CSULB Sculpture Professor Katie Grinnan has a solo exhibition at Commonwealth and Council entitled Electric Data Wave Seranade. The exhibition cuts across bodies and land, from Death Valley earth to human bodies performing across the landscape to the realm of dreamscapes and sleep data. In a review by the Los Angeles Times, David Pagel writes, “Women’s bodies and nature have long been linked in art. In a brilliant two-gallery exhibition at Commonwealth and Council, Katie Grinnan suggests it’s high time we start thinking of nature in terms of women’s minds.” The exhibition runs from May 12 through June 23, 2018. Congratulations Professor Grinnan!

CSULB art students Anh Huynh, Jordan Sabolick, Nick O’Connell, and Oscar Pearson are all participating in the exhibition Now Trending at Palos Verdes Art Center. The opening reception will be on Saturday, June 9 from 6-9pm, and the exhibition will run from June 9 through July 8, 2018. The exhibition features current art students from leading Southern California art programs, who are invited to mine the cultural landscape of Los Angeles for inspiration leading to the submission of dynamic new work to be showcased in PVAC’s Third Annual Alpay Scholarship University Student Juried Exhibition. Congratulations artists!
