Field Workshop: Artists-in-Residence OPEN STUDIO with Sid M. Duenas

ICA LA is pleased to announce the Field Workshop: Artists-in-Residence (FW: AIR), a new program that offers studio space for artists at the museum. Five Los Angeles-based artists have been selected for the inaugural 2021 FW: AIR season:

Sid M. Duenas
Nikita Gale
gloria galvez
Nour Mobarak
Kandis Williams

The FW: AIR program runs from February through September during which time each artist is invited to use the Field Workshop space for a period of six weeks. During each residency period, a public program conceived by the artist and organized in collaboration with Asuka Hisa, Director of Learning and Engagement, will be presented. An interview between each artist and Senior Curator Jamillah James will be featured on ICA LA’s website.

The Field Workshop: Artists-in-Residence program furthers ICA LA’s desire to share space and support the work of local artists, a longstanding commitment and cornerstone of the museum’s programming. In February 2020, ICA LA established the Field Workshop space and in August 2020 initiated the Field Workshop: Action Projects, in which artists used the space for a range of projects addressing art and social action.

Sid M. Duenas work with multiple mediums, including text, drawing, mark-making, collaging, and digital spaces. His most recent work focuses on text—in original poetic form, transcriptions of conversations, or snippets of readings—which are transferred to surfaces that are further worked with drawings, marks, or other images. He is concerned with the charting of intractable distances, both physical and perceptual, and in particular, the distances that exist between home-island and mainland. The artist periodically travels to Saipan to work and continue his collaborations with his father on their family land. He conjoins different mediums to reinforce meaning, exercise mental projection, and reveal truths about his physical and imagined localities, searching for the most accurate description of his diasporic experience.

Duenas has had solo exhibitions at the artist-run galleries in Los Angeles Mandujano Cell (2018), Artist Curated Projects (2017), and Safe Space (2016). His works have been exhibited at Material Art Fair in Mexico City, Mexico (2019), Converso in Milan, Italy (2019), ‘Ae Kai Cultural Lab/Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center in Honolulu, Hawai’i (2017), LAXART in Los Angeles, California (2017) and Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, California (2017). In 2014 he received a grant from Art Matters Foundation. Duenas graduated with a BA in graphic design from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California (2002), and attended The Mountain School (2010), and the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California (2014-2015).

FW: AIR: March 22–May 1, 2021

gloria galvez is an artist, organizer, and amateur mycologist who maintains a practice committed to creating and expanding access to physical and abstract spaces of possibility, imagination, and self-determination, especially for individuals for whom it is constantly denied.

Nikita Gale is a Los Angeles-based artist who uses ubiquitous consumer technologies as frameworks to consider how individuals potentially reproduce their relationships to objects within their relationships to political, social, and economic systems.

Nour Mobarak reflects upon the thought processes that produce language and generate alternative systems of knowledge, from poetics to mushrooms. Her interdisciplinary practice focuses on failure and decay, the positive presence of negation, and rhizomatic forms of intelligence to destabilize traditional conceptions of mastery and dominance in society. Her work is inextricably entwined with her own history and inner monologue.

Mobarak has performed at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; LAXART, Los Angeles; Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York; Stadslimeit, Antwerp; Cambridge University, Cambridge; and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, among others. She has published poems in journals such as F.R. David, The Claudius App, and The Salzburg Review. Mobarak has participated in exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York; LAXART, Los Angeles; Cubitt Gallery, London; and Rodeo Gallery, London.

FW: AIR: May 10–June 19, 2021

Kandis Williams is a visual artist whose practice spans collage, performance, writing, publishing, and curating, and explores and deconstructs critical theory around race, nationalism, authority, and eroticism. Her work focuses on the body as a site of experience, which is simultaneously co-opted as symbol. Williams is the founder and editor-at-large of Cassandra Press, an artist-run publishing and educational platform producing lo-fi printed matter, classrooms, projects, artist books, and exhibitions. The platform’s intention is to spread ideas, distribute new language, propagate dialogue centering ethics, aesthetics, femme driven activism, and black scholarship because y’all ain’t listening.

Williams’ recent exhibitions include solo shows at Night Gallery and SADE, Los Angeles; Charles St. Projects, Baltimore; Works on Paper, Vienna; and Kunst Werke, Berlin; as well as performances and workshops at Fragile Berlin; the Luminary Art Museum, St Louis; Human Resources, Los Angeles; and Blum and Poe, Los Angeles. She was recently included in A Woman’s Work, a PopRally event at MoMA organized by Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah. Her work has also been exhibited at The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; The Underground Museum, Los Angeles; Neu West and Peres Projects, Berlin; and The Breeder, Athens; among other spaces. Williams is currently a visiting faculty member at California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts).
