Sacred Futurism - New Media Art

by Rebecca Nie and Collaborators

Wonzimer Gallery, Los Angeles

341 S Ave, 17 Los Angeles 90031

Sunday (April 21st)

Doors 7 PM

Screening Starts at 8 PM

Q&A With Artist at 8:20 PM

Healing, wisdom, and heritage are the underlying commonalities for the three dynamic new media art pieces by Rebecca Nie and her collaborators. An award-winning artist and published author, Nie collaborates with highly accomplished musicians to create audio-visual installations that artistically aid the audience in connecting with their subconsciousness and intuition. By doing so, the artists invite the audience to experience the sublime directly and tap into the profound healing wisdom innate to every human being.

Rebecca Nie is an award-winning new media artist, published author, and spiritual advisor who lives and works in Northern California. As a contemporary heir of one of the world’s oldest living mystic orders, she creates to artistically aid the audience in connecting with their unconsciousness and intuition. By doing so, Nie hopes to invite the audience to directly experience the sublime and tap into the profound healing wisdom innate to every human being. The inspiration for Nie’s works comes from her inner work, global adventures, and attainment in diverse disciplines. Nie spent over a decade rigorously studying classical representational artmaking and attended college-level classes at art institutions throughout her formal education. In parallel, Nie intentionally expanded her horizon and added depth to her investigation of lights, colors, and forms by studying them from scientific perspectives. She attended the University of Toronto and graduated as a high-distinction scholar with dual degrees specializing in quantum optics and mathematics. Nie subsequently graduated from Stanford University with a graduate degree in applied physics. Another dimension of depth in Nie’s art comes from her training and dedication to engaged mysticism. Nie’s art and introspections are an integrated whole: she lets go of her limited self to allow the lines, colors, and textures to come forth from a mystical center in her being and knows that it is the source through which we are all connected. When not creating art, Nie can be found developing algorithms that interlace mathematical and artistic beauty, translating ancient texts, or practicing Zen yoga, which Nie learned by the Ganges River and in China’s sacred mountains.

24 Hour Sunset is the first feature documentary, directed by Charles Derenne & Edouard de Luze, covering the Art scene of Los Angeles.

The documentary, co-produced by Douglas Gordon, is composed of intimate conversations between some of the most renowned artists, Galleries,and Collectors living in L.A and the upcoming generation of artists "Made in L.A". The feature includes Paul McCarthy, Kenneth Anger ( His Last appearance), Henry Taylor, Louise Bonnet, Ariana Papademetropoulos, Patrick Painter, Sarah Watson ( Gagosian Director) Raymond Pettibon, Jeffrey Deitch,  Jill Mulleady, Peter Shire, Paz Lenchantin, Umar Rashid, Paul Schimmel, Joe Dallesandro as the narrator, and more...

Each sequence addresses a specific subject, providing pieces of information and personal vision on art, inspirations, and experiences: From the expectations of young artists to the personal hindsight of renowned artists-  Kenneth Anger giving his last message to Generation X armed with iPhones as an extension of their arms, telling them that they can create with limited resources, Henry Taylor in his studio painting live and showing his techniques while exploring his new works, Sarah Watson & Louise Bonnet on their attraction for Los Angeles and the complexity of the city, the body transformations as a model of inspiration, a Dinner at mega-collector Eugenio Lopez with creatives philosophizing about their ideas, Mr Washington sharing his story of how the painting got him out of  a  wrongful lifetime sentence to jail, Jeffrey Deitch and Ariana Papademetropoulos having a conversation about the iconology of Hollywood and the real character of L.A, Paul McCarthy talks about the limitation of freedom and the life of an artist

As an offshoot of the traditional Salon, the term is used loosely as a loan word to signify a semi-regular gathering of creative minded art and literary enthusiasts.

Curated by @apokrify and @cerenoir, both artists unified by a shared appreciation for the genres of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a desire to explore exciting alternatives to the somewhat sterile “white box” gallery show.

The Salon will take place ahead of this years Frieze week and is an opportunity to celebrate local talent: @thirrrsst , Fayez Ahdab, @cerenoir, @jenniferberkowitz, @rossdcallahan, @everything_kills_2.0, @samopaints, @meganjorgenson, @paashamotamedi, @fadi.masad, @crooked.rib , @sinclairvicisitud, @thewalruscatalogue, @emilyutne, @foroozan_shirghani, @shrineon, @gloriagemsanchez Natalia Szaniawski, @nicoshea_, @angleponce, @seven_ruck_, @spencer_shap, @vascodelrey, @unitedstatesgovernmentofficial, @zinniveshi, @ollievalentineartist, @tarazorthian, @erinn.mp4, @thealexandrayvette and @apokrify.

