Upcoming Exhibitions
James Clar: Powers of Ten
Saturday, January 11–Sunday, March 30, 2025
Powers of Ten is the first U.S. solo museum exhibition by light and media artist James Clar. Also marking his Los Angeles debut, this mid-career retrospective, guest curated by Larissa Kolesnikova, brings together a selection of works from 2011 to 2024, highlighting Clar’s mastery of video and light systems to examine how technology informs our perception of the natural world. These explorations are grounded in Clar’s film background and his deep appreciation of the California Light and Space movement. The exhibition features works created during Clar’s time living in Dubai, New York, Tokyo, and his current residency in Manila, as well as work made in Los Angeles specifically for this exhibition.
Isabel Yellin: Mothership
Saturday, January 11–Sunday, March 30, 2025
Over the last decade, Isabel Yellin has earned a reputation for fabric sculptures sewn into serpentine shapes suggestive of the body. The works in Mothership, her debut solo museum exhibition, mark a material turn in her practice, presenting restless silicone paintings and metal-and-silicone sculptures that oscillate between divergent tendencies: hard and soft, tight and loose, wall and floor, freedom and containment. Rooted in the language of abstraction, these works continue to summon the corporeal, but also expand to suggest the ethereal, creating a visual language for Yellin’s investigation into the psyche.
