SUMMER 2017 EXHIBITIONS

OPENING RECEPTION: FRIDAY, JULY 7, 2017 | 5:30–7:30PM

Nell CampbellAbout Face

JULY 8–AUGUST 20, 2017

For over 40 years Nell Campbell has documented the people and places she encounters in the everyday, on her travels, and at the political gatherings she frequents. Consequently, she has assembled a significant archive of photographs, many of which are on view for the first time in About Face. This solo museum presentation, a first for the artist in California, will be focused on the individuals who caught her eye. As an inveterate observer, with an open, friendly nature, Campbell's photographic practice has always been rooted in people: their way of life, struggles, and merriment.

This museum presentation includes images from some of Campbell's well-known series including Cuba and New Orleans Mardi Gras. It also highlights early photographs of family, friends, and migrant workers from her time as a staff photographer with Cesar Chavez, hunters from Louisiana, and activists at the recent Women's March in Los Angeles. About Face is complemented by work by other photographers whose practices resonate with the artist's including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Walker Evans.

Nell Campbell: About Face is presented concurrently with another exhibition of her work at the Channing Peake Gallery.

This exhibition is made possible by the Joe Melchione Photography Acquisitions and Exhibitions Fund, Joan Davidson and John Schnittker and the WT Family Fund.

Body Matters Contemporary Art from the Collection

JULY 8–AUGUST 20, 2017

Drawn primarily from the AD&A Museum Collections, Body Matters: Contemporary Art from the Collection brings together a selection of works by artists who have mined their own bodies in order to express some aspect of what it is like to be a human organism. Ranging from activist to introspective, these pieces use autobiography to show the systems of the body as they come into contact with socio-political institutions such as religion, politics, medicine, and practices of making art. Featured artists Emily Baker, Mamie Holst, Ilene Segalove, Katherine Sherwood, Kiki Smith and Edition Reese, and David Wojnarowicz work in diverse media, including video, printmaking, collage, latex tubing, crinkled paper, and paint on canvas. Taken together, their endeavors provide a body-based view of human experience.

This exhibition has been generously funded by the Museum Council.

Clocks and Clouds The Architecture of Escher GuneWardena

JULY 8–AUGUST 20, 2017

The Art, Design, & Architecture Museum presents Clocks and Clouds: The Architecture of Escher GuneWardena, a mid-career survey of the firm founded in Los Angeles by Frank Escher and Ravi GuneWardena in 1997.

The exhibition highlights Escher GuneWardena’s generous and boundary-blurring engagement with art, craft, and architecture while presenting the full scope of their practice in thematic arrangement. Space for Living reflects the meticulous articulation of space and materials and respect for daily rituals in their residential designs. Relating to Art illustrates the sensitive collaborations with artists for which the firm is well known. Making of Place focuses on conceptually rigorous works for the commercial and public realm. Reading the Past shows Escher GuneWardena grappling with architecture’s history in robust and graceful ways. Landscapes of Reflection presents the firm’s planning projects for scholarly and spiritual communities. The title Clocks and Clouds comes from philosopher Karl Popper’s essay on rationality and freedom, but also describes the dreamy precision, the spirit, and the material of Escher GuneWardena’s art.

This exhibition is supported by the Museum Council and Edward Cella Art & Architecture.
