Window Dressing - SELLING THE NEW NORMAL
January 7, 2024
Gina M.
SELLING THE NEW NORMAL
Jan 7 – Jan 20, 2024
Laid out like a storefront display, Gina M.’s Window Dressing installation, Selling the New Normal, features pieces
resembling familiar elements from a classic American classroom, with bright primary colors, blinking lights,
chalkboards on the wall, and a patriotic desk supporting a tower of colorful blocks. The sculptures playfully
introduce children to a horrific new normal. Look closer. The poem on the American Alphabet reads, “A, begins
Assault Rifle, a weapon of war. B, is for Bullet, that shoots through a door.” The soft sound of children's songs plays
in the background. Meanwhile, fragments of police radio chatter and breaking news bites drift in intermittently,
overpowering the songs, only to fade back afterward. With America's safety protocols in place, the media's
modulating repetition of horrific facts, and the ever-increasing frequency of domestic terrorism, gun violence in
America is normalized. Selling the New Normal renders the invisible visible, revealing the apathy and indifference
toward the emotional well-being and security of the next generation. Each piece in the series reflects a sardonic
commentary on the subconscious conditioning of America's children, which normalizes domestic terrorism, while
demanding that they simply “deal with it!”
Describing her practice as “whimsy with a dark side,” Gina M. is a sculptor, painter, and found-object assemblage artist using seemingly
innocent childhood imagery (like teddy bears, toys, puppets and games) to create reactionary expressions of her inner emotional life. As the
child of puppet theater operators, nurtured by puppets and their puppeteers, she developed an affinity for the anthropomorphic, which
ultimately helped her cope with and accept the divorce and divide of her family. In college, she studied interior design and color theory at
the Fashion Institute of Design, and studio arts at Pasadena City College. She worked on Kent Twitchell’s Colorado One Mural Project, and
received private training in painted trompe l'oeil, faux finish, and decorative wall treatments. Her work has been exhibited at Gallery 825,
Blue Roof Studios, the Irvine Fine Arts Center, El Camino College Art Gallery, MOAH at the Lancaster Museum of Art, Orange County Center
for Contemporary Art, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and the Boone Family Gallery at Pasadena City College. Her solo
exhibition, Through the Toyshop and Behind the Curtain, was featured at the Huntley Gallery at Cal State Pomona College.

Window Dressing - SELLING THE NEW NORMAL
January 16, 2024
Gina M.
SELLING THE NEW NORMAL
Jan 7 – Jan 20, 2024
Laid out like a storefront display, Gina M.’s Window Dressing installation, Selling the New Normal, features pieces
resembling familiar elements from a classic American classroom, with bright primary colors, blinking lights,
chalkboards on the wall, and a patriotic desk supporting a tower of colorful blocks. The sculptures playfully
introduce children to a horrific new normal. Look closer. The poem on the American Alphabet reads, “A, begins
Assault Rifle, a weapon of war. B, is for Bullet, that shoots through a door.” The soft sound of children's songs plays
in the background. Meanwhile, fragments of police radio chatter and breaking news bites drift in intermittently,
overpowering the songs, only to fade back afterward. With America's safety protocols in place, the media's
modulating repetition of horrific facts, and the ever-increasing frequency of domestic terrorism, gun violence in
America is normalized. Selling the New Normal renders the invisible visible, revealing the apathy and indifference
toward the emotional well-being and security of the next generation. Each piece in the series reflects a sardonic
commentary on the subconscious conditioning of America's children, which normalizes domestic terrorism, while
demanding that they simply “deal with it!”
Describing her practice as “whimsy with a dark side,” Gina M. is a sculptor, painter, and found-object assemblage artist using seemingly
innocent childhood imagery (like teddy bears, toys, puppets and games) to create reactionary expressions of her inner emotional life. As the
child of puppet theater operators, nurtured by puppets and their puppeteers, she developed an affinity for the anthropomorphic, which
ultimately helped her cope with and accept the divorce and divide of her family. In college, she studied interior design and color theory at
the Fashion Institute of Design, and studio arts at Pasadena City College. She worked on Kent Twitchell’s Colorado One Mural Project, and
received private training in painted trompe l'oeil, faux finish, and decorative wall treatments. Her work has been exhibited at Gallery 825,
Blue Roof Studios, the Irvine Fine Arts Center, El Camino College Art Gallery, MOAH at the Lancaster Museum of Art, Orange County Center
for Contemporary Art, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, and the Boone Family Gallery at Pasadena City College. Her solo
exhibition, Through the Toyshop and Behind the Curtain, was featured at the Huntley Gallery at Cal State Pomona College.

