Loren LeBlanc is an emerging figurative multimedia sculptor currently based in Inglewood, CA. He holds a BA in Studio Art and Economics from Cal Poly Humboldt in Northern California and a MA in Illustration from Arts University of Bournemouth in the south of England.

Window Dressing - CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTEWindow Dressing - CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTEMarch 3, 2024 Nube Cruz CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTE Mar 3 – Mar 16, 2024 Nube Cruz’s Window Dressing installation, Con El Nopal En La Frente (With the Nopal on the Forehead), is a physical manifestation of their ongoing exploration of Nopal Futurity, an art practice that (re)mixes older indigenous technologies and the idea of Indigenous Futurity with a cuir/queer indigena perspective. Recognizing that Amerindigenous peoples have already been living in a post-apocalyptic world since 1492, Cruz’s work seeks to activate the potential for contemporary liberation through the historical reconstruction, and innovative development, of (new) Indigena cosmologies. By excavating the historical invisibility of native people’s advancement of, and contribution to, the technologies of modern society, Cruz hopes to disrupt the standard Western modernist narrative in order to rematriate, retrieve, and reconstruct images and obliterate the borders, legalities, histories, objects, resources, and bodies that have otherwise been co-opted by the colonial gaze. Through sculpture, photography, and performative video documentation, invoking what they call ‘indigie-archivist research,’ their installation will begin the necessary conversation on how the possibilities and potentialities of indigenous futures might be engaged and activated. Nube Cruz is and artist and activist currently completing their BFA degree at UCLA. They have exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, including We Are Made of the Earth, Our Skin Says So at A+R+T Gallery in Los Angeles, The Aesthetics of Undocumentedness at Dalton Gallery in Altanta, and The Latinx Project at NYU in New York. The have been a Native American Arts Grantee through the San Francisco Queer Arts Foundation and Galereria de la Raza and have served as an assistant researcher on the UCLA Indigenous Mapping Project. They also work transnationally with indigenous activists in Mexico. Art Gallery Window |

Recognizing that Amerindigenous peoples have already been living in a post-apocalyptic world since 1492, Cruz’s work seeks to activate the potential for contemporary liberation through the historical reconstruction, and innovative development, of (new) Indigena cosmologies. By excavating the historical invisibility of native people’s advancement of, and contribution to, the technologies of modern society, Cruz hopes to disrupt the standard Western modernist narrative in order to rematriate, retrieve, and reconstruct images and obliterate the borders, legalities, histories, objects, resources, and bodies that have otherwise been co-opted by the colonial gaze. Through sculpture, photography, and performative video documentation, invoking what they call ‘indigie-archivist research,’ their installation will begin the necessary conversation on how the possibilities and potentialities of indigenous futures might be engaged and activated. Nube Cruz is and artist and activist currently completing their BFA degree at UCLA. They have exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, including We Are Made of the Earth, Our Skin Says So at A+R+T Gallery in Los Angeles, The Aesthetics of Undocumentedness at Dalton Gallery in Altanta, and The Latinx Project at NYU in New York.

Window Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSIONWindow Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSIONMarch 17, 2024 Teresa Flores AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION Mar 17 – Mar 30, 2024 Teresa Flores is a multidisciplinary artist who explores connections between her Chicana identity and the notion of the California Dream. Through drawing, painting, video, and social practice Flores explores the ways generations of colonialism and assimilation in California have affected families like her own, who can trace their ancestor’s migration along the Pacific coast for generations. In exploring food and movement, collective art making and nurturing, Flores seeks innovative avenues of expression and pathways to healing. Her Window Dressing installation, An Intergenerational Transmission, consists of both window signage and a video presentation. The window signage is constructed from readymade LED neon wiring, wood, nails and hot glue. The sign, which spells out the words We Can Make Our Own, references the idea of collective autonomy and the economics of the Los Angeles artist tradition of the neon sign. The piece is based on a smaller 2017 LED neon sign and fully embraces the makeshift Chicanx practice of rasquachismo by not trying to hide imperfections in the construction process of the sign. Tortilla Burning is a durational video from 2007 that focuses on a single tortilla burning on a stove over a twenty minute period. The burning tortilla is a reflection on colonialism and assimilation in California. The video was created in remembrance of the time the artist’s grandmother spent in the child foster care system in Southern California in the early 1930s, where she was forced to cook and clean for her Mexican-American foster families while being abused and isolated for her indigeneity. Together, the two artworks celebrate humanity’s will to survive in the face of ferocious and shifting capitalist and imperialist world hegemony. They investigate our capacities to create when in survival mode and make visible the marks and burns of struggle and imperfection. East-LA based multimedia artist Teresa Flores is an inaugural Artist-in-Residence for the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Her drawings, paintings, videos, and social practice projects have been featured in Alta Journal, The New Yorker, and NPR and have been presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Spike Art Quarterly in Berlin, and Galería de la Raza in San Francisco. Flores has also exhibited with Dominique Gallery, Espacio 1839, and has been a featured artist in the annual Venice Family Clinic Art Walk and Auction. Flores studied drawing and painting at Fresno State, original home of the feminist art movement, before receiving her Public Practice MFA from Otis College of Art and Design, where she earned the recognition of Outstanding Alumni.

