Los Angeles, CA - Coaxial Arts Foundation is thrilled to have Karla Ekatherine Canseco as our August 2022, Artist in Residence. In residency Karla Ekatherine Canseco will work with received words, interrupting songs, and all forms of impressions as she explores a collaboration with an old friend who is always becoming, eroded, excavated: la tierra, el barro. This clay will be found, though never lost, and quenched. Together we move, stain, and hold ourselves. Our many parts. We dance for one another. With open hearts, loud mouths, and dirty hands; one can join, watch, give Karla a hand or hug. Gallery Open Hours: Monday through Friday August 22-26 | 3-6pm Performance & Reception: Saturday, August 27 | 6pm-9pm Karla Ekatherine Canseco (b. 1995, San Fernando Valley, California) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Her practice explores the nuances of identity through different mediums, particularly clay and performance. Karla is interested in the potential that exists within factures that is often overlooked. She interrogates different aspects of acquired Body Knowledge; where the inheritance of epigenetics has become an access point to investigate the manipulation of a bodily container leaving behind its imprint. In making, she leaves impressions of her subjective history, but at the same time layers her work with speculation, lustrous becoming and the poetics that materialize into form. Here, within the landscape of clay, touch becomes an extension that grasps and holds her family’s ongoing systemic history. In this way, Karla’s work brings together; a beat, mixed, and magical body that collapses and subsumes conceptions of time and holds stories in the same manner clay transcribes through composition and impression.

Our mission is to facilitate a collective of artists that supports the community at large by running an art space where one can experience new work of experimental video, sound, and performance art under one roof. Started by artists for artists, Coaxial functions on a fundamental principle: to support working artists within an essential framework to promote and generate new works. By providing a range of services to underground artists, we are able to provide a safe space for artists to create, experiment, and explore topics that are often overlooked and seen as transgressive. We are one of the few organizations in Los Angeles that explicitly supports the creation of and presents video art and new multimedia works. In this position, we serve as a central hub for the community of artists dedicated to this type of production. Since opening our brick and mortar in 2015, Coaxial has provided numerous residencies, studio space, technical support, and public exhibition space to showcase underground artists. We focus on making and providing a space/forum for the creation of new projects, and further experimenting and pushing what art is and its purpose. This residency is supported by The National Endowment for the Arts and the Department of Cultural Affairs, Los Angeles.
