Artist Leslie Garcia performance and talk at Fulcrum Arts x LACE


Artist Leslie Garcia performance and talk at Fulcrum Arts x LACE

March 19, 2023 | 1 – 3 pm
Cinelounge Sunset, 6464 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028

Fulcrum Arts and LACE present an afternoon performance and conversation with artist Leslie Garcia.

Leslie Garcia is a current artist-in-residence for Fulcrum Arts’ Incubator and a researcher for LACE’s 2024 Pacific Standard Time exhibition, Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics. During this special event Garcia will perform Medium, a compositional piece based on her work with transient hypofrontality tools, which investigates the effects of sound on the material state of consciousness and the ability of psychoacoustic processes to trigger alternate states of perception and temporality. 

After the performance, Garcia will be joined by curator Daniela Lieja Quintanar to discuss their work together for Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics. This project revisits the collaborative artistic practice of the late Beatriz da Costa (1974-2012) as an investigation into technoscientific experimentation, politics, activism, and art-making, contextualized for our contemporary moment. Da Costa’s unique models of inter- and un-disciplinary public interventions, workshops, and critical writing foreground and amplify the ongoing social struggles for sustaining life. Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics explores how da Costa’s deep reflections on life and extinction, health and wellness, environmental issues, cancer and chronic illness, socio-political autonomy, and interspecies cohabitation remain relevant to our societal issues at hand today.

“A Tender Excavation” approaches research-base “A Tender Excavation” approaches research-based artistic practices through propositions of alternative histories, bringing together a group of artists who work with historical and familial photographic archives as a point of departure to construct new narratives and elicit transformation.

LACE is thrilled to introduce three of the artists featured in the exhibition...

❥ Jamil G Baldwin (@juh_mile) was born in Lancaster, CA and raised in and across the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. Baldwin’s work explores the ability of the photographic document to reconstitute the histories of images and material into value systems of care.

❥ Camille Wong (@camillexwong) is a research-based artist living in Los Angeles, CA. Their practice examines power, geopolitics, and historiography through the lens of media and spectacle. They approach the gaze of ethnography by authoring the personal into the world through experimental documentary.

❥ Artemisa Clark (@bustilacaca) is a multidisciplinary artist from Los Angeles. She received a MA in performance studies from Northwestern University in 2016 and a MFA in visual arts from the University of California, San Diego in 2015. She has exhibited and presented research in spaces such as MOCA, The Hammer, the Mexican Consulate, the Vincent Price Art Museum, and more.
