Get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-confluence-of-witches-panel-discussion-booksigning-tickets-991320485257?aff=oddtdtcreator

About this event

Please join us for a special panel discussion with leading members of the modern witchcraft movement including Casey Zabala, Sanyu Estelle, Angela Mary Magick, and Edgar Fabian Frias, moderated by Jessica Hundley of the Library of Esoterica, followed by a signing of the new book A Confluence of Witches. Featuring voices from the contemporary witchcraft community, A Confluence of Witches is an invitation to explore the authentic intersections of magic, spirituality, personal development, and social justice.

A Confluence of Witches aims to highlight how witchcraft has always been a diverse, constantly evolving, culturally specific practice with many lineages and rich traditions. It features essays, spells, and reflections from witches, traditional healers, herbalists, and artists on themes of magical activism, animism, and merging ancient practices with modern technologies, among other mystical subjects. The diverse representation of contributors will honor and celebrate the multicultural and multivalent ways that the witch operates within our society.

With an increased interest in and practice of witchcraft comes a greater need for authentic sources of wisdom that are culturally relevant and sensitive to the many lineages and traditions of witchcraft, healing work, and magic. A Confluence of Witches provides insights and perspectives from a diverse range of people who in one form or another identify as a “witch.” The anthology’s contributors are diverse, representing the African diaspora, Indigenous, Latine, and Romani traditions, as well as voices from the LGBTQ witch community—each with their own sacred blend of spirituality to share. These voices come together to illuminate the multitude of ways one can practice.

Contributors to this anthology include: adrienne maree brown, Aja Daashuur, Alejandra Luisa León, Amanda Yates Garcia, Angela Mary Magick, Ariella Daly, Aurora Luna (aka)Baby Reckless, Damiana Calvario, Dori Midnight, Edgar Fabián Frías, Eliza Swann, Jessie Susannah Karnatz, Jezmina Von Thiele, Kiki Robinson, Kimberly Rodriguez, Liz Migliorelli, Madre Jaguar, Maria Minnis, Olivia Ephraim Pepper, Rachel Howe, Sanyu Estelle, Star Feliz

VESSEL Activation Celebration at Grand Park!

VESSEL Activation Celebration at Grand Park!

RSVP Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vessel-activation-celebration-at-grand-park-tickets-1001610452827?aff=oddtdtcreator

Join us in Downtown Los Angeles for the grand opening of VESSEL, an Indigenous futurist UFO sculpture by Edgar Fabián Frías.

Earlier this year, Edgar was selected as one of 135 artists from around the world to have their work etched onto a nickel disk and transported to the moon aboard the Oddysseus Lander spacecraft as part of the Arch Lunar Art Archive. This humbling experience led Edgar to contemplate mortality and the deep human desire to transcend time and space through our art, stories, and culture.

VESSEL emerged from these reflections, drawing inspiration from the Wixárika origin story of Takutsi Nakawé, who created a canoe to save life on earth during a great flood. The artwork not only honors Indigenous stories but also weaves them into contemporary explorations of themes projected onto UFOs—vessels that embody our collective hopes, fears, and desires.

By exploring the potential we project onto these entities—whether as saviors or harbingers of destruction—VESSEL delves into themes of decay, hope, and storytelling, inviting reflection on both Indigenous and contemporary cosmologies, deities, flora, fauna, crystals, ancestors, and those who defy categorization.

Standing as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of life, VESSEL draws from the deep cultural roots of the Wixárika people and projects these lessons into a modern, universally recognizable form. Its presence in Gloria Molina Grand Park, on the site of the Indigenous village of Yaangna, connects past and present, honoring the diverse communities that now call Los Angeles home.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, we invite you to join us for a communal activation of the artwork. Together, we will activate a crystal within VESSEL with our collective intentions, sending this energy out from Gloria Molina Grand Park into the world, the universe, and beyond. If you feel called, please bring a small object or a written intention that represents your hopes and dreams.

Light refreshments will be provided, and everyone is welcome to join in this celebration.

