The above image is of Jessie Homer French’s  Mapestry California 2012, 2012 (fabric, thread, fabric paint, and pen), which was on view in 2018 at Palm Springs Art Museum.

From the museum about the work-

This work is from a series of “mapestries” that the artist made between 2012-2017. These textile works graphically map out natural elements and forces in California, from prominent flora and fauna, natural monuments and mountain ranges, as well as hidden fault lines that spur the earthquakes that constantly threaten the region and its inhabitants. The work reflects the artist’s hyperawareness of the environment around her. Their flat, graphic qualities are similar in form to the artist’s paintings. The mapestries were made specifically for Californians, as artworks that could do no harm hanging over one’s bed in case of an earthquake.

One of her paintings is currently part of the benefit exhibition Art for a Safe and Healthy California at Gagosian Beverly Hills. The exhibition, presented by Jane Fonda, along with the gallery, is raising money to protect communities from toxic oil drilling.

Valeria's Mini-Research Paper Gregory Crewdson – Inspiring Works

Gregory Crewdson’s work immediately captivated me; I was drawn to focus on hisphotography as inspiration. After having no luck finding a photographer featuring works akin towhat I’d like to accomplish through the magazine publication Photograph I finally came upon Crewdson’s second latest body of work: Cathedral of the Pines (2013-2014). Further diving intohis work illuminated Crewdson’s Beneath the Roses exhibition which stood out to me the most. Both of these bodies of work parallel yet hold a similar quality to them; they explore an air ofmysticism, life, and isolation extrapolated through cinematic, painting, and narrative-stylized qualities.

First of all, Crewdson’s body of work which I initially came upon was one of his latest named Cathedral of Pines (2013-2014). This body of work was begun and culminated throughout three productions in Becket, Massachusetts, while also implementing surrounding, rural areas. Exploring these vast areas, Crewdson focused his body of work in adjacent forests as well as the trail of which the body of work coined its name. The instillation was presented at the contemporary Gagosian art gallery, at the New York location, from January 28th – March 12th, 2016. The series of photos featured thirty-one digital, pigmented prints measuring at 45x58 inches once framed. His main themes explored and extrapolated images that “probe tensions between art and life, connection and separation, intimacy and isolation” while also implementing a visual allure (Gagosian 2016). This alluring grandeur is akin to, and inspired by some of my favorite filmmakers, works by Alfred Hitchcock, Douglas Sirk, and Terrance Malik. His bodies of work reminded me of the famous American painter Edward Hoover as his well-known Nighthawks painting is one of my favorites that I saw at The Art Institute of Chicago. Funnily enough, his photographs are said to “evoke the paintings of Edward Hopper and the photographs of Walker Evans and Diane Arbus,” this further excited me as I am a big fan of Hopper’s work (Gagosian 2005). Crewdson is somewhat of a film director himself; he stages his actors within a perfectly formulated, art directed location, composing them as if it were a film allowing for complete mystery in “what these challenges are, and what fate awaits these anonymous figures,” inside of the given location curated by Crewdson is completely “left to the viewer's imagination” (Gagosian 2016).

Furthermore, his earlier body of work which I was also drawn to is called Beneath theRoses (2003-2005, 2006-2007). The photographs for this project circulated among two wholly different exhibition showings, one ensuing from May 21st – July 16th, 2005, at the Gagosian Beverly Hills location, which Crewdson later returned to with added works displayed from May 3rd – June 7th, 2008. His earlier exhibition for the series featured twenty large-scale photographs taken over the course of three years, 2003-2005, with a full production team “both on soundstages and on locations in various small towns” (Gagosian 2005). Meanwhile, Crewdson’s later exhibition for the same series of photographs were taken over two years, 2006-2007, during four seasonal cycles in locations including “street corners, front yards, forest clearings, and so on” in order to convey and “enhance the pessimism at the core of Crewdson’s perception of provincial American life” (Gagosian 2008). The themes Crewdson wished to convey in Beneath the Roses was of a “dystopic landscape of the anxious American imagination” while never being fully “anchored precisely in time or place” as the atmosphere and actors in the photographs draw “the viewer into quieter scenes where isolated or strangely displaced individuals are caught in moments of liminal anticipation” (Gagosian 2008).

