An exhibition of female artists benefitting the Downtown Women's Center
Opening Reception:
Saturday, April 10th, 2010 / 8-11PM
Exhibition Dates:
April 10th - May 8th, 2010
Featuring: Liz McGrath, Jen Stark, Swoon, Monica Canilao, Kime Buzelli, Mona Superhero, Meryl Smith, Mel Kadel, Jessica Hess, Marissa Textor, Jesse Spears, Nikki McClure, Jesselisa Moretti, and Co-Curator Deedee Cheriel
Subliminal Projects is pleased to present SUBject/subJECT, a group exhibition opening April 10, featuring works from over a dozen female artists handpicked by the gallery and co-curator Deedee Cheriel.
SUBject/subJECT examines women's use of public platforms in mass media, inviting both artists and viewers into a dialogue about role models, self-image and the messages women project in both the mainstream and alternative media. Says Cheriel, "Now that women have 'equal rights,' what are we trying to say? What's our subject? Since female artists remain underrepresented in galleries and museums, we created this show as a platform for emerging women artists to represent!"
Among the show's artists are Swoon, whose gritty yet delicate paper cutout portraits and large-scale flotillas of otherworldly art boats have landed her on the cover of this month's ARTnews; Elizabeth McGrath, who breathes beauty and life into the macabre through her creature sculptures and theater-of-the-mind dioramas; and Jen Stark, whose colorful paper sculptures, drawings and animations have been described by Wired as "coldy mathematical yet exuberantly organic." Other artists include Cheriel, Monica Canilao, Kime Buzzelli, Mona Superhero, Meryl Smith, Mel Kadel, Jessica Hess, Marissa Textor, Jesse Spears and Nikki McClure.
Ten percent of proceeds from all SUBject/subJECT art sales will go to the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Center, dedicated to providing permanent, supportive housing and a safe and healthy community for homeless women.
A closing event will be held on Saturday, May 8, featuring performances and more.

We are releasing a very limited amount of Ben Scanlon prints that were featured in the exhibition, A Furious Heartbeat last month. Modern Multiples did a beautiful job creating these giclee prints. Here are a few words from Ben about the story behind them:
"The images depicted in these prints represent the genocide of Native Americans and the bleaching of the native culture through the sheer force of European domination.
Antonino D'Ambrosio's book The Making of Bitter Tears introduced me to the protest album (namesake of the book) that Johnny Cash made in the 1960s. Johnny Cash sang about the tragic Native Americans history as they suffered death, slavery, disease and war after European colonization. Listening to johnny Cash's album inspired me to re-discover the history of the Native American struggle, which still continues today."
