Ochi Projects is pleased to present an artist walkthrough of Johanna Breiding's show, Souvenir. Breiding will be in conversation with Jennifer Moon. Johanna Breiding works in photography, drawing, video, and collaboration to represent subjects that are marked deviant or illegible, and to experiment with forms of world-making that offer an alternative to state- sanctioned legitimation. Breiding attended Scripps College, the Glasgow School of Art and received her Masters from CalArts. She has exhibited work at art venues and museums including Photo LA (Los Angeles), LAXART (Los Angeles), Human Resources (Los Angeles), Elga Wimmer Gallery (New York), the Armory Center for the Arts (Pasadena), Southern Exposure (San Francisco), the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (Berkeley), the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco) and the Oakland Museum of California (Oakland). She is a recipient of the 2017 Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant. Originally from a small village in Switzerland, Johanna Breiding currently lives and works in Los Angeles where she has been teaching at SFAI, CalArts and Scripps College over the past few years. Jennifer Moon is an interdisciplinary life-artist whose work investigates organizing systems (social systems, institutional structures, power relations, scientific theories, emotional frameworks, etc.) and how these various systems are entangled, inscribed, transmitted, performed, and perpetuated through bodies (human, nonhuman, material, immaterial). Playfully pushing unlikely configurations–a book of Moon’s obsessive crushes in the style of Dungeon & Dragons Monster Manual; approaching the topic of incest with their family in a virtual world; repurposing Disney songs to inspire revolution–Moon’s work mobilizes potential to reconfigure our relationship to power, to reignite the social and political imaginaries, and to stimulate change beyond binaries, hierarchies, and capital. ***** Ochi Projects is pleased to present an exhibition walkthrough for Conrad Ruíz show, Black, Red and Deadly.