Eventbrite ticket required for entry. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/salon-de-siecle-tickets-825731654607?aff=oddtdtcreator

The Salon is multifaceted and includes live performance, you can expect: burlesque by “the sweetest star in Hollywood” Honeybaby @ryanhoneybaby, musical performance by French Jazz Vocalist Elene Dee @elene.dee, guest illustrations by Alexandra Yvette @thealexandrayvette, and a DJ set by Sarper Gokbulut @garden.of.earthly.delightss to close out the night.

There is no dress code but we are going for a “dark cabaret” 1920’s theme this Salon so dress accordingly if you would like! (We would love it).

Follow @findesiecle.art for more information and updates on what else will be in store.

We hope to see you there!

About Thomas Cooper Studio

Creative partners Sally Thomas Cooper and Jason Kai Cooper, long known for fresh, modern lighting for home and hospitality through their ventures Luxe and Lusive, founded Thomas Cooper Studio to explore the material and sculptural essence of lighting.  

The Thomas Cooper Studio collection represents a multilayered, multifaceted collaboration between Jason and Sally. Materials and techniques join forces in a search for the inner poetry of each piece: heat-formed, mouth-blown, flash-cracked glass; carved marble, alabaster, and natural stone; cast and hand-patinaed bronze; hand-polished, leaded crystal. At the same time, a study of sculptural expression creates a balance between shine and shade, density and delicacy, form and function. 

Sally Thomas Cooper studied art history, music, and design in her native New Zealand and has worked as an interior designer, production designer, and marketing director for interior products. Jason Kai Cooper studied scenic and lighting design and has worked as a lighting, theatrical, and product designer. The couple have worked together since 1999 and hold Thomas Cooper Studio as the culmination of their shared design passions. 

Models in the collection are individually hand-crafted by the skilled artisans in our studio. Custom versions tailored to a specific setting are available by commission.

Art & Community: A Discussion with Frances Anderton & Artist, Ann Weber

In addition to a daily studio practice, Ann Weber believes that participating in the arts community has furthered her ambitions beyond measure. In this one hour discussion, filmed by LA Art documents, she and Frances Anderton talk about how to become more involved with the magnificent culture of Los Angeles. Frances Anderton tells stories and distills ideas about design, architecture and the cityscape of Los Angeles, in print, broadcast media and public events. She is the author of Common Ground: Multifamily Housing in Los Angeles, winner of a Gold award for best Regional Nonfiction from Foreword Reviews. She has co-produced short films for the nonprofit housing developers Community Corporation of Santa Monica and Venice Community Housing, and she is currently researching “Awesome and Affordable” housing as a Fellow of Friends of Residential Treasures: Los Angeles (FORT: LA). She writes a regular newsletter on design and architecture for KCRW public radio station, for which she previously hosted the show DnA: Design and Architecture, and produced the current affairs shows Which Way, LA? and To The Point. Honors include the Esther McCoy Award, from the Architectural Guild of USC School of Architecture, for her work educating the public about architecture and urbanism. She teaches at USC, and she serves on the boards of AIA/LA, Community Corp, and Palm Springs Modernism Week.

Autopsicografia Reading Night at Wonzimer is an interdisciplinary reading night by Brazilian artist Amanda Maciel Antunes initially created for an installation at Redondo Beach Historic Library, CA. The work’s centerpiece is a table with four chairs where guests are invited to sit, and read from their works in text...such as poetry, letters, transgressions and confessions. The table is covered with a handmade woven cloth that serves as an on-going embroidered poem by Antunes and guests. In her practice, she’s often concerned with anthropological texts and poetry in translation, reflecting on the selective nature of memory, language and cultural heritage. The title is from a poem of the same name by Fernando Pessoa. The work proposes many possible interpretations and the concept that language at first, lives primarily as a sound to be understood followed by meaning.

ACTS: Four guests sit at the table and read from their works by taking turns. A projection (birds eye view) of table and hands will be simultaneously shown above on the wall. When guest is not reading they are welcome to embroider, write, stitch or simply do nothing and just wait for their turn to read again. This ends when all guests have read their works, and walked away from the table.

FILM AND DETAILS:

Eva Hesse, A film by Marcie Begleiter, Director, Writer, Producer

The Director will be present to introduce the film and be available for a Q & A following

the film.

Duration: I hour 48 minutes

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aov6R8qmf10

Description:

Eva Hesse, a documentary that explores the journey of an extraordinary woman; an artist whose life was in dynamic interplay with the development of her ground-breaking work. The story takes place in the excitement of 1960's NY; the downtown art scene with the creative community, in their studios and on the streets plays a major role as does the burgeoning feminist movement. The film also explores her youth as a Jew in 1930's Germany, a country she returned to in 1964 to face her past and forge her future. A poignant look at a profoundly talented artist whose career, as it was beginning, ended in both tragedy and triumph. I selected this film because Eva Hesse had a profound effect on my life as an artist. She was a role model to me and countless other women because she broke down so many doors for all of us.

