REBECCA ALLEN’S collaboration with Nam June Paik discussed in NYTimes article.
Many of the works in “Programmed: Rules, Codes and Choreographies in Art, 1965-2018,” an exhibition at the Whitney Museum, require an electrical outlet. The presentation — drawn mostly from the museum’s collection — involves much in the way of video projections, lights, television sets, voice-overs, soundtracks, computers, computer programs and, in the most recent efforts, touch screens.

BEN LERCHIN BEN LERCHIN “Spatial Erratic" in Daily Bruin
UCLA graduate student critiques human interaction with nature in innovative exhibit
Ben Lerchin uses 3D printing technology to explore the relationship between humans and nature in their solo exhibition.
The exhibition, entitled “Spatial Erratic,” is part of a series of exhibitions by graduate students in UCLA’s department of Design Media Arts. Lerchin said the title is a play on “glacial erratics,” a geological term used to describe large boulders transported by glaciers to a landscape they don’t fit into. Open Tuesday through Thursday at the Broad Art Center, “Spatial Erratic” relates the human body with ideas connected to the dynamic rocks, Lerchin said. By utilizing 3D printing, the exhibition creates an intersection between environments and the technology Lerchin uses to recreate them.Chandler McWilliams new project with Sming Sming books available at LA Art Book Fair April 12-14, 2019

GELARE KHOSHGOZARAN and Jimena Sarno: The International Expanded Field
In the spirit of transnational dialog in times of heightened fragmentation, competition and isolation, The International Expanded Field brings members of different diasporic communities of Los Angeles for a three day event at Human Resources. With a critical and contemporary look at the late 1960s and 1970s third world solidarity movements, the three day event creates a platform for sustained dialogue, and collective joy and pleasure. Through storytelling, film and video screenings, discussion, personal archives, collective dinners, dance and music, we come together from histories of coups, colonization, military dictatorships and interventions, to collectively think about what prepares us to carry on.
The event is organized by Gelare Khoshgozaran and Jimena Sarno with contributions by Carmen Amengual, Carolyn Castaño, Gary Dauphin, Sandra de la Loza, iris yirei hu, Andre Keichian, Roshanak Kheshti, Sara Mameni, María Montenegro, Jennifer Moon, Amitis Motevalli, Sarah Naim, Perwana Nazif, Aria Safar, Hande Sever and more.

NEIL MENDOZA'S "Fish Hammer", interviewed in YOUFAB
The winner of the Grand Prize at 2018’s YouFab Global Creative Awards, titled “Fish Hammer,” gives a harmless (seemingly harmless, anyway!) goldfish the power to smash miniature pieces of human furniture. In other words, it allows the fish to turn the tables, destroying a human environment the same way humans have been doing to fish for years. At the same time, its use of humorous, almost cartoonish images gives “Fish Hammer” a light touch.
TRANSFER IS PLEASED TO PRESENT ARTIFACTS II A SOLO PRESENTATION OF PHAZERO
In partnership with Wallplay #ONCANAL, a corridor for new ideas, this exhibition is part of the ‘International Womxn’s Day’ programming curated by Terry Lovette and AnnaLisa Benston.
Artifacts II is a first-person exploration adventure game, set in surreal environments representing memory spaces in the character’s mind. The game is about the character’s mental health journey and the entanglement of trauma in the mind and body.
Artifacts II uses elements of exploration (or walking sims), RPG, and Survival MDA to reveal the fragments of a character’s broken past.
You can download and play the Demo on itch.io. The game was an Indie Cade Official Selection in 2018 and was featured at the Game Art Festival at the Hammer Museum, LA.

NATE MOHLER: Project Noctis Lux
Nate Mohler, in conjunction with Res Life and the Student Committee for the Arts, is occupying the hill during the late nights of finals week with a light installation to physically and metaphorically bring the dorm walls to life.
In an effort to support mental health, we be collecting poems, quotes, and words of wisdom from the UCLA Community to be incorporated into the project. We will also be inviting the public to digitally paint on the facade of Covel Commons, and have their art recorded and saved.
Come make your mark as a UCLA community at one of two launch events and digitally spray paint your source of inspiration that will give light to your fellow classmates during those late nights of studying. You can participate in this project by submitting your quotes online at NoctisLux.Club or in person at the light pole in front of BCafe. Your drawings and your words will be projected onto the facade of the walls of The Hill, all throughout the night during finals week. See your words of wisdom inspire others for a healthy finals week. Go bruins!
See more information at NoctisLux.club or the facebook event link.