In parallel, both bodies of work by Crewdson are totally mysterious and up for interpretation by the viewer. This is due to the fact that not only are most of his works untitled but there is no explanation provided for the scenarios the actors within the photographs are in, so one must assume, or create their own truths, on how the people in the frame got to be there inside of those wonderfully, crafted yet haunting and perplexing situations. Crewdson submerges audiences into a world of its own while using actual reality to shape and bend a sense of illusoriness into all of his photographs. Both bodies of work are extremely similar in these senses, yet they do differ slightly. In Cathedral of the Pines (2013-2014), my personal favorite body of work, Crewdson retreated into the woods after suffering from a divorce and a loss of inspiration, which he regained after his escape into nature. This later work from him subtly departs from his earlier works as he steps “away from the scenes of desolate American suburbia he’s known for [and shifting] his focus to rural communities that appear to be stuck in the 1970s,” which I very much enjoy, as I will be shooting mostly in woody settings for my final body of work (Photograph 2016). His earlier works, such as Beneath the Roses (2003-2005, 2006-2007), are just that, emphasizing the lonely American psyche within its society.

Comparing photographs from both bodies of work further highlights their contrasting qualities. In Cathedral of the Pines (2013-2014), two of my favorite photographs are The Pickup Truck (2014) and Woman at Sink (2014); these two photographs still hold Crewdson’s cinematic style as well as his “dark psychological undercurrent” yet they are distinct in their incorporation of nature and its mysterious vastness to Crewdson’s advantage (Photograph 2016). Specifically seen in The Pickup Truck (2014) where two people lay nude on the back of an old pickup truck in the immeasurable forest of trees, the audience does not have a “clear narrative to follow, only rural scenes made strange at the hand of Crewdson’s production crew,” the idea that reality must be reflected through a photograph is distorted through Crewdson’s lens, “we can’t trust these images to capture the truth […] perhaps, Crewdson suggests, we can never know the real story” (Photograph 2016). Likewise, Woman at Sink (2014) features a seemingly tired and bothered middle aged woman, solemnly standing by a kitchen sink filled with blood. Next to her lay a wide window, through it the vast woods and a snowy house are visible. The scene is ominous and the viewer must decipher his own story once again.

Contrastingly, in Beneath the Roses (2003-2005, 2006-2007) my two favorite photographs are both Untitled, all of the photographs I can find are untitled for this body of work, the first is of a man in a business suit standing by his car in a city, outside in the pouring rain holding one hand up to the sky (2004). My second favorite is of a woman standing completely still and naked in her lit-up bathroom, ominously staring down at the ground while in the foreground lay her dark bedroom with clothes and objects laying on the ground, the only light coming from her window shades (2004). Both of these images are stunning, still capturing Crewdson’s aesthetic, yet they make use of modernity and American lifestyle such as the man’s business attire, the clothes and heels laying on the woman’s bedroom floor, etc.

Overall, I am fascinated by Gregory Crewdson’s work. The elements that most fascinate me about his work are his use of colors and how he can create his mysterious, ominous mood throughout his series of photos in this way. His colors are beautiful, yet simultaneously horrifying and elevating the puzzling nature of his photographs. His misé-en-scene is stupendous in each of his carefully articulated photographs, it is just so greatly akin to the nature on a film set. I am a film major myself so his work speaks to me significantly. Crewdson’s work is one I would like to emulate for my final, as he too uses actors to fill his photographs in a cinematic manner. Of course, my own narration will be implemented, but his ominous, lonely mood and hyper-aesthetic will ceaselessly draw me in and inspire me.