Date: Sunday, September 8
Time: 5:00 PM PST - 7:30 PM PST
Location: Gloria Molina Grand Park, Downtown Los Angeles
200 North Grand Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90012

VESSEL will be on view at Gloria Molina Grand Park from September 4 - September 29.

Edgar Fabián Frías is a member of the PAiD Artist Council, a program by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture, funded by the Mellon Foundation, with support from Dyson & Womack. Special thanks to Nick Rodrigues for fabrication support and Emily Womack for project management.

I’m overjoyed to share that I’m going to be performing not just once but TWICE next month as a part of @welcometolace’s ABUNDANCE at @ladanceproject!

I’m preparing a brand new solo performance piece for Wednesday 3/24 that’s inspired by my obsession with hard house and electronic as a young teen growing up in the 90s and early 2000s.

AND, my band @gay.cay is performing on Thursday 4/25 for the first time live since 2019! Come see @th4ddeus and I share our QUEER MUTANT MAGIC!

“ABUNDANCE” presents cutting edge performance art and interdisciplinary work by artists whose lived experiences as non-traditional or fat bodies challenge intersectional forms of oppression.

Wallace Masuko @wallacemasuko

Join us on Saturday, March 30 from 6-9pm for the opening reception.

Address: 1601 W Mountain St, Glendale,
CA 91201

SUMMERTIME considers the landscape as the consequence of human production, the result of the transformation from its natural state. The topography has long been divided, fragmented, and modified according to social, economic, and aesthetic motivations.

The fifteen artists in the exhibition present works with various materials and develop strange configurations, creating relationships between their works and the gallery space. SUMMERTIME forges a path that seeks to investigate the reality and possibilities of representation, using fiction as a way to imagine alternative landscapes.

SUMMERTIME is a collaboration between
SUPERCOLLIDER, the Brand Library and Art Center, and Glendale Unified School District.

Students from Glendale Unified School District contribute works inspired by the curatorial concept of SUMMERTIME and are exhibited in conversation with SUPERCOLLIDER’s exhibition.

Junk Drawer at The Oculus in New York City with Superchief Gallery

Junk Drawer at The Oculus in New York City with Superchief Gallery

"Junk Drawer” leans into a unique realm of overstimulation only possible through the medium of collage. Collages reorganize the visual imagery of the world around us, which in the Modern Era, overflowing with visual stimulation, leaves a lot for the artists to sort through. These visually crowded works are a symptom of our chaotic world, a chaos which each artist reorganizes through their own collage process and stylistic preferences.

About the exhibition:

Edgar Fabián Frías' Solo Exhibition "The Museum Of Multidimensional Mutant Maps"

"The Museum of Multidimensional Mutant Maps," a solo exhibition featuring bold new works by interdisciplinary artist Edgar Fabián Frías. On view from January 13 through February 24, 2023, this exhibition transforms the gallery into an immersive museum experience reexamining maps through the lens of imagination, reflection, and reinvention.

Inspired by the Nierika, a Wixárika technology, Frías has created interactive installations, paintings, sculptures, prints, and videos to help guide, confuse, and connect with visitors to this museum. These new artworks are arranged throughout the thematic wings of the museum, each exploring different facets of maps.

By interweaving indigenous, psychedelic, punk, and futurist influences, Frías has constructed a museum at once critical, visionary, and whimsical. Their mutant maps capture traces of haunted pasts, possible presents, and emergent futures - if we dare to reorient our perspectives. Ultimately, this exhibition serves as a testament to the transformative power of indigenous technologies and art practices to prompt reflection, spark imagination, and manifest reinvention.

Come get lost and found again in the prismatic journey of Edgar Fabián Frías' Museum of Multidimensional Mutant Maps.

Throwing Digital Bricks: Queer Acts of Protest

Throwing Digital Bricks: Queer Acts of Protest

Pavilion Exhibition for the 6th edition of the @thewrong.biennale is now officially open!

Click here to see it: https://newart.city/show/throwingdigitalbricks

This exhibition results from an open call for queer artists online to share their work during Pride Month 2023.

