Boundary Lines

Boundary Lines, performance by Leslie Dick
Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art
November 10, 12:30-2pm, CAA-211
FREE and open to the public

In 1994, Leslie Dick wrote a short text which explored the experience of being a mother as an experience of loss, describing a series of moments of separation from her daughter, then two years old. In 2008, Leslie Dick's daughter Audrey made a video in which she (aged sixteen) stood in front of a projection of an old home movie of herself aged eight. Taking this visual superimposition as her point of departure, and regarding the performance as a delayed and displaced collaboration, Leslie Dick will present further thoughts on identification and the image, memory and time.

Quinton Bemiller

The work of Quinton Bemiller, Adjunct Art Department Faculty, is included in the book, The Open Daybook by David P. Earle. This is a beautiful, 384-paged hardcover book with a single artist's work for each day of the year. These works were created by each artist on their specific day (Quinton's is September 23) and have been paired on facing pages in a very thoughtful way. It is being distributed by Random House and will soon appear at bookstores across the country. It is available for purchase on all the major book websites. There will be a Book Release Event at LACMA and one in New York and Chicago, plus an exhibition of the original artworks at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions).

Bemiller is also included in the upcoming exhibition, Spectrum at the Kellogg Gallery, Cal Poly Pomona University. The exhibition is curated by Shari Wasson and as the name implies, focuses on color.
