(Los Angeles, CA) – We are delighted to introduce PRJCTLA @ CMAY Gallery, a collaborative gallery initiative spearheaded by May Chung (CMay Gallery) and Carl Berg (PRJCTLA). The gallery will be curated by Carl Berg and is situated near the Los Angeles County Museum at CMAY Gallery's current Wilshire Boulevard location. The inaugural exhibition for this new partnership will showcase the work of Los Angeles-based artist China Adams in a solo exhibition titled “Concrete & Revolutions. Adams’ Concrete & Revolutions brings together two distinct yet interconnected bodies of work: intricate drawings of repeated organic revolutions and sculpture built from discarded freeway concrete and the artist’s own detritus. The work invites contemplation on the movement of time, the power of repetition, and transformation of the mundane. Rendered through similar, repeated gestures, Adams ’intricate drawings, reflect on rhythm, time, and a creative mark making process that unfolds in reaction to each previous gesture. Her meticulous organic forms invite consideration on relentless repetition and the willingness to engage time at a slow, studied pace. Using discarded concrete fragments and personal cast-offs, Adams ’sculpture gives new life to discarded materials. The various materials, imbued with their own history and meaning, are transformed into objects that evoke a sense of rebirth, albeit awkward, even monstrous new forms of life.
