Siege, Opening Reception

By mayumi | Published: March 4, 2010

Title: Siege, Opening Reception
Location: Kala Gallery

Date: 2010-03-18, thursday
Start Time: 6 pm
End Time: 8 pm

Description:
Siege reconsiders the proverbial expression  “a man’s home is his castle” with this group photography exhibition presented at the Kala Gallery. The phrase initially referenced the principle of individual privacy that is fundamental to the American system of government, yet it seems to have expanded to define a nation of citizens inhabiting their own private fortresses. Siege explores suburban tract developments, whimsical 1930’s fantasy castles, the contemporary ghost town, and stately homes under siege by the ravages of nature, time, neglect and decay.

Curated by Lauren Davies, Siege includes artists Nell Dickerson (Santa Fe), Eirik Johnson (Boston), Ali Richards (London), Alice Shaw (San Francisco) and collaborators Luther Thie/Kathrine Worel (Oakland).

Exhibitions are free and open to the public. Tours of the Kala studio, gallery and print and media study center are available by appointment.

The artists/scholars of the Arts and Humanities Academy will present work from this year’s AIS residencies that investigates immigrant voices, HIV prevention, First Amendment rights in relation to artists, and ways of mapping our local communities. The exhibition will also feature a sampling of the outstanding artwork that our students make year round. The AHA community, in partnership with Kala, is dedicated to bridging academics and the arts: together we help our students to become scholarly in their art and artistic in their scholarship. We at AHA and Kala celebrate these emerging artist-scholars with Hear Us, See Us: Visions Across Curriculum.

Rijksakademie Residency 2011

By Kala | Published: January 6, 2010

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming selection procedure for new artists for the Rijksakademie residency 2011. The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam is – as you probably know – an international research and production for talented emerging professional artists from all continents. Fifty resident artists work for two years on research and production, aimed at deepening and expanding their artistic practice. Advice by international professionals, and facilities such as extensive technical workshops, a library and an art collection make the Rijksakademie a unique combination of an artist residency and a research centre.

I would very much appreciate it if you would bring the call for entries to the attention of talented artists who, in your opinion, might benefit from the possibilities the Rijksakademie residency offers. A period at the Rijksakademie proves to have the most effect on an artist’s career, three to five years of professional experience before applying.

The call for entries (see below/attachment) can be forwarded.

Application is only possible through our online application form available from www.rijksakademie.nl. The deadline for applications for the January – December 2011 residency is 1 February 2010.

Thank you very much for your interest and cooperation.

kind regards,

Sascha Roosdorp
Applications & Admissions coordinator

kudos

By Kala | Published: December 9, 2009

Using various documentation strategies, my work examines issues of identity and social representation by focusing the lens on myself and my community.  I explore the connections between constructed space and constructed subjectivity through sculpture, photography, video and projection.  The spaces I create – queer, safe, architectural, and emotional – form a critically reconstructed mirror of reality, an alternative environment in which all forms of intimacy are allowed to be visible. I use social and visual material of my own life to represent spaces of transformative potential and desire.
