Enjoying contemporary art and MHC alums!!!
Location: MOCA Grand 250 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012
What: MoCA Grand Focus: Ana Segovia In his paintings, Ana Segovia (b. 1991, Mexico City) twists assumptions about masculinity through a queer lens. Working with an aggressive palette of fluorescent colors, daring compositions, and cinematographic framing and cropping, Segovia undermines the gendered basis of national identity built around hypermasculine archetypes—such as the charro or cowboy—that have been standardized by film. The artist, who is a direct descendent of major players in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, an era spanning from the early 1930s to the late 1960s, has been using film stills drawn mostly from this auspicious tradition as a source for his paintings. Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968 Reexamining the postwar art movement of photorealism and tracing its lineages in art of the present day, Ordinary People: Photorealism and the Work of Art since 1968 includes more than forty artists (largely though not exclusively North American), spans the 1960s to the present, and features paintings, drawings, and sculptures. This historical, scholarly, group exhibition recovers the social art history of photorealism and complicates its meaning as a realism.
