Without the possibility of individual thesis exhibitions, and while contending with the unknown and unknowable future of public art events at large, the CalArts Fine Art BFA cohort have organized a group exhibition, Affection Artifacts, to be held at Coaxial Arts Foundation from August 7th-22nd. Conceived as a teeming ecosystem, a set of lively conversations between work produced independently throughout the past year, the artists seek to reveal shared intimacies, dormant poetics, and new discursive paths by means of unanticipated proximity. Repositories of fantasy and memory - intimate, shared, dissonant, ecstatic - collide in an attempt to articulate all the ambivalent pleasures of sharing space with one another in times of extreme alienation. Please join us August 7th for an opening at 5 pm that will include food, drinks, and live music.
