Loren LeBlanc
IMPOSSIBLE BINARIES
Feb 18 – Mar 2, 2024
Loren LeBlanc’s Window Dressing installation, Impossible Binaries, consists of a surreal arrangement of four lifesized
figurative sculptures constructed entirely by hand using a 3D printing pen and accentuated with hand-picked
dried floral ornamentation. Seeming to defy gravity, these dynamic forms are presented in various evocative
gestural poses as a means of exploring personal truths built around a future-focused curiosity and nuanced
historical interrogation of the artist’s own lived experience as a young black creative living in contemporary
America.
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.
Employing a unique self-taught approach, he fuses handheld 3D printing pen technology with traditional clay sculpting techniques
seamlessly, creating intricate, evocative, life-sized figures.

Window Dressing - CON EL NOPAL EN LA FRENTE
March 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.

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.

Window Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION
March 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.

capacities to create when in survival mode and make visible the marks and burns of struggle and imperfection.

Window Dressing - AN INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSMISSION

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.

Window Dressing - WHAT DOES HE OWE US?
March 31, 2024
Nancy Buchanan
WHAT DOES HE OWE US?
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.