On February 21st, I open my solo show, titled GYATEI2, at Gagosian Beverly Hills. The title of the show references the climactic mantra, “gyatei, gyatei, haragyatei, harasogyatei,” that comes at the end of the Heart Sutra. This phrase could be full of meaning or devoid of meaning—some say it imitates an infant’s cry and, when chanted loudly, signifies rebirth. One of the works I’d like people to pay attention to in this show is a large painting featuring fish. If I may say so myself, this piece is exquisitely done. How can I put it—it’s been my goal as an artist to make my mind completely blank and paint as though in daze, wandering randomly around the canvas, and this is a piece that I managed to complete in just such way. I feel very lucky about this work. And there’s a back story to this piece. When I first met Larry Gagosian at his uptown gallery in NY to discuss my getting represented by the gallery, I tried to promote myself by showing him an idea for this painting (it was actually an image of a jar) and telling him that I intended to make a large painting with this as the subject. Larry really liked the idea. I subsequently did come to be represented by Gagosian, but I wasn’t able to realize the fish painting for a long time. Before I became a contemporary artist, actually I used to almost exclusively paint fish—especially freshwater fish. To think about the reason why, I recall often going to a river with my father to fish and seeing what looked like professional fishermen catching grass carps and fish named Hypophthalmichthys molitrix or Hypophthalmichthys nobilis brought in from China that were more than 1-meter long, and being astonished. Neither my father nor I ever managed to catch big fish and we brought small fish or shrimp home to release in our backyard pond, but rather than such a pathetic memory, it seems that my awe of huge fish must have remained vividly in my mind. The fish I have painted, by chance, are enormous freshwater fish that must have grown in a big river in China.

The eighth episode of Gagosian Premieres celebrates Frank Gehry: Spinning Tales—an exhibition of new work presented at Gagosian, Beverly Hills—featuring musical performances by esperanza spalding and Gustavo Dudamel and YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), and a conversation between Frank Gehry and Julian Rose conducted in Gehry’s Los Angeles studio.

Marking the celebrated architect’s eighth exhibition with the gallery, Spinning Tales pairs large-scale elaborations on the Fish Lamps series with a new sculptural installation, Wishful Thinking (2021), based on the Mad Hatter’s tea party in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. While Fish Lamps is an independent body of work, the “perfect form” of the creature from which it takes its name reappears throughout Gehry’s architectural oeuvre as a key inspiration for his own formal and technical innovations. Similarly, the creased surfaces of Wishful Thinking’s figures establish a visual connection with some of Gehry’s best-known buildings.

In this episode, acclaimed jazz bassist, singer, and songwriter esperanza spalding plays a new original score in an improvised performance in the gallery. The music’s sinuous, free-flowing quality echoes the piscine forms on view. spalding has collaborated with Gehry previously, and they are currently working together on Iphigenia, a new opera inspired by the Greek mythological figure.

Gehry has been involved with the Los Angeles Philharmonic since 1970. The Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, which houses the orchestra today, opened in 2003, while the Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood, which Gehry designed as YOLA’s first permanent, purpose-built facility, will open in September 2021. Launched in 2007, the YOLA program has democratized music education for students aged 5 to 18 from LA neighborhoods. It currently supports more than 1,300 young musicians across four sites, providing them with free instruments, music instruction, academic support, and leadership training, under the direction of Gustavo Dudamel.

Dudamel, music and artistic director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducts an ensemble of fifteen YOLA musicians. Surrounded by Gehry’s sculptures, they perform the first movement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no. 3. And inside Gehry’s installation Wishful Thinking, YOLA cellist Natalie Aviña plays the gigue from the composer’s Suite for Solo Cello no. 2.

Architectural historian and critic Julian Rose visits Gehry in his studio to discuss the making of the recent artworks and their multivalent connections to his architectural practice, while Tomas Osinski, Sophie Lauriault, and Tae Park—all close collaborators on the production of Gehry’s projects—offer a tour of the architect’s studio, sharing their insights into the technical and procedural complexities of his practice.
