O N H I S F I R S T I N T RO D U C T I O N T O T Y P O G R A P H Y It was during the early years in Ditchling that Gill carved his first figures in stone and wood, reviving the direct carving method rather than the common practice of sending models to be cast by industrial means. (Across the English Channel in France, Romanian born sculptor Constantin Brancusi would do the same). These years would also introduce him to sex as a subject in his sculpture: after hearing art critic Ananda Coomaraswamy’s discussions on Indian art in 1908, Gill began to mimic the images of Hindu gods overseeing coupled figures mid coitus carved on temple facades.

This act of blending the divine and the erotic was not new to British eyes, of course; printmaker Aubrey Beardsley had been focusing on the erotic in his decadent work years before. Had Gill read Nietsche’s Birth of Tragedy, he may have found that British reserve and Apollonian rationale both benefitted from a dose of the Dionysian cults of the east. The kind of art that blended reason with ecstatic release was a pure one.

ICONOCLAST

Gill’s sculptural commissions soon increased in number and in 1911, he had his first exhibition in London to great success. This did not go unnoticed.

By 1914, he was chosen to carve the Stations of the Cross at the Roman Catholic Westminster Cathedral. A new convert, Gill found that the prestigious commission reinforced his growing interest in religious matters. It may well have been that the mystical nature of the early Catholic church appealed to him; the symbols of the church as bride and Christ as groom may have fit in perfectly with his new religious ideology, justifying the view that human sex was only an earthly manifestation of a blessed act that begged to be brought to the public sphere.

His interest in sex as divine act has been the subject of discussion for several decades, especially now after his sketches and writings have been examined by a new series of biographers. A man obsessed with these things, Gill found that human desire could only find true satisfaction were it to be elevated to the holy and the sublime. This held true for the forms of everything he imagined, whether it be letter or flesh. More often than not it involved the latter.

There were countless hours of study devoted to the anatomy of others and his own erect member, watching animals mating and his friends playing tennis in the nude. Appendages were drawn and redrawn in the studio, subjects of dutiful worship. All was carefully recorded in his diaries and sketchbooks, a collection of life’s beautiful, carnal possibilities. Were it not for the ghastly discovery in 1989 by biographer Fiona MacCarthy—that Gill had committed heinous abuses, sexually molesting his children and sleeping with his sister (not to mention the family dog)—he may have simply been relegated to the shelves of other sexobsessed artists who easily jump from reclining nude to Madonna and Child.

This is exactly what makes Gill so problematic for most critics and art scholars today. How does one reconcile the brilliance of a man’s talent with his reprehensible human behavior? It’s true that once MacCarthy’s biography became public, Gill’s moral reputation was destroyed. The art world, however, has been much more forgiving: his reputation as a master craftsman remains untarnished, and his woodcuts, sculpture, prints and typeface have been given more attention than ever before.

Gill shines best when one studies his simple linear expressions. One can’t help but admire his most famous font, the self-referential Gill Sans, widely used by the BBC, or the more traditional Perpetua, based on Roman inscriptions. He explains his view on the art of designing fonts: 64

“What is good lettering? That was the job before me. And at every point a justification must be found in reason.

What is decoration but that which is seemly and appropriate? Ornamental typography is to be avoided no less than ornamental architecture in an industrial civilization he states in his autobiography. The truth is that a thing fit for its purpose is necessarily pleasant to use and also beautiful.” — A N E S S AY O N T Y P O G R A P H Y (L O ND O N, J .M . D E NT, 19 31 ) He continues his discussion of simple, beautiful design:

“My one complaint against machine-made goods is precisely this: that they too often hide their light under a bushel of “design.” Think how decent alarm clocks might be if they were just as plain and well-made outside as they often are inside! I think an artist is not a person who makes things beautiful, but simply one who deliberately makes things as well as he can — whether he is a clockmaker or picture-painter. I think that if you look after goodness and truth, beauty will take care of itself...”

Regardless of his talent, not everyone can so easily forgive him of his transgressions. There is an ongoing call for the removal of the Stations of the Cross in Westminster Cathedral and his sculpture entitled “The Creation of Adam” that stands in the lobby of the Palais des Nations, now the European HQ

Have we gotten past the anti-semitism of Wagner, or forgiven Caravaggio—painter, killer, and homoerotic depicter of young boys—his sins? The answer to that question is a subjective one, perhaps left for another debate.

estled among boutiques and restaurants along a stretch of Silver Lake Blvd in Northeast Los Angeles is a small front yard that has become a testing ground for audacious experiments in architecture and design.