As a digital artist and queer activist, I asked myself how I could utilize the tools at my access to build a bridge between the virtual and the physical planes. Guerrilla projecting these works in public spaces channels the potentiality of that moment when the first brick was thrown. A visual detonation in the public sphere, ensuring that the spirit of that act of defiance, that bold declaration of existence and resistance, remains alive.

Think of these works as a fierce declaration, a celebration, and a testament to the resiliency and multiplicity of queer art and activism.

Mighty Real: A Queer/Tech Podcast

Get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mighty-real-a-queertech-podcast-tickets-703795119147

Mighty Real is an eight-episode podcast that explores the history and influence of queer technology, as well as the myriad of ways queer artists collaborate with emerging technologies pre- and post-internet. On Friday, October 27th podcast host, Jamison Edgar will moderate a live talkback with Los Angeles-based contributors at Honor Fraser Gallery. The hour-long discussion will introduce the podcast’s guiding themes, and examine how art, science, and technology shape queer history.

Released weekly during the month of October, each episode will explore a central topic and feature a patchwork of historical wormholes (in-depth examinations of touchstones in the history of queer technology), artist interviews, and round table discussions. Together the eight episodes assert that queer knowledge not only informs the affordances of the technologies we know and use today but has itself become a form of technology that queer people wield to build solidarity and resist socio-political suppression online and AFK (away from keyboard).

Episodes are released on Fridays and can be found at https://queertechpodcast.buzzsprout.com/

This first live event will feature Edgar Fabián Frías, Olivia Pease, Sammie Veeler, and Jamison Edgar.

LIFELIKE at Cal Poly Art Gallery

to Dec 9

LIFELIKE at Cal Poly Art Gallery

Curated by Katie Peyton Hofstadter

San Luis Obispo, CA · LIFELIKE, a group exhibition curated by writer, curator and artist Katie Peyton Hofstadter, explores the work of ten artists logging biological, genetic, and behavioral information on a digital ledger, to invoke a conversation about body sovereignty in our technopresent. The exhibition also features an interactive and VR experience, presented by EPOCH, and a performance schedule spanning the Cal Poly University gallery, the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) and the Center for Experiential Technology (CET).

Technology is moving into our bodies, and our bodies are moving into technology. The stakes are high: Will we double our health spans or create a techno-dystopian Gilead? 

The artists in this exhibition are interested in what it will mean, and how it will feel, to have a body in a future where wetware (living tissue) serves as a foundation for technology, where medical implants monitor not only our hearts and minds, but also our experiences and relationships; and where decisions are made by programs even their creators do not fully understand. 

Today, phones harvest information about our bodies and behaviors by default. How does it feel to seek digital connection when our every swipe, movement, and private message is under surveillance

The artists in LIFELIKE use their own bodies to stress-test the present and near-future, probing how information flows between our biological and virtual identities, and expanding our vocabulary through imaginative scenarios. By bringing a creative lens to the conversation,  these ten artists invite the possibility that the lab rats might now take back control. 

This exhibition expands the ideas put forth in Hofstadter’s text, Bodies on the Blockchain (2022).

More Than Meets AI Exhibition at UC Berkeley
Oct
2
to Oct 14

More Than Meets AI Exhibition at UC Berkeley

More than Meets AI conducts an artistic investigation of artificial intelligence and its role in creativity, narrative and artistic innovation. We do so from a critically engaged perspective, one that both engages with the new creative potentialities of AI for the arts and literature, while also considering some of the significant challenges AI poses for our culture and society, and the place of contemporary AI art in relation to historical work in electronic literature. In addition to the digital art exhibition at UC Berkeley's Worth Ryder Gallery, there will be an infrastructure tour exploring AI's and digital technologies' physical infrastructures and environmental impacts in the Bay Area.

Curated by Jill Miller, Eamon O'Kane, and Scott Rettberg, this exhibition emerges from a Peder Sather Center for Advanced Study research project titled “Transformation and Disruption: The Challenges and Opportunities of AI for Human Creativity.” The project is focused on the aesthetic and cultural impacts of AI, and will result both in art exhibitions and research cooperation between the University of Bergen’s Center for Digital Narrative and UC Berkeley.

