Boats Against the Current
Eastside International is pleased to present artists, Dan Regenstreif Axe, McLean Fahnestock, Nicholas Johnston, William Lamson, Barry Markowitz and Ben White in a group exhibition conceptually grounded in the nature of voyages.These voyages range, some in a literal sense of leaving one’s home to pursue the unknown, others a more philosophical voyage- trying to expand mental horizons and going beyond what is comfortable.
Often living on the thrill of pursuit versus the end destination, these artists take this mental space and apply to their art practice.Some of the artists have heavy-research backgrounds, rooted into figureheads who have pushed through opposition, logic, physical limitations and even have endangered others around them to fulfill theses treks. Others have embodied this siren-song within their own practice- physically and mentally pushing themselves into the abyss.The nature of exploration is manifested in a variety of ways- sculptures, paintings, video performance and installation will be on display.
Artist and Co-Director of Eastside International, Molly Jo Shea, brings these artists from different continents of thought to present artwork that grapples with the conceptual and physical sense of venturing into the unknown often towards seemingly trivial pursuits. Boutez en avant. Manifest Destiny. Boats Against the Current.

DUTCH DOOR
Dutch Door was an alternative art space inside of the Downtown Los Angeles' RAID Projects.
It hosted a number of experimental art shows and events.
OUR LAST EVENT WAS:
Join us at Dutch Door within RAID Project for an evening of performance art with artists Karen Adelman Tracy Abbott Szatan and Carrie Mcilwain.
Performance One: "Se Va":Karen Adelman is an artist and vocalist based in Los Angeles. In 2012, USC granted her an MFA degree, which she left New York to get. She was born in New York. She apologizes, but right now she is very busy volunteering with her local animal rescue. In this performance, she will show slides from a recent trip to Colombia, and attempt to lead the audience in a call and response translated from music created on its Caribbean coast.
Performance Two: "Ritual Cleanse: Milk Bath" is part of a video and performance series in which the artist engages a variety of ritual purification practices. These studies reckon with the desire for a complete renovation and an aesthetic of failure that surfaces from an inevitable and often untranslatable shortcoming. The works in this series explore the physical, spiritual, and emotional desires for and ramifications of the obsession to constantly recreate.
Tracy Abbott Szatan is a multimedia artist and writer currently based in Los Angeles. Her work considers questions of visibility and communicability, and the narratives that groups and individuals create to construct themselves and their worlds. She earned her B.A. in Modern Culture & Media from Brown University and moved to Los Angeles because she hates the sun.
Performance Three: "You Cant Deconstruct a Dance Party"
Carrie Mcilwain will create an audience participatory performance examining the themes: The Chase, Forced Intimacy and Dancing, in an attempt to kick off the Dutch Door after dance party. Expect Sweat and a hot mess.
Finished in LA Show
|
Finished in L.A. featured a variety of perspectives dealing with the apocalypse in Los Angeles. Showcasing paintings, drawings, sculptures, video and performance art; this is a swan song for our existence. In addition to being the end of the world, it is also the end of the Countdown Series at Dutch Door. After 9 weeks in a row of performance art every Sunday with 10 different artists and a bevy of approaches, this was an experiment about community, coping and consistency. Objects from the series, as well as video and additional works about our demise were presented at Raid Projects. |
