Angels Gate Cultural Center will bring together two curators for the third quarter of 2019’s Curatorial Takeover. Marcia Moore’s On the Brink will be featured in the downstairs gallery in Building A, while and Jared Baxter’s Todo en ti fue naufragio will be featured upstairs. On the Brink, Marcia Moore BRINK: 1. The edge or margin of a steep place or land bordering water. 2. Any extreme edge. 3. A crucial or critical point especially of a situation or state beyond which success or catastrophe occurs. Angels Gate Cultural Center helped to inspire Moore’s exhibition, as the center sits “on the brink” both literally and figuratively, perched on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific, and breaking new ground in the arts. On the Brink showcases the work of two artists, Angel King and Everett Babcock, both of whom explore the edges of tension, trauma, beauty and social consciousness. Todo en ti Fue Naufragio, Jared Baxter Taking its title from a line from a Pablo Neruda poem, which literally translates to “everything about you was shipwreck,” the group exhibition will examine both literal and figurative vessels, and their relationship to rupture and remembrance, disaster and struggle. Featuring new and previously-exhibited works by a range of LA-based, national, and international artists, the artworks on display reveal narratives of life and death on the water, allowing for reflection on the cataclysm of the present moment, as a kind of siren song and prophetic mourning. The artists featured in this exhibition include: Sarah Cain, The Distance Plan with Oliver Kellhammer, Greg Lindquist, K. Flint, and Gabriela Salazar, Patricia Fernández, Liz Glynn, Amy Howden-Chapman, Olga Koumoundouros, Karen Lofgren, Matana Roberts.