From the tinted mylar, space-warping Maximilian’s Schell (2005-2006), designed

by Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues, to the angular metal structure Density Fields (2007) by the Oyler Wu Collaboration (featured in last month’s issue of Fabrik), for the last decade artists, architects and landscape designers from all over the world have squeezed spectacular and highly inventive structures into this 25 x40 foot outdoor exhibition space.

The space belongs to Materials & Applications (M&A), a research and exhibition center dedicated to advancing new and underused ideas in art, architecture and landscape design. Founded in 2002 by artist Jenna Didier, the space was conceived as a place where innovative and emerging artists and designers can collaborate on new ideas for public space. Didier also hoped it would inspire social engagement and involve the local community, something that she believed to be missing in her own artistic practice. She set up M&A as a non-profit, and

with the help of grants, the support of a dedicated team of volunteers, and the co-direction of fellow artist and frequent collaborator Oliver Hess from 2004-12, transformed her front yard into a pocket public park that hosts two large installations a year and numerous public programs, events and workshops and is open free of charge 24-7.

Now, ten years on, M&A has been embraced by the architectural community as a test-bed for developing ideas about materials and their applications.

Almost immediately after its inception, Marcelo Spina, founder and principal of PATTERNS, a Design Research Architectural Practice based in Los Angeles and Argentina, proposed a concept for the space. His installation Land.Tiles (20032004) was an articulated contoured topography – a micro-environment – made up of 140 concrete cast and textured blocks manufactured through a process of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling and vacuum-formed plastic.

Though formed from concrete, each tile had a surface pattern like wood grain

and a subtly different form, resembling rocks in a stream. Spina developed the work with students from his Land.Cro.Sy.Rials seminar class at SCI-ARC, incorporating research and development of new highly integrated, environmentallysensitive, contour-responsive erosion control and landscape consolidation systems. The extended display period of the installation, and the continuous flow of water over the piece, mimicking heavy rainfall, enabled the architectural team to monitor structural, surface and vegetation conditions.

In late 2005, another transformation dazzled the neighborhood and significantly boosted M&A’s visibility in the national and international architectural world. Maximilian’s Schell by Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues was a gleaming canopy of over 500 tinted mylar scales arranged as a vortex evoking the mighty consuming force of a black hole. The designers’ goal was to create a work that combined architecture, sculpture and “made-to-order” product. To do this, they manipulated mylar, internally reinforced with bundled Nylon and Kevlar fibers, using a CNC cutting machine which sliced the sheets of amber mylar into components shaped like triangular scales that reflected light like stained glass. During the day as the sun passed overhead, the canopy cast colored fractal light patterns onto the ground, changing the space, color, and sound of the courtyard, and providing an environment for enhanced social interaction and contemplation.

This delicate yet tensile web was inspired by the Disney cult sci-fi film, The Black Hole, in which an evil tyrant, Dr. Reinhardt, played by Maximilian Schell wishes to harness the “power of the vortex” and possess “the great truth of the unknown!” The installation did indeed function as a vortex, drawing thousands of people into M&A’s courtyard. In fact, it received so much press attention, says Didier, “that we were worried that we might lose some of our street cred!”

For the tenth anniversary of M&A’s transformational space, the undulating metal installation Bloom, currently on view, is a perfect celebration of the organization’s mission. Designed by Dora Sung, Assistant Professor at the USC School of Architecture, “the piece really hit the sweet spot,” says Didier with great satisfaction. “It’s an intersection of high artistic achievement and rigorous research into materials, and it evokes a strong emotional response in viewers.”

Created by Sung in collaboration with Ingalill Wahlroos-Ritter and Matthew Melnyk, Bloom is particularly remarkable because it responds to its Web fabrik.la

environment. Made up of 414 stacked panels of a smart thermobimetal (a sheet metal that curls when heated), as the sun heats it up, its surface shades and ventilates specific areas of the shell and also transforms to permit light and air through. The continuous flexing of the panels with the rises and falls in temperature causes the sculpture to actually move without the use of a power source or any mechanical parts, an innovation that could have valuable, zero-energy applications in architecture, such as canopies that curl shut when the sun is directly overhead, or vents that open automatically to let out hot air in summer.

Each of the installations hosted by M&A in their pocket park has served to further research into architectural materials and their applications. They have also succeeded in drawing in the local community, as Didier had hoped. The artworks as well as the numerous open air discussions, workshops and performances hosted in the space have acted like magnets, attracting residents of Silver Lake (myself included) and beyond to the space to explore, learn, volunteer or simply lose themselves in the magical setting. The influx of visitors to the space also gives the local business community a boost. Lynette Carezo, manager of the clothing boutique Grace Ellay two doors down enthuses, “Everyone around here loves M&A. What they do is really cool. They bring a lot of new people to the neighborhood and that helps us too.”

