After almost two years apart, Art MFAs at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) present the postgraduate exhibition, re:connections, opening in Tin Flats Los Angeles. The show is peer-organized and curated by Audrey Min of the Koreatown, Los Angeles gallery, Commonwealth and Council.

About

re:connections features work by 17 artists, all graduates of the CalArts programs in Art, Art and Technology, and Photography and Media. Participating artists include: Kendra Le Bault de la MoriniereAmanda Bauer, Fía Benitez, Juan Herrera, Eleanor Francis, Jing DongAimée DopaBenjamin S. GordonDanielle TrentLois BielefeldRichard NamRuoyi ShiYaozhi LiuCaleb CraigDongpu LingSeongeun Kim, and Dana Carly Eitches.

Tin Flats will host several public programs for re:connections including on-site screenings of time-based works. The gallery, housed in the artist-run space in the Frogtown neighborhood of Los Angeles, was founded in 2017 by Stephen Neideich (MFA 13, Art). Programs will also take place on Zoom every weekend throughout the run of the show in August, including guest-moderated panels with the exhibiting artists. Moderators include CalArts faculty Ashley Hunt, and visiting faculty Kandis Williams and Zoe Strauss. 

The MFA cohort also produced a limited edition book which shares its name with the exhibition. The prompt to reflect on their artistic practice in the past two years—before and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic—elicited 19 responses from participants. Introduced by Tatum Howey (MFA 21, Writing), the artist book re:connections offers unique insights into process: from research materials and correspondence, to in-progress and finished works. The publication is made in collaboration with Courtney Loi (MA 21, Aesthetics and Politics) and CalArts Visiting Faculty Zoe Strauss, who crucially helped bring it to fruition. re:connections will be released in September and is available for sale.