Together, the two artworks celebrate humanity’s will to survive in the face of ferocious and shifting capitalist and imperialist world hegemony. They investigate our capacities to create when in survival mode and make visible the marks and burns of struggle and imperfection. East-LA based multimedia artist Teresa Flores is an inaugural Artist-in-Residence for the Dolores Huerta Foundation. Her drawings, paintings, videos, and social practice projects have been featured in Alta Journal, The New Yorker, and NPR and have been presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Spike Art Quarterly in Berlin, and Galería de la Raza in San Francisco. Flores has also exhibited with Dominique Gallery, Espacio 1839, and has been a featured artist in the annual Venice Family Clinic Art Walk and Auction. Flores studied drawing and painting at Fresno State, original home of the feminist art movement, before receiving her Public Practice MFA from Otis College of Art and Design, where she earned the recognition of Outstanding Alumni.

Window Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSIONWindow Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSIONMarch 24, 2024 Teresa Flores AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION Mar 17 – Mar 30, 2024 Teresa Flores is a multidisciplinary artist who explores connections between her Chicana identity and the notion of the California Dream. Through drawing, painting, video, and social practice Flores explores the ways generations of colonialism and assimilation in California have affected families like her own, who can trace their ancestor’s migration along the Pacific coast for generations. In exploring food and movement, collective art making and nurturing, Flores seeks innovative avenues of expression and pathways to healing. Her Window Dressing installation, An Intergenerational Transmission, consists of both window signage and a video presentation. The window signage is constructed from readymade LED neon wiring, wood, nails and hot glue. The sign, which spells out the words We Can Make Our Own, references the idea of collective autonomy and the economics of the Los Angeles artist tradition of the neon sign. The piece is based on a smaller 2017 LED neon sign and fully embraces the makeshift Chicanx practice of rasquachismo by not trying to hide imperfections in the construction process of the sign. Tortilla Burning is a durational video from 2007 that focuses on a single tortilla burning on a stove over a twenty minute period. The burning tortilla is a reflection on colonialism and assimilation in California. The video was created in remembrance of the time the artist’s grandmother spent in the child foster care system in Southern California in the early 1930s, where she was forced to cook and clean for her Mexican-American foster families while being abused and isolated for her indigeneity.

Mar 31 – Apr 13, 2024 During the 2020 presidential race, Nancy Buchanan collected mailers that were sent to her friends solicitating donations for the then-president’s re-election campaign. For her Window Dressing installation, What Does He Owe Us?, she stitched together these printed forms and envelopes and then painted over them to create large-scale murals depicting iconic symbols associated with the greed and boorishness of the Trump presidency: a gilded coronation carriage and an oozing hamburger. Nancy Buchanan is a conceptual artist working in many forms; her performance works began in 1972, when she was a member of the infamous F Space Gallery in Santa Ana, CA; her earliest videotapes were recorded on open-reel Portapacks; and she also produces installations, drawings, and mixed-media work. She assisted activist Michael Zinzun with his cable access program Message to the Grassroots from 1988-1998 and traveled to Namibia to document that country’s independence from South Africa. Buchanan’s work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Centre Pompidou, and the Getty Research Institute (where her papers and video works are archived). Buchanan is the recipient of four National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist grants, a COLA grant, and a Rockefeller Fellowship in New Media. Her work was included in the 58th Carnegie International. Art Gallery Window |