So what will the next ten years have in store for Materials & Applications?

Didier and her team will continue to transform their Silver Lake front yard, but they are expanding their mission to include other parts of Los Angeles. In a project called the Urban Acupuncture Initiative (UAI), M&A will work with members of different communities throughout the city to identify interstitial blighted spaces in their neighborhoods and transform them into healthy spaces that are rich both artistically and spiritually. Because they will be motivated by the communities themselves, “these transformations will be from the inside out,” Didier explains.

These will surely be spaces worth watching closely in the years to come.

COMING OUT: Donnie Molls, “Disposable Culture,” and Scott McMillin, “New Works” (June 23-August 25) Cleverly complementing each other, Donnie Molls’ and Scott McMillin’s exhibitions both focused on the quintessentially American – and Angeleno – image and culture of the automobile. Needing to say something new about this familiar subject of social and artistic discourse, both rose to the occasion. Indeed, both were able to claim it as their own. Molls is concerned with the image and presence of the car in the quotidian landscape – although what he infers is that the car creates its own landscape, determines its own space through its ubiquity in our lives, and that “car space” ultimately takes the form of junkyards, not freeways. Molls in fact considers auto-culture from the vantage point of its physicality, painting with garish, car-customizing colors on steel or even on pistons (individually and in groups). His images are pulled from the urban landscape, but isolate the heaps of discarded autobodies and tires from their common spaces, rendering them instead like Pop icons against the flat brilliance of the colors they used to bear. (The images seem to originate in photographs but are hand-painted.) Apotheosized as such, these mounds of metal and ersatz rubber take on a tragic monumentality; you almost imagine the rusting hulks carcasses in some sort of mass slaughter. Molls furthers the poignant poetry of his imagery by rendering some of the piles from closer range – finding an accidental architecture in the stacking – and others from a great distance, whereby they become veritable mountains. For his part, McMillin transforms the very substance of cars, fabricating intricately layered abstractions from salvaged autobody parts. The parts display evidence of use and degradation, but these panel and bumper segments have been set into one another with a care bordering on elegance, resulting in geometric compositions flavored, you might say, with age. In this retro fashion McMillin harks back to the work of proto-Pop assemblagists such as John Chamberlain and (early) Ed Kienholz, making subtle commentary about the carishness of contemporary society while playing along with its pretense at order. Then again, McMillin is truly sensitive to the sabe no wabe of modern junk.

GOING IN: Penelope Gottlieb, “Gone,” Ruth Pastine, “Counterpoint,” through Oct. 27 In their extravagance, of both form and detail, Penelope Gottlieb’s paintings and drawings of flowers clearly point at something beyond the mere decorative presence of colorful flora. The blooms burgeon into and among one another with a fury that bespeaks at once staggering vitality and gripping urgency.

Gottlieb draws and paints with thoroughgoing grace and precision, but her flat, eye-popping color moves her pictures well beyond hothouse refinement and into the realm of poster-bold politics. In fact, with these harshly gorgeous images Gottlieb bemoans and protests the extinction of many of the very flowers she portrays. By extension, then, these pictures add to the ecological clarion call, and their shrillness would seem to borrow from the general tenor of the environmental movement. But in this context such a voice drives home its message with noisy beauty, as if nature itself were crying out for help. The exhibition features works from two series, “Extinct Botanicals” and “Invasive Species.” As its name implies, the former group comprises depictions of floral species that have disappeared; Gottlieb is in effect painting their ghosts. The other series portrays the “bad guys,” flowers introduced into foreign climes where they have driven out native variants, many of whom now number among the extinct. But by rendering these plants

in such an over-the-top, decoration-conscious manner – at the same time referencing traditional visual practice in botany (such as Audobon’s) – Gottlieb reminds us that these plants do not wage war on one another, but that their victimization and their transgressions are our fault. On beyond this war of the flowers, Ruth Pastine’s ethereal pastels propose transcendence through pure color. Already well known for her nearmonochrome paintings, Pastine finds a different optical space in her works on paper – not only because these are too small to occupy the viewer’s entire optical field (and must thus operate like pages, miniature portals into universes of color) but because their dry, smoothly powdery hues have a different presence than do her painted surfaces. In effect, they feel different to the eye, more tactile and even sensual. This allows Pastine a sweeter, and perhaps fleshier, palette. However, she resists the temptation to “go pretty”; these intimate visual spaces still pull us toward purity.

