Sociality.

About

Art by Michael Green, Robby Herbst, Michele Jaquis, Vincent Ramos, Michael Shaw, Laurie Steelink, and Keith Walsh.

Sociality unites seven Los Angeles artists who dynamically engage ideas and systems of association, self-representation, grass roots political organization, and humanism with communities within and beyond the art world. 

Our work is founded on the principles that artists who make art are shaped by their social environs, whether experienced or mediated. We are responsive and committed to an art that attends to social issues as forms of commentary, consciousness, self-determination, resistance, and constructing potential solutions to the challenges of forging communities within the atomistic realm and tropes of the capitalist art world and society.  

The gallery is a temporary political center and social space that allows us see the world anew, to recognize the art exhibition as a hub and generator for making connections beyond its doors.   We avoid dry analyses and hypotheses by utilizing dynamic means to engage objective subjects and subjectivities. Sociality presents our agency for personal, cultural, political emancipation and community building.