Introduction for Marcie

Marcie Begleiter, the director and producer of Eva Hesse, is a California-based artist working in photography, drawing,

ceramics and film. The documentary premiered at the Whitney Museum in 2015 and was broadcast on PBS’ American

Masters in 2018. It also received world-wide theatrical distribution and has screened at major art museums in Europe and Asia.

Begleiter’s work has been supported by grants from the NEA, LACES, the Foundation for Art Resources and Germany's

Hamburger Kunsthalle. Recent group shows include exhibits at the CICA Museum in Seoul, the Praxis Center of Art in

Minneapolis, and the University of Santa Barbara. Her solo show “What Will Remain: Recent Drawings and Photographs, was presented at the Cambria Center for the Arts in 2022.

In academia she was the Founding Director of the Creative Action/Integrated Learning Program at Otis College of Art, Associate Professor in the Graduate Department of Film at Art Center and on faculty at the International Filmschule in Köln, Germany. She is based in Los Angeles and Los Osos, CA.

ARTIST FILMS AND DETAILS:

Title: Anti-Frontier: California City

By: Daniel Tovar

Description: Two-channel looped video, color, stereo sound; 16 min., 30 sec.

"Anti-Frontier: California City" is a video installation examining the history of resource extraction in the western tip of the Mojave Desert.

Title: Blind Ritual,

By: Liz Miller-Kovacs.

Blind Ritual is video short produced with a crew of two people in the wind farms near Palm Springs, California. The theme of the video is spirituality, death and rebirth. The context of the work is after the looming environmental disaster which humanity is currently facing. Blind Ritual is a surrealist narrative set sometime in the post-apocalyptic near future where the earth has turned into an endless desert. The costuming of the piece is meant to convey protection from a hostile physical environment. The color of the video reflects harsh UV rays due to toxic pollution and the destruction of the ozone layer. As no fossil fuel remains, the few survivors can only rely on wind-generated electricity. This is an environment that does not easily support life of any kind, and very few humans and animals remain. A lone, faceless protagonist lives a nomadic existence amongst the wind turbines. They struggle to preserve a sense of humanity and mourn the loss of civilization. While performing a ritual in remembrance of a loved one they suffer an emotional breakdown, yet emerge triumphant despite their dystopian circumstances.

Title: Hypocrisy of Sanctuary,

By: Beth Davila Waldman

Created in March 2018 during a residency at Playa Institute in Summer Lake, OR, this film “Hypocrisy of Sanctuary” revealed the integral role of site back into my work. Since 1997, my art has explored connections with my maternal desert homeland Arequipa, Peru as its primary site. As an American revisiting my mother’s city ever 5 years, I have found ways to anchor myself to this land.

My art challenges the idea of permanency starting with photography as its visual language and site as an inspiration to speak to the shifts in home, cities and the resulting human conditions. My approach values the navigation of uncharted grounds, repositioning existing elements to create something more powerful. My work promotes the idea of change and transformation breaking ground literally by shattering my own source photography from global landscapes into a series of new fragments used to create energetic abstract landscapes as collage works on panel with material, color and form. From this film, that resulting series is entitled "Desert Intersections". As a processed based artist, my collages on panel, works on paper, video performance works and photographic art embrace the multiple stages of my studio practice.

This video work developed as an intention to symbolically excavate the ruins of my Peruvian Ancestors from Summer Lake as a metaphor for the sacred Inca Lake Titicaca, & juxtapose the actual site with my own current west coast American existence. A newer part of my creative process since 2018 including 6 other video works involved the choreography of the video, considering time of day for light, the presence of others in public spaces, security of self & equipment, & the role of myself as the figure. A developing voyeuristic perspective of my body representing something beyond “the me” was also new ground for my practice.

Join us for the special presentation and conversation with the exhibiting artists, 

Francesca Bifulco, Jason Jenn and Vojislav

and  a special guest from Belgrade, Serbia, performance artist Branko Milisković.

Sebastian Rosen is drawn to the expressive power of color and texture that only an intuitive process-based method of painting can cultivate. His canvases construct, expand, and collapse space by confronting the rigidity of perspective and denying a clear viewpoint into the worlds he creates. He offers worlds whose geometry and logic are amorphous and shifting; thus never stable. It is through the absence of such pictorial stability that the viewer is forced to intuit their own way through these spaces. This gives the viewer something in common with the figures inhabiting these spaces, both unsure of how and where to move.

In his show, Crime Pays: 999 Ways, Rosen presents a collection of these spaces. The works range from sweeping landscapes to intimate rooms that pull the viewer back and forth from the exterior to the interior and give evidence of this material journey. With each part of the painting composed through a reactive and intuitive process, it is the materials used that drive these decisions. It is where the surface of these materials meet the images they create that his works become windows that question whether one should look through them or at them.
