Juan Gomez KEEPERS OF AFFLICTION
Sep 27 – Oct 9, 2021
Juan Gomez’s Keepers of Affliction marks the artist’s ongoing project to visualize the physical and emotional wounds that are inflicted on migrant families, as well as the generational traumas that are also brought to bear upon their descendants. By surfacing, however abstractly, the suffering and loss that comes with geographic and cultural displacement, Gomez hopes to also present art itself as a powerful curative and artmaking, therefore, as an act of redemption and healing. As is often the case in the immigrant experience, personal suffering can too easily be accepted as just a part of the process, forcing the scars of trauma into a suppressed state, only to have them return as further forms of trauma down the line. Both catharsis and cure, Keepers of Affliction presents this repressed suffering as material manifestations of memory, complete with ‘injuries’ made from cotton rounds that are covered with illustrations of scarified keloidal tissue. In doing so, it recognizes that discomfort is a natural reaction to displacement and the embrace of such feelings, rather than their outright rejection, can actually operate as a collective salve, leading ultimately to healthier forms of adaptation and cultural evolution across generations. An exhibition of remembrance, devastation, and emancipation, the installation unites a series of fifteen of these abstract memory objects, each representing the artist’s own immigrant family’s experience of migration (and epigenetic transmigration). Individually, each object holds within it a lineage of struggle, sacrifice, and prosperity. Together, they present a pattern that bonds each to the other, a decentralized network that gives voice to the voiceless and, ideally, heals the very wounds that have been laid bare.
Juan Gomez is a Santa Ana and Long Beach-based mixed-media artist. His work has been exhibited in solo shows at Greenly Art Space and Magoski Art Colony and in group exhibitions at Flatline Gallery, Flux Art Space, SoLA Contemporary, the Huntington Beach Art Center, Irvine Fine Arts Center, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art. He holds a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Cal State Fullerton.
WINDOW DRESSING is an annual cycle of short-term installations in the window vitrine on the exterior of the Fine Arts Building. Individual installations run for two weeks only.
Due to Covid restrictions, during the Fall semester the Cerritos College Art Gallery's Main Gallery will be closed, however, the Window Dressing installations can be viewed safely from outside in the open air (all visitors must remain masked and maintain proper social distance).

MACHINAL is a 1928 play by American playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell, inspired by the real-life case of convicted and executed murderer Ruth Snyder. It is considered one of the highpoints of Expressionist theatre on the American stage.
SYNOPSIS: A young woman works as a low-level stenographer and lives with her mother. She follows the rituals that society expects of a woman, however resistant she may feel about them. She subsequently marries her boss, whom she finds repulsive. After having a baby with him, she has an affair with a younger man who fuels her lust for life. Driven to murder her husband, she is convicted of the crime and is executed in the electric chair.

Juan Gomez’s Keepers of Affliction marks the artist’s ongoing project to visualize the physical and emotional wounds that are inflicted on migrant families, as well as the generational traumas that are also brought to bear upon their descendants. By surfacing, however abstractly, the suffering and loss that comes with geographic and cultural displacement, Gomez hopes to also present art itself as a powerful curative and artmaking, therefore, as an act of redemption and healing. As is often the case in the immigrant experience, personal suffering can too easily be accepted as just a part of the process, forcing the scars of trauma into a suppressed state, only to have them return as further forms of trauma down the line. Both catharsis and cure, Keepers of Affliction presents this repressed suffering as material manifestations of memory, complete with ‘injuries’ made from cotton rounds that are covered with illustrations of scarified keloidal tissue. In doing so, it recognizes that discomfort is a natural reaction to displacement and the embrace of such feelings, rather than their outright rejection, can actually operate as a collective salve, leading ultimately to healthier forms of adaptation and cultural evolution across generations. An exhibition of remembrance, devastation, and emancipation, the installation unites a series of fifteen of these abstract memory objects, each representing the artist’s own immigrant family’s experience of migration (and epigenetic transmigration). Individually, each object holds within it a lineage of struggle, sacrifice, and prosperity. Together, they present a pattern that bonds each to the other, a decentralized network that gives voice to the voiceless and, ideally, heals the very wounds that have been laid bare.
Juan Gomez is a Santa Ana and Long Beach-based mixed-media artist. His work has been exhibited in solo shows at Greenly Art Space and Magoski Art Colony and in group exhibitions at Flatline Gallery, Flux Art Space, SoLA Contemporary, the Huntington Beach Art Center, Irvine Fine Arts Center, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art. He holds a BFA in Painting and Drawing from Cal State Fullerton.
WINDOW DRESSING is an annual cycle of short-term installations in the window vitrine on the exterior of the Fine Arts Building. Individual installations run for two weeks only.
Due to Covid restrictions, during the Fall semester the Cerritos College Art Gallery's Main Gallery will be closed, however, the Window Dressing installations can be viewed safely from outside in the open air (all visitors must remain masked and maintain proper social distance).
October marks the beginning of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). In addition to the workshops being hosted, Falcon Safe has partnered with Falcon’s Nest to host a donation drive throughout the month of October (1-31) to collect vital items to be distributed to Cerritos College students via the Falcon’s Nest. All donations will be accepted, but the most essential and sought-after items are undergarments (e.g. sports bras, boxers/briefs, panties, etc.).

