Squaring The Circle/LA Art Girls
I am so excited to be participating in this amazing project representing the LA Art Girls. Thank you to Stephanie Allespach for curating our part of this temporary residence.
Squaring the Circle Craftwoman House and Hinterculture
30 ARTISTS, A ONE-DAY EVENT AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER LLANO DEL RIO COLONY IN HONOR OF ITS CENTENNIAL. Craftswoman House and Hinterculture present Squaring the Circle: Llano del Rio Centennial an interdisciplinary arts event on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014 from 1 pm to 6pm with site specific installations and performances on view to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Llano del Rio Cooperative Colony, a utopian socialist community established in 1914 by Job Harriman in Southern California?s Antelope Valley. The event participants who reflect diversity in their work as historians, visual artists, filmmakers, writers, choreographers, dancers, musicians, activists, and transdisciplinary practitioners responding to questions that Llano inspires. How does site-specific place, and the historical archive relate to artists and their contemporary expression? How has the categorization of Feminism, Socialism, Utopia and Collaboration shaped artists' practices? Can we square the circle and propose evolution into an alternative future? http://tempresidence.blogspot.com/2014/04/30-artists-one-day-event-at-site-of.html
For my personal contribution to the event. I silk screened patches that simply said Feminist as well as a workshop to make 'sit-upons' a long time Girl Scout camping project.
Participating LA ART GIRLS Stephanie Allespach, Chloe Boleyn, Sydney Croskey, Felis Stella, Kelly Thompson, Marjan Vayjhan

All are invited. Join us at UNIT 7
In our increasingly growing climate of mistrust, anger, paranoia, war and waste, these 6 artists show us how to find our empathy, compassion and hope for a better future. Whether it be intellectually or physically proactive they all strive towards recognizing our common bonds and making a positive impact on each other and the world around us. In thinking globally our every day actions and ideas can bring change. From ecology, global awareness, socially political efforts to exercise in personal growth, this exhibit serves as a reminder to ourselves and our audience to listen as well as teach each other to recognize our common bonds as human beings. As artists we hope to inspire and also take every opportunity to continue practicing tolerance compassion and building on the ideas of simple joy and support for those we know as well as strangers.
Note from the Curator:
Stephanie Allespach has been a mentor and inspiration to me personally as well as many here in Los Angeles and in Berlin. Her generosity in sharing her knowledge alone exudes the feeling of hope in humanity that we should all be a part of. Her work is always smart beautiful and insightful all of the components that you as the viewer will be able to take away from this exhibition.
Sydney Croskery is a tour de force of talent plus humor as well as inner and outer beauty. Common threads that have consistently run through her work are opposition, hybridization, laboriousness, industry, violence, overabundance, humor, paranoia, fear, and beauty. Her kindness and empathy are ever present in her work as in her life. She is an inspiration and joy to all who meet her. I look forward not only to working with Sydney but am anxious to see what beautiful work she brings to this show.
Clifford LeCuyer is not only a personal favorite artist he is a talented poet and a beautiful human being. He has a gift for inspiring and making all of those around him feel happy on a daily basis. His recent work of “One Ups a series he refers to as a Giant Sketchbook", is a testament to his spontaneity and the simplistic beauty in which he brings to every project he does. His kind and giving energy is contagious. It is that of which all of us can share and take note of.
Alexx Thompson is a passionate and talented Videographer of who’s work I’ve been fortunate enough to have recently discovered. His many videos document the lives of the people he meets during his many travels. His video piece "Surreal Istanbul/Turkey in 24 Hours” tells a story of beauty and hope using his incredible cinematography and editing skills he captures the many story’s of the people he films.
Susan Catherine Weber is one of the most talented fine art photographers I've EVER. We have collaborated on several shows and I trust not only her vision but her amazing sensibility and unrelenting sense of humor. Whether she and her camera are walking the streets of Los Angeles or on one of her many around the world adventures she captures the essence and reality of any situation and space. I look forward not only to working with her again but being a enlightened audience member and enjoying her work again.
Kelly Thompson, event curator and participating artist. As an artist my work is usually community driven often with a socially political focus. The work I’ve chosen for “Oh The Humanity” is titled “puffs”. This work represents our fragile ecology and the promotion of a clean earth. Recently invited to exhibited this piece at Barnsdall Municipal Gallery it was such a delight. It is an interactive, ready made piece that was received with child like joy and enthusiasm. I hope to share it many more times to come. I will be showing a new painting as well.

Stephanie's Performance
I loved this post of Sydney's that was on the face so much that I have to share it with you:
TONIGHT TONIGHT/// (With Sydney Croskery)
THE EGG will be participating in “I Feel As If I Have Two Wolves Fighting In My Heart”, Stephanie Allespach's collaborative mash-up is inspired by Nancy Buchanan’s 1980 performance, “If I Could Only Tell You How Much I Really Love You”
7-9 at LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, 6522 Hollywood Blvd.)
with Nancy Popp, Tricia Lawless Murray, Kelly Thompson, Christopher Russell, Craig Havens, Deirdre Moncy, Dino Dinco, Erich Wise, Joan Rameau, Matias Vegener, Peter Alberts, and Reza Monahan and more.
Part of the Spirit Resurrection Series and Pacific Standard Time
it's gonna be GREEEAAT.
What a wonderful performance it was at LACE in Hollywood. Great job everyone! I so enjoyed being the balloon wrangler. Was a little nervous at first but had a blast. I'm told I'm the best balloon wrangler in the west ;) The reactions I got when handing them out on Hollywood Blvd. were great. My favorite was the girl who held her stomach like she was full and said, 'oh,no thank you' as if taking the balloon would make her barf. I noticed most of the people who took them were happy people. It was so eggcellent!