Holly Perez
IGNORANT THREADS
Jan 21 – Feb 3, 2024
A number of obvious distinctions exist between the typical storefront window display and the humble backyard
clothesline: dream vs reality, new vs used, universal vs individual. Holly Perez’s Window Dressing installation,
Ignorant Threads, explores the paradoxical ambiguities that hover between these distinct polarities. A string of
flannel shirts spans the entire length of the window display, each clipped to a rope clothesline stretched between
makeshift poles held up by simple cement bricks. Each flannel shirt contains a boldly-painted phrase, written in
white house paint, exemplifying past stereotypes, judgements, and ignorant comments hurled at, and projected
onto, the artist, and many other women as well. For Perez, as a brown-skinned Chicana woman working to escape
the molds of what it is to be feminine, these flannels act as a kind of skin; skin that has taken on the role of the
protector, absorbing those painful verbal blows.
Holly Perez is a multimedia artist using her own real-life experiences of trauma as a semiotic framework to explore issues of cultural toxicity,
in particular within her own community, including alcoholism, abuse, and excessive consumption. Arguments and conversations become
fodder for confrontational reflections on issues that plague society, while objects, textures, and colors operate as stand-ins for familiar
situations in need of unpacking. Her artwork seeks to create a physical and mental safe space not just for herself, but for any that can relate
to her experiences. Perez holds a degree from Mt. San Antonio College, a BFA from Cal State Fullerton in Drawing and Painting, and a MFA
from Claremont Graduate University. She currently serves as faculty at Santa Monica College and Long Beach College, and as an Art Leader
at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona.

fodder for confrontational reflections on issues that plague society, while objects, textures, and colors operate as stand-ins for familiar
situations in need of unpacking. Her artwork seeks to create a physical and mental safe space not just for herself, but for any that can relate
to her experiences. Perez holds a degree from Mt. San Antonio College, a BFA from Cal State Fullerton in Drawing and Painting, and a MFA
from Claremont Graduate University. She currently serves as faculty at Santa Monica College and Long Beach College, and as an Art Leader

IGNORANT THREADS
Jan 21 – Feb 3, 2024
A number of obvious distinctions exist between the typical storefront window display and the humble backyard
clothesline: dream vs reality, new vs used, universal vs individual. Holly Perez’s Window Dressing installation,
Ignorant Threads, explores the paradoxical ambiguities that hover between these distinct polarities. A string of
flannel shirts spans the entire length of the window display, each clipped to a rope clothesline stretched between
makeshift poles held up by simple cement bricks. Each flannel shirt contains a boldly-painted phrase, written in
white house paint, exemplifying past stereotypes, judgements, and ignorant comments hurled at, and projected
onto, the artist, and many other women as well. For Perez, as a brown-skinned Chicana woman working to escape
the molds of what it is to be feminine, these flannels act as a kind of skin; skin that has taken on the role of the
protector, absorbing those painful verbal blows.

onto, the artist, and many other women as well. For Perez, as a brown-skinned Chicana woman working to escape
the molds of what it is to be feminine, these flannels act as a kind of skin; skin that has taken on the role of the
protector, absorbing those painful verbal blows.
Holly Perez is a multimedia artist using her own real-life experiences of trauma as a semiotic framework to explore issues of cultural toxicity,
in particular within her own community, including alcoholism, abuse, and excessive consumption. Arguments and conversations become
fodder for confrontational reflections on issues that plague society, while objects, textures, and colors operate as stand-ins for familiar
situations in need of unpacking. Her artwork seeks to create a physical and mental safe space not just for herself, but for any that can relate
to her experiences. Perez holds a degree from Mt. San Antonio College, a BFA from Cal State Fullerton in Drawing and Painting, and a MFA
from Claremont Graduate University. She currently serves as faculty at Santa Monica College and Long Beach College, and as an Art Leader
at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona.

IGNORANT THREADS
Jan 21 – Feb 3, 2024
A number of obvious distinctions exist between the typical storefront window display and the humble backyard
clothesline: dream vs reality, new vs used, universal vs individual. Holly Perez’s Window Dressing installation,
Ignorant Threads, explores the paradoxical ambiguities that hover between these distinct polarities. A string of
flannel shirts spans the entire length of the window display, each clipped to a rope clothesline stretched between
makeshift poles held up by simple cement bricks. Each flannel shirt contains a boldly-painted phrase, written in
white house paint, exemplifying past stereotypes, judgements, and ignorant comments hurled at, and projected
onto, the artist, and many other women as well. For Perez, as a brown-skinned Chicana woman working to escape
the molds of what it is to be feminine, these flannels act as a kind of skin; skin that has taken on the role of the
protector, absorbing those painful verbal blows.