MACHINAL is a 1928 play by American playwright and journalist Sophie Treadwell, inspired by the real-life case of convicted and executed murderer Ruth Snyder. It is considered one of the highpoints of Expressionist theatre on the American stage.
SYNOPSIS: A young woman works as a low-level stenographer and lives with her mother. She follows the rituals that society expects of a woman, however resistant she may feel about them. She subsequently marries her boss, whom she finds repulsive. After having a baby with him, she has an affair with a younger man who fuels her lust for life. Driven to murder her husband, she is convicted of the crime and is executed in the electric chair.

Jason Jenn A FIELD GUIDE TO THE TIMELESSNESS OF NOW
Oct 11 – Oct 23, 2021
Jason Jenn’s a field guide to the timelessness of now is a site-specific installation created from a process of carefully gathering leaves and other plant items from the local environment close to the exhibition site. They are dried and painted with metallic leaf in different patterns, then arranged into custom geometric forms reminiscent of mandalas. They are pinned to the wall, or attached to other materials, based on site-specific conditions. For this new installation at the Cerritos College Art Gallery, Jenn will intuitively create a series of unique shapes and designs to fit the space of the display window. In advance of the installation, Jenn will visit the campus and local community to gather natural materials and return to the studio to adapt for use. There is always an element of surprise that emerges from the process based on the conditions of each location. As Jenn points out, humanity these days is quite disconnected from the natural environment. By creating mandalas, historically meant for spiritual reflection and focus, out of the very natural materials from the surrounding environment, the artist hopes to re-establish a connection between the natural world, the gallery space, and the viewer. Despite its meager size, the complex structure of a leaf is a thing of beauty in and of itself. It inspires many meanings and possibilities. Even in death, the dried form is intimately connected with life. As part of nature's sublime cycle, it will return to the earth via decomposition to feed other forms of life. The metallic leaf on the leaves (a knowing pun) reminds the viewer of nature's divinity and echoes the use of precious metals in holy items throughout numerous cultures. Jenn encourages and invites viewers to develop a unique relationship with these mandalas, whatever form that may take. Whether one slows down to admire the details or has a quick moment to take a selfie, each possesses its own particular merits in this context as both are reinserting themselves into a symbolic reconnection with and appreciation of nature.
Jason Jenn is an interdisciplinary multimedia artist, with various roles as performer, writer, visual artist, director, producer, designer, curator, and video editor. He creates for exhibition on stage, on screen, on the page, in galleries, and at site-specific locations. Selected performance highlights include Ecstasy for Everyone at Vashon Center for the Arts, Rear Opening: A Performance Tribute to the Gutter Art of Stephen Varble at One Archives, and Temptations in Fairyland at Moah:Cedar. Recent curatorial projects and gallery exhibitions include Sanctuary of the Aftermath at Angel’s Gate Cultural Center, Even Sparkles Have Shadows at the Torrance Art Museum, and What Is It About trees at El Camino College Art Gallery. Jenn holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film & Media Production and Theater Arts from the University of Iowa.

Popol Vuh: Epic of Origins
In this presentation, Popol Vuh will be introduced with a focus on a segment of the Mayan epic that features the journey of the Hero Twins who engage the Lords of Xibalba in a life-or-death game that resembles modern-day soccer. The presentation will include some cultural background about the Maya and historical information about the text. A reading from the Popol Vuh will serve as a launching point for discussion about significant themes and narrative elements. Zoom

Jason Jenn A FIELD GUIDE TO THE TIMELESSNESS OF NOW
Oct 11 – Oct 23, 2021
Jason Jenn’s a field guide to the timelessness of now is a site-specific installation created from a process of carefully gathering leaves and other plant items from the local environment close to the exhibition site. They are dried and painted with metallic leaf in different patterns, then arranged into custom geometric forms reminiscent of mandalas. They are pinned to the wall, or attached to other materials, based on site-specific conditions. For this new installation at the Cerritos College Art Gallery, Jenn will intuitively create a series of unique shapes and designs to fit the space of the display window. In advance of the installation, Jenn will visit the campus and local community to gather natural materials and return to the studio to adapt for use. There is always an element of surprise that emerges from the process based on the conditions of each location. As Jenn points out, humanity these days is quite disconnected from the natural environment. By creating mandalas, historically meant for spiritual reflection and focus, out of the very natural materials from the surrounding environment, the artist hopes to re-establish a connection between the natural world, the gallery space, and the viewer. Despite its meager size, the complex structure of a leaf is a thing of beauty in and of itself. It inspires many meanings and possibilities. Even in death, the dried form is intimately connected with life. As part of nature's sublime cycle, it will return to the earth via decomposition to feed other forms of life. The metallic leaf on the leaves (a knowing pun) reminds the viewer of nature's divinity and echoes the use of precious metals in holy items throughout numerous cultures. Jenn encourages and invites viewers to develop a unique relationship with these mandalas, whatever form that may take. Whether one slows down to admire the details or has a quick moment to take a selfie, each possesses its own particular merits in this context as both are reinserting themselves into a symbolic reconnection with and appreciation of nature.
Jason Jenn is an interdisciplinary multimedia artist, with various roles as performer, writer, visual artist, director, producer, designer, curator, and video editor. He creates for exhibition on stage, on screen, on the page, in galleries, and at site-specific locations. Selected performance highlights include Ecstasy for Everyone at Vashon Center for the Arts, Rear Opening: A Performance Tribute to the Gutter Art of Stephen Varble at One Archives, and Temptations in Fairyland at Moah:Cedar. Recent curatorial projects and gallery exhibitions include Sanctuary of the Aftermath at Angel’s Gate Cultural Center, Even Sparkles Have Shadows at the Torrance Art Museum, and What Is It About trees at El Camino College Art Gallery.
