January 7, 2024(1 event) Window Dressing - SELLING THE NEW NORMALJanuary 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. Art Gallery Window |

January 16, 2024(7 events) Window Dressing - SELLING THE NEW NORMALJanuary 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.

Window Dressing - IGNORANT THREADSJanuary 21, 2024 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.

Window Dressing - IGNORANT THREADSJanuary 24, 2024 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.

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.

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.