In 2024, an expanded version of the exhibition will be produced in Bergen with new inputs from Norwegian writers and artists. CDN and UiB will organize a research symposium on the narrative and artistic constraints and affordances of AI and produce a catalog and critical reflection on the project and its themes.

Artists in the exhibition:
Mez Breeze, Edgar Fabian Frias, Micol Hebron, Carl Hugo Hernqvist, David Jhave Johnston, Asma Kazmi, Alison Knowles, Alinta Krauth, Koirus (Linda Kronman and Andreas Zingerle), Patrick Lichty, Theo Lutz, Talan Memmott, Avital Meshi, Jill Miller, Nick Montfort, Jason Nelson, Eamon O'Kane, Mario de la Ossa, Sonja Rappaport, Scott Rettberg, Mario Santamaria, Alex Saum, Sasha Stiles, and Victor H. Yngve

Previously in 2019 O'Kane, Rettberg, and Greg Niemeyer co-curated a show at UC Berkeley's Worth Ryder gallery titled "Hyperobjects," which focused on digital art practices addressing climate change.

Exhibition dates: October 2nd - 14th, 2023

Worth Ryder Art Gallery, Anthropology and Art Practice Building (AAPB), near the intersection of College Avenue and Bancroft Way

Hours: 12-5 pm: Mon, Tues, Thur, Friday 1-7pm: Wednesday 12pm-3pm: Saturday 12-3pm

The Grammar of Animacy SUPERCOLLIDER X Idyllwild Arts

The Grammar of Animacy SUPERCOLLIDER X Idyllwild Arts

- Edgar Fabián Frías

- Gerald Clarke

- Moara Tupinambá

- Noara Quintana

- Óldo Erréve

- Tiare Ribeaux

- Qianqian Ye

**SUPERCOLLIDER** and **Idyllwild Arts Academy** are delighted to present the collaborative exhibition titled **"The Grammar of Animacy."** Indigenous worldviews have always been rooted in notions of interconnectedness and the recognition of the elements of the land, such as stones and mountains, as ancestors possessing intelligence and wisdom. In her book, "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants," Robin Wall Kimmerer, a mother, scientist, decorated professor, and enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, discusses the concept of the grammar of animacy:

"Plants and animals are animate, but as I learn, I am discovering that the Potawatomi understanding of what it means to be animate diverges from the list of attributes of living beings we all learned in Biology 101. In Potawatomi 101, rocks are animate, as are mountains and water and fire and places. Beings that are imbued with spirit, our sacred medicines, our songs, drums, and even stories, are all animate."

Kimmerer reflects on language as a realm for shaping imagination and possibility. She points out that the English language sets up divisions between humans and objects, which are then assigned gender or animacy. These divisions are often hierarchical.

What role does art play as a language, and how can it serve as an instrument to invoke alternative ways of being, thinking, and acting, ultimately leading to a reorientation in the relationships between species, people, and spirits? Can art and artists create a space to initiate conversations on the impulse of meaning and community?

**"The Grammar of Animacy"** brings together the work of eight artists who aim to challenge Western myths and cultivate visions that intertwine multiplicity in embodiment, queer mythologies, indigenous epistemologies, and ethical relationships with ecology and technology.

- Moara Tupinambá explores kinship relations with trees, plants, and animals in Tambaqui.

- Cahuilla artist Gerald Clarke's work, **Punu’ul**, makes visible the Yucca Whipplei, a plant of cultural significance to the Cahuilla people.

- Artists Tiare Ribeaux and Qianqian Ye merge magical realism with elements of Hawaiian and Mandarin cosmology in their project **Kai Hai**, examining social and environmental inequities.

- Artist Edgar Fabián Frias is interested in alchemizing relations between earth and humans. Their artwork, **'3 of Cups (Tatéi Neixa)**,' is an altar created with the intention of reaffirming and reestablishing ancestral pacts to bring sustaining rains and healing for the land and its inhabitants.