ART ABOUT TOWN WITH PETER FRANK

Peter Frank’s

MUSEUM VIEWS PASADENA MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA ART Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey THROUGH OCTOBER 14 The early history of art in the American west was determined at least as much by visitors as by residents. At a certain point, however, the former became the latter. Edgar Payne began his career in Chicago, but made his career with views of California and the Southwest. Ultimately, he moved here. Ironically, though, once Payne relocated to the Pacific coast, he became as much a master of European as of American scenes.

His identification with his newfound home, finally, was stylistic even more than it was subjective: Payne is now recognized as one of the region’s premier plein air painters, whether he was painting in the plein air of Laguna Beach, Canyon de Chelly, or Brittany. Indeed, his approach helped define painterly practice among southern California plein-airistes: an emphasis on light but not necessarily on color, sharply defined forms not reliant on line, and a rich but restrained painterliness that (especially in his later work) indulges a subtle tendency to abstraction without undermining a naturalistic faithfulness to the observed. The picture remains paramount in such work, and Payne clearly conceived of painting as a process of picture-making, if not merely of illustrating. He was a master of detail, in part because he was not prisoner to it: the overall picture, whether of a mountain or of boats, trees or figures in a landscape, was the important thing, and he often talked about a “unspeakable sublime” that could only be captured visually. A comprehensive retrospective of Payne’s work, “The Scenic Journey” concentrates on his painting and, perforce, on his pictoriality. The fact that he dated rather few of his works makes it hard to hang the show in lockstep chronology – although his later style, with its short, post-pointillist brushstrokes, is easily distinguished – so the show has been hung with an emphasis on subject matter, i.e., location. The European paintings, Alps and Venice Lagoon and all that, are in the back room, for instance, while the Southwest paintings, with their buttes towering above mounted Navajos, are midway through the main hall. In this regard, however, the most fascinating moment in the show may be where two canvases of equal size and composition but very different geography, Le Grand Piz Blanc and Les Haut Sierra hang side by side. Shown thus in the 1923 Paris Salon, their pairing attests to Payne’s powers of observation and depiction: they are the same painting, conceptually and structurally, but, sensitive to atmosphere and detail, they are anything but the same picture.

LAGUNA ART MUSEUM Clarence Hinkle and “Modern Spirit and the Group of Eight” THROUGH OCTOBER 7 If Edgar Payne translated naturalism, impressionism, and other mid-19th-century European approaches to the seen world into a peculiarly American – especially western American – idiom, his fellow California landscapist Clarence Hinkle would do much the same with post-impressionism, fauvism, and other turn-of-the-century styles about a generation later. To be sure, as this retrospective demonstrates, Hinkle started at the beginning of the 20th century with a restrained tonalism derived from Barbizon and the Dutch Hague School, stylistic models going back well into the 19th. But somewhere along the line, Hinkle clearly caught wind of van Gogh, Cézanne and Matisse, because from the 1910s on, his oeuvre is propelled by a rich painterliness, a freedom with (although not dependence on) color, and an ability almost to extract a landscape magically from a welter of strokes, almost as if he were drawing with his brush. Hinkle’s

most exciting paintings make manifest this tendency to tilt towards and then away from abstraction, and one rather regrets the more conventional efforts – trained on figures and especially still lifes – that he produced concurrently. There are other large figure paintings, including of his wife and various friends and colleagues, however, whose vivacious treatment not only connects to the landscapes but shows Hinkle trying out radical pictorial methods. Still, Hinkle let himself go, and, resultantly, developed his most distinctive approach in those landscapes. Hinkle, like Payne, spent considerable time in Laguna; he wound up in Santa Barbara, but while in Orange County, he was a central figure in the Group of Eight, the locus of “soft modernism” in 1920s southern California. (“Hard modernism” was maintained at the time, almost on his own, by Stanton Macdonald-Wright.) A supplementary show to the Hinkle retrospective surveys the Group of Eight in a single gallery, providing a glimpse into their artistic strengths (considerable), understanding of modernist thought (limited), and selfdeclared commitment to the “modern spirit” (quaint). Mabel Alvarez’s flat, DecoGauguin method and the luminous quasi-cubism of Edouard Antonin Vysekal (who owed an obvious debt to Macdonald-Wright) are the most intriguing of the bunch, because they were the most up-to-date. The others — Henry de Kruif, Donna Schuster,

Luvena Buchanan Vysekal, John Hubbard Rich, E. Roscoe Shrader, and Hinkle himself — practiced various fin-de-siècle European tendencies a generation late. To be fair, such slippage in hipness characterized California modernism until the 1940s; moreover, the Eight were, to a man or woman, good at what they did.
