P.O.S.T.

POST is a collective of artists who have come together to gain a greater perspective about their practice through dialogue with each other. The two chapters of POST are based in Los Angeles, CA and Olympia, WA and hope to break the barriers and limitations of working within a single city. From the Pacific Northwest to the Southern California Coast our dialogue can grow and shift in the wide expanse. Socially, politically and artistically, we mutually gain and contribute to each others practice.

POST//LA is made up of artists David M. La Jovel, Amanda Ribas, Ally Sachs, and Melissa Wilson

POST//OLY is made up of artists Gavin Lee Church, Blen Davidson, Jes Edmondson, Tyson Estes, Douglas Maloy, Elaine Starrett, Lindsay Tunkl, and Diana Valenzuela

Sea Change: Katie Shapiro & others

Sea Change’ is a group photography exhibition which examines our complicated relationship with animals and the environment in wake of the greatest environmental disaster in American history, the BP oil spill.

Featuring the work of 26 emerging and established photographers, most of whom are based in New York, the exhibition will be displayed on the beautifully decaying walls of seven rooms in the old Greek Revival Hotel section of Maxon Mills (the Old Hotel).

Highlights of the show include Nadya Wasylko’s image of sunbathers fighting for space along the bank of the polluted Dnipro River in Ukraine; Katie Shapiro’s ‘Malibu Sandbags’ series, which documents a last ditch attempt by residents to save their properties from rising sea levels; Katharyn Addcox’s photographs of women involved in sustainable farming; Kate Kunath’s documentation of beekeepers, signifying the rise of a more conscious ‘back to the land’ approach; and Mark Mahaney’s entrancing image of a mother and fawn frolicking on a manicured lawn.

Lexi Adams
Katharyn Addcox

CalArts encourages students to explore and recognize the complexity of the many aspects of the arts. It is supported by a distinguished faculty of practicing artists and provides its BFA and MFA students with the hands-on training and exposure necessary for an artist’s growth.

A message from FROM HERE TO THERE

On Saturday, June 6, From Here to There met and decided to put the collective on hold for a time to allow the members an opportunity to pursue other projects. We assembled a time capsule of photographs, postcards, and mementos which we then buried underground, to be unearthed at a future date.

Thank you to everyone who has followed our blog to this point, come to our shows, and supported us in so many ways. We can’t thank you enough. Please continue to check-in and stay tuned for information on upcoming projects from collective members.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions, comments, or opportunities that you think any of our members may be interested in.

Sincerely,
From Here to There
