In the 18th Street Gallery, Dorit Cypis will have an opening reception for her project, FabLab (looking for patterns): towards and economy of inner and inter action
Cypis’ project, FabLab (looking for patterns), is a 3-month art laboratory of discovery and experimentation that will consist of research, performative events and interactive workshops to actively explore new participatory and collective models of engagement. This project will be an investigation of her 30 years of work, which integrates meditation and aesthetics to build engagement among individuals and groups with different cultural and personal values. Cypis plans to make visible overlapping aesthetic, conceptual, somatic, and social patterns as gestures, movements, texts and ellipses that may provide the public with tools and models for reflection and social engagement. Cypis will also host a variety of forums among centralized artists to produce a large dialogue for a local Los Angeles public about social engagement.
In the Project Room, Elena Siff will have an opening reception for her project, Making Change.
Visual Artist Elena Siff will address how the Internet plays a major role in this new artistic economy by setting up an actual and virtual marketplace that will allow participating artists an opportunity to sell their creations in person and online. For three months, the Project Room will be transformed into an enlightened and socially conscious marketplace flourishing with novel artists from all over Los Angeles who have come to showcase their designs or utilize the space to work on new creations.
