Meet our 2021 #losangeles Finalist!: Sichong Xie is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Her practice combines movement and material in body-based sculptural forms, including masks, costumes, and other objects. By placing traditional sculptural forms within new sites, materials, and social constructs, she investigates these forms and movements within global communities to reconsider and re-envision shared spaces and performative practices. Her most recent mul...ti-media multi-channel installation Do Donkeys Know Politics, Scaffold Series I is currently on view at USC Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, CA . . . . @sichongxie #losangeles #visualartist #interdisciplinary #artadia #finalist #artistgrant #artadiaawards See more

Meet our 2021 #losangeles Finalist!: Paul Mpagi Sepuya’s photography foregrounds an entangled relationship between artist, subject and viewer moving across traditional portraiture, staging, and abstraction. With a self-conscious play of presentation and concealing, his pictures complicate queer and Black subject positions within surface and reflection, the presence of lens and mirror, and in rendering visible touch and trace. Recent exhibitions include a solo at Vielmetter L...os Angeles, a survey of work at CAM St. Louis, and a project for the 2019 Whitney Biennial . . . . @pagmi #finalist #losangeles #artadia #artistgrant #photographer #visualart #losangelesartist See more

Meet our 2021 #losangeles Finalist!: Yoshie Sakai is a multidisciplinary artist, in her video work she creates characters that function as avatars responding to and negotiating contemporary social issues of cultural identity, gender roles, and familial and personal relationships. As a colorful and subtly transgressive undercover cultural agent, she exposes the absurdities of a manipulative social structure while at the same time humorously struggling and reveling in those str...uctures as a participant. Her work infiltrates the psychological space of the viewer, giving form to our vulnerability and evoking, sometimes, nervous laughter . . . . @yoshiesakaiart #losangeles #visualart #videoart #losangelesartist #artistgrant #artadia #finalist See more

Now on view until December 12! Artadia Awardee Travis Somerville (SF 2000) exhibition "ONE-TWO PUNCH," alongside artist Keris Salmon, at Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco. Travis Somerville takes on social injustice and the endemic political and educational structures in this country that have perpetuated oppression and racism for hundreds of years; his paintings are filled with powerful imagery that strive to expose the structures that seek to perpetuate the rampant and... systemic oppression.

Now on view until Feb 5, 2021! Artadia Awardee Beatriz Cortez (LA 2020) along with artist Kang Seung Lee’s exhibition, "Becoming Atmosphere," at 18th Street Arts Center (Airport Campus). Cortez and Seung Lee consider the atmosphere as the core of cosmic becoming, a living entity that surrounds everything we know; their latest exhibition focuses on aspects of disappearance, transformation, and becoming. Considering the final work of Gilles Deleuze, "Pure Immanence: Essays on... a Life", the artists imagine freeing the potentialities of a life from the constraints of identity.

We are pleased to share that Artadia Awardee Cauleen Smith (Chicago 2015) has been selected as the winner of the fifteenth annual Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize! The prize, established in 2006 by jazz impresario, musician, and philanthropist George Wein to honor his late wife Joyce Alexandra (1928-2005), honors the achievement of an African-American artist who demonstrates great innovation, promise, and creativity. Thelma Golden, the Studio Museum’s director and chief cura...tor, said of Smith in a statement, Although she has described her subjects as ‘the fragile, the forgotten, the flawed, and the fugitive,’ the effect of her work is overwhelmingly one of plenitude, rich in its exploration of human complexities.

Now on view until november 7! Artadia Awardee Hadi Fallahpisheh (NY 2019) exhibiting a special project, "BLOW-UPS," at Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York City; specifically conceived to open before the 2020 presidential election. Continuing an ongoing series, the large-scale photographs on the gallery walls play on the medium’s traditional role to reflect the society in which they were made. Rather than using photography as a direct document, Fallahpisheh creates unique works ...in the dark room by manipulating the surface of photosensitive paper with light to form cartoonish drawings that depict interactions between humans and animals.To learn more please visit http://www.andrewkreps.com/exhibitions/hadi-fallahpisheh . . . . @hadi_fallahpisheh @andrewkrepsgallery #galleryshow #contemporaryart #photography #artadia #artadiaawardee #hadifallahpisheh See more

Now on view until December 19! Artadia Awardee Theaster Gates (Chicago 2008) solo exhibition, "Black Vessel," At the Gagosian gallery in New York City.

Now on view! Artadia Awardee Suné Woods (LA 2020) in a group exhibition, "Ghosts from the Recent Past" at the Irish Museum Modern Art.

These works tell stories of colonisation and contested borders, of human relationships to ...the environment, of radical self-representation in the face of oppression and of love.
