GATHERING POWER III (Indian market booth), 2024 A LIVING INSTALLATION with Laurie Steelink

On view MARCH 16–APRIL 28, 2024 Open SATURDAYS & SUNDAYS 11AM–5PM or by appointment

GATHERING POWER III (Indian market booth), 2024, is a living multimedia installation assembled by artist/curator/cultural practitioner Laurie Steelink. The principal framework for installation are Steelink’s Indian market booth walls, originally constructed to present her work at SWAIA’s Santa Fe Indian Market and the Autry Museum’s American Indian Arts Marketplace. In 2022, Steelink re-configured her market booth to function as a mixed-media installation for the exhibition California Biennial: Pacific Gold at the Orange County Museum of Art and titled it GATHERING POWER (Indian market booth). In her 2023 exhibition Spirit is Alive Magic is Afoot at the Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech University she re-configured the installation as GATHERING POWER II (Indian market booth). With each exhibition, the installation addressed through visual means and programming the First and existing Peoples of the surrounding land including the citizens of the Acjachemen Nation (California) and the Monacan Nation (Virgina). GATHERING POWER III (Indian market booth), 2024 will be reconfigured live over six weeks at Steelink’s live/work space CORNELIUS PROJECTS. During that time the multimedia installation will expand physically and conceptually, as Steelink assembles new work while respectfully honoring the land she is situated on, the unceded territory of the Gabrielino-Tongva. Steelink invites conversation and considers the activity as an integral layer to the overall work. On Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14 from 11am–4 pm Steelink and Cornelius Projects will host a small scale/space appropriate Indian Market with Native artists.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6 at 5 PM Cornelius Projects will host a fundraiser for The 16th MANY WINTERS GATHERING OF ELDERS Gathering for the Gathering: An Acoustic Fundraiser with Louis Robles Jr., Josh Andujo, George Funmaker, Juan Castillo, The Mourners, Chencho, Sallee Free, + more. Food by LA Food Not Bombs Suggested donation $20

As we round the corner towards Indigenous People’s Day (the “holiday” formerly known as Columbus Day) - and the fissures and tensions in the collapsing dominant culture widen - Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island and their fellow travelers will once again bring forth traditional wisdom and teachings at the 16th Annual Many Winters Gathering Of Elders (MWGOE). One of the messages that rang through all the previous MWGOE's was the importance of autonomy and grass roots activism. It is in that spirit that we gather from the four directions to raise funds for this sacred and necessary cause. As one of the Elders once said, “Talk your prayer, sing your prayer, dance your prayer, work your prayer!” With the help and support of the community, we will gather musicians, speakers, artists, and soulful troublemakers.
