PJCTLA is hosting its second group of exhibitions this coming May 2021, featuring three Los Angeles based artists and one artist from Italy. The space has been open by appointment only due to the COVID pandemic but we hope to open with a more traditional schedule in the near future. Please contact us at prjctla@gmail.com to schedule an appointment to see the exhibitions. The gallery has been expanded providing additional areas in the rear of the building. We will thus be able to host concurrently larger group shows and multiple solo exhibitions. The new space will also include a dedicated projection room. PRJCTLA will continue to have a strong online presence on Instagram (@prjctla), on the gallery website (www.prjctla.com) and on a 3D platform that is accessible through the gallery’s website. The upcoming exhibitions will open on May 8 and run until June 5, 2021. ---------------- GALLERY ONE: WALSH AND YOUNG - KEITH WALSH AND KENT YOUNG The front gallery space will host a “dual solo exhibition” with Los Angeles based artists Keith Walsh and Kent Young. The show, titled Walsh and Young, does not revolve around a thematic approach but rather around the dynamic interaction, confrontation and dialogue of two artists’ works within a single space. ----------------- GALLERY TWO: AGAPITO MINIUCCHI: COLLAGES AND SCULPTURES The smaller project space will feature a solo exhibition of recently created collages (2021) and older sculptures by 97 year old renown Italian artist Agapito Miniucchi. Miniucchi, most known for his monumental sculptures, has a very diverse approach to his artistic oeuvre which includes sculpture, painting, ceramics, drawing, printmaking and collage. His newest collages are reminiscent of his earlier watercolors and ceramic plates in which he used simple yet powerful gestures to form stark and dynamic compositions. The featured sculptures are studies and often serve as maquettes for larger monumental works. --------------- GALLERY THREE: HK ZAMANI: PROTAGONISTS AND ERASURES (pictured) The third exhibition, in the new space of the gallery, will feature works by HK Zamani. Being more raw than the other spaces, the back gallery provides a less traditional look and different from the usual “white cube”. Zamani’s work engages this space perfectly, proving a wonderful dynamic between the art and its environment. Zamani’s new works, "Inadvertent Protagonists,” allow for an unpredictable shifting of possibilities and imaginings in a dialogue between painting and sculpture, as well as mirroring, through their various juxtapositions, the cultural duality and overlap that the artist brings to his work. His "Fashion Erasures" challenge class consciousness, standardization and expectation. The obscuring of found images cancels their conventional orthodoxies while embellishing and empowering them to suggest both their primal origins and a potential undiscovered future. ----------------- PRJCTLA is pleased to present a diverse range of exhibitions creating a collaborative relationship with artists and other exhibition spaces.
