Artists explore the “in-between†in Caesura

Julia Schwartz, Untitled, 2011
The Annenberg Community Beach House for Caesura—a new exhibition curated by Maya Lujan and featuring the work of Doni Silver Simons, Julia Schwartz, Melinda Smith Altshuler, Aleve Loh and Om Navon Bleicher.

“A Caesura is a pause or gesture used to emphasize the formal metrical construction of a line†says curator Maya Lujan. “The artists’ works seriously deal with painterly and sculptural issues in the realm of Caesura, or the in-between something formal or structural.”

Doni Silver Simons is an international painter, installation and performance artist living and working in Los Angeles. Silver Simons accumulates ritualized markings and deconstructs fibers to record our existential paradox: the dissolution of time coinciding with the accretion of memory. More than three decades have passed since she executed a series of four performances entitled Caesura I, II, III and Caesura (a study). These works were presented in New York, in Detroit, in Los Angeles, and in Irvine. She is concurrently showing at the Loft at Liz’s, Los Angeles, and at the Columbia/Bernard Kraft Center, New York. She is represented locally by Shulamit Gallery in Venice.

Melinda Smith Altshuler is an artist works with conditions of translucency and light. Her work takes the form of installation, sculpture, print-making and photo-based projects; all using materials or subject matter that are translucent in reality or theory. Images or subjects such as clouds, melting ice, glaciers and fog reflect and filter the truth. The concept of translucency as a metaphor for truth is central to her work.

Julia Schwartz is a painter who lives and works in Santa Monica. She has had numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad, including the George Lawson Gallery, Marine Art Salon, Tracy Park Gallery, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, and Appels Gallery. Her work is deeply influenced by years of psychoanalytic study, and is included on 1000 Living Painters and featured in New American Paintings, 2011, Pacific Coast Edition.

Aleve Mei Loh is a painter, sculptor and filmmaker. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Aleve’s studio practice has been based in Los Angeles for almost a decade. In 2011, Aleve completed an Artist-In Residency at Yoshimoto Entertainment, USA in Santa Monica. She has exhibited internationally in both solo and group shows. Although Aleve’s work spans across a variety of media, she is best known for her crushed canvas wall reliefs. This body of work expresses an emergence of structure from a place where possibility and parameters have not been defined. www.alevemeiloh.com

Airom is an Australian bush-raised and educated artist currently living in Los Angeles. His projects are filled with conceptual designs juxtaposed with primal spontaneity. He has developed an art form that explores thought-emotional interaction, influenced by his psychology education and Expressionist and Surrealist art movements.

CAESURA will be on view through February 8, 2013. A program of Beach=Culture, this exhibition is part of an ongoing series of cultural programs at the Annenberg Community Beach House.

The reception is open to the public. Free admission, parking $4/per hour
