Nor Here Neither There

“Nor Here Neither There” spot in LACE’s May/June 1994 calendar

June 16 – July 27, 1994

An exhibition which critiqued the current conditions of artmaking in their particularities.

The title “Nor Here Neither There” might suggest the difficulty in assigning and encapsulating an exhibition with a title, a difficulty that has become the motor for the curatorial prerogative of this exhibition. The exhibition did not begin with an agenda nor did it arrive at one. This is not to suggest that the position occupied is ideologically wishy-washy. It is not meant to ride the fence but to respond to current conditions of art-making in their particularities. The artists include Doug Aitken, Tom Burr, Willie Cole, Stan Doulgas, Valie Export, Chris Finley, Suzanne Garrison, Ideal Copy, Sharon Lockhart, Mythter, Lorraine O’Grady, Spandau Parks, Cynthia Stewart, and Nari Ward. The show was curated by Charles Gaines, Paul McCarthy, Stephen Prina, and Fran Seegull.

The artists in exhibition are:

Doug Aitken, who will show a single channel video work, lives in New York.

Tom Burr, who will create a site specific installation using audio and the forms of documentary, lives in New York.

Willie Cole, who will show assemblage sculpture, live in New York.

Stan Douglas, who will exhibit a video projection and photographic installation, lives in Vancouver.

Chris Finley, who will exhibit sculpture, lives in Cotati, California.

Nari Ward, who will exhibit assemblage sculpture, lives in New York.

“Nor Here Neither There” is presented in the Peter Norton Family Gallery, the Fred and Janet Kessier Gallery, the Video gallery and the Performance gallery. Funding for this project was provided by the Cultural Affairs Department of the City of Los Angeles and the National Endowment for the Arts. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday 12-6 pm. A catalog will be published as a document of the exhibition later this summer.
