        JILLIAN MAYER

        With wry humor and a sense of lively energy, Jillian Mayer explores identity in the Internet age and the divide between reality and virtual reality, in drawings, photographs, installations, performances, videos, and a “meta-pop music” collective, #PostModem.

        Charlap Hyman & Herrero is a Los Angeles / New York based architecture and design firm that takes a fully integrated approach to conceptualizing and executing spaces in their totality. Principals Andre Herrero, AIA, and Adam Charlap Hyman, whose backgrounds are in architecture and interior design, lead a practice that considers all aspects of the built environment, from site plan to furniture. Working in various typologies – including buildings, set designs, retail spaces and private homes – CHH endeavors to consider divergent art forms and the experiences of multiple senses. Their aim is to create spaces that become worlds unto themselves, with gesamtkunstwerk at the core of the firm’s objective.

        For this site-specific installation, CHH inserted a sequence of portals lined with light into the entry of Flutter. The output of the LED tubes is in constant flux such that no two experiences or representations of the space are alike. Drawing on a contemporary Los Angeles vernacular and executed with essential construction materials that visitors will recognize from the surrounding built landscape, the qualities of space and light created here become an architectural portrait of the city.

        LEAH GUADAGNOLI

        Leah Guadagnoli creates imaginative sculptural paintings that blend intelligent postmodernism that reference vintage found textiles, a bit of Art Deco, Memphis, and 80s.

The handmade nature of her practice is strong as is her allusion to age-old gender stereotypes.

And she has been featured in Art News, Hyperallergic, Cultured Magazine, New American Paintings, and Maaker Magazine.