In addition to convening with more-than-human neighbors, works in the exhibition invite animism as a strategy for challenging colonialism, colonial narratives, and colonial sites of production. Artists Bomi Yook and Bobby Joe Smith III challenge settler cities as sites for utopic worldbuilding, instead highlighting the longstanding presence of indigeneity and speculating on how indigenous people live in futures designed by settler colonizers. The work proposes a vision in which sites of decay are spaces ripe for decolonization for indigenous communities. Noara Quintana is interested in the tangible qualities of everyday items, intersecting with the histories of the Global South to challenge colonial narratives.

In **Orvópera**, artist Óldo Erréve utilizes 3D design and AI-collaborative media to explore the intersection between organic forms and innovative technological tools, projecting physical and virtual bodily expressions. **ORVÓPERA** brings ideas of animacy to the forefront of technological collaborations, prompting us to ask about the life and soul of the machines we work with and how these ideas apply to all bodies.

By proposing alternative notions of animacy, the works in this exhibition encourage us to consider life all around us. How are the machines we use, lands we inhabit, oceans of storms, and sea life also alive? If we can understand these entities as animated, as beings rather than objects or materials, we can engender respect within our relations to them and disassemble the barriers that separate us.

This exhibition is made possible with generous funding from the Native American Arts Center and Arts Enterprise Laboratory at Idyllwild Arts.

HITCH SWITCHERS vol.4 – SOUND ON🔊

HITCH SWITCHERS vol.4 – SOUND ON🔊

 HITCH SWITCHERS vol.4 – SOUND ON🔊at @niftygateway presented by @hitchswitchers

Open Editions Available: Sept 28, 6pm  – Sept 30, 6pm UTC

Artists: @GinoBattiston @lynalurex @kate_the_cursed_art @edgarfabianfrias @spogelsesmaskinen @aaasonipse @stellaparticula @lidiceonline PHOSPHOR*OPERATOR and Henrique Cartaxo

Curated by @ina.vare

'SOUND ON' revolves around the irony of our enduring love for audio-visual art forms, despite the fact that we often mute them. 

We've come a long way from opera performances and silent movies with unsynchronized musical accompaniment to the first sound films, broadcast TV, and early internet content, where nearly every webpage had some form of sound. But in the present moment, things have become more complicated. 

We've started muting our TVs and social networks, and we've gone even further. Now, we live in an age where we have to alert others that a particular piece of content, artwork, or anything else includes a listen worthy soundtrack, and it's recommended to unmute. Especially when we share audio-visuals on the internet – whether it's art or just a fleeting glimpse of everyday life. Are we becoming oversaturated, or are our expectations simply changing and evolving? With this collection, you're invited to leave the sound on for the entire show and find out the answers yourself.

WELL BORN

Acedia I & II // Sterling Hedges

Acedia describes “a state of listlessness or torpor, of not caring or not being concerned with one's position or condition in the world.” It can lead to a state of being unable to perform one's duties in life. Its spiritual overtones make it related to but arguably distinct from depression.

Vale e Harkut / The Bow Wake // Silvi Naçi

The Bow Wake is constructed as both a two-channel installation and as a feature length film to illustrate connections and tensions between two LGBTQIA+ communities in Albania: the Burrnesha and the Alliance Against Discrimination of LGBTQ., as well as a larger portrait of Albania and the cities and people Silvi Naçi worked with and visited.

Coyolxāuhqui/Cōātlīcue // Zen Cohen

From 2015-2019, Zen collaborated with performance artists who identify as gender-fluid, queer, two-spirit or as border crossers to create an eco-mythological, multi-channel video and sound installation. Each artist created visual performance personas based on the intersections of their own trans-cultural, political and spiritual identities.

Beauty Standards // Toni-Marie Gallardo, Rosalee Bernabe, Joi Purvy, Seo Yun Son

This high-camp horror anthology film explores the traumatic effects of eurocentric beauty standards on teenagers of color.

inside the spiral // Noah Gokul

Gokul connects their anxiety to spirals in nature, specifically the fern. While in Portland, NYC, and Berlin, they interacted with their environment by taking video and noticing anxiety showing up in each place, and used this footage to create this video piece. 

meaning escapes us but the river wont (a chiasmus) // Star Feliz

2018, single channel video.
