Beyond Limits: Postglobal Mediations
Opening Reception SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 2014 6 – 8pm

The San Diego Art Institute (SDAI) is pleased to present “Beyond Limits: Postglobal Mediations” opening at our gallery space in Balboa Park. This exhibition will explore the boundless confluence between art, life, and technology in a post-global society.

Curated by SDAI Executive Director Ginger Shulick Porcella and Brazilian curator Denise Carvalho, this exhibition will demonstrate that the future of the arts lies on a borderless, multidimensional circuit of experimentation. Featuring both local and international artists, “Beyond Limits” will bypass all borders that create hierarchies or limit the exchange of ideas. The exhibition will run through November 15, 2014 and will feature a series of lectures, performances, and video screenings.

“Beyond Limits” is an exhibition in which artists have envisioned a world without boundaries—whether physical, racial, technological, or psychological. “Beyond Limits” will bypass all national representations and increase the focus on a multinational, multicultural, multi-identity, multimedia, and multi-language based society. This exhibition is held in tandem with the international Mediational Biennale, occurring in parallel exhibitions in distinct international venues and museums including the Mediations Biennale in Poznan, Poland; Museo de la Ciudad, Uruguay; Petah Tikva Museum in Israel; MareArticum—Baltic Contemporary Art Biennale, Nakanajo Biennale, Japan; and the Kunsthall Faust in Hanover, Germany.

Participating Artists: Bank og Rau, Hector Canonge, Anibal Catalan, Charlie Citron, Cesar Cornejo, Einar & Jamex de la Torre, Blane de St. Croix, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Ira Eduardovna, Glenda & Jesse Drew, Angela Freiberger, Marlon Griffith, Pablo Helguera, Debby & Larry Kline, Arun Kumar, JaeWook Lee, Mary Mattingly, Saul Melman, Yunmi Her, Oyvind Renberg & Miho Shimizu, Margaret Noble, Don Porcella, Mei Xian Qiu, Jose Hugo Sanchez, Zachary Royer Scholz, Adriana Varella, Alex Villar, Theis Wendt

Contravention to perceived realities is a tried and true Los Angeles staple. It is a city that was founded on alternate metaphors and narratives. In Contraventions, Los Angeles based artists create multi disciplinary work countering the expected and banal. Meg Madison’s black and white photographic diptychs show two unrelated scenes from disparate locations, such as Berlin and Los Angeles. The viewer cannot fight the urge to create harmonious narratives. Mike Mollett, a performance artist and sculptor, founded the L.A. MUDPEOPLE, a tribe that chooses to live a simpler slower existence, a meditative one, amid the surrounding urban tumult. His sculptures reuse local ground materials , earth, mud, bone, steel, detritus and garbage. He places them in pristine environments that belie and/or emphasize their modest beginnings. Neal Taylor creates abstracted, velvety baroque sublimations of moisture and sex . Jason Locklyer’s photographs, drawings, and films have the feel of the wide spaces of Los Angeles, and intermixes these mediums with a mixture of humour and ominousness. Is it environmental catastrophe or just Hollywood? Abel Alejandre’s woodcuts and drawings originated in the streets and graffiti, and still have the feeling of deep humanity mixed with grit. The work is at once delicate and painstakingly rendered, and rough hewn. They remind us as much of the ancient Maya as the contemporary Los Angeleno. Martin Gantman’s photographs and “events” are at once a serious and tongue and cheek commentary of people, places, and things. They have a dead pan quality to them, challenging the viewer to ignore references and layers. Mei Xian Qiu’s inter and intra cultural melange create fantastical notions of self, society and future perfects. Elaine Park’s ephemeral sculptures are puzzles that can be altered continuously.

In all the works in the exhibition, there is always the sense of a changed or more intensified reality. They are new narratives from a city that shapes the real through the unreal.
