The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) is pleased to present Work from Home, an exhibition whose title plays on a phrase, now so saturated into everyday life, that it might as well signal society’s entrance into an age of permanent volatility. On view are paintings, sculptures, performances, and mixed media pieces by twenty-four recent graduates of the School of Art’s programs in Photography & Media and Art & Technology. This cohort of grads will inaugurate the mission of CalArt’s new satellite location at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles, a gallery that aims to give recent students a wider context in which to share their work and build community. While the transition into post-graduate life is challenging in its own right, this cohort has succeeded in sustaining practices not only amid historic political upheaval but also at a time when expressions like shelter-in-place and evacuation orders increasingly feel like part of life’s minutiae. Work from Home, then, does not just name something quite literal about the works on view, it likewise underscores the extraordinary circumstances under which the show as a whole came into being. Like temporal markers, the works record the creativity of Los Angeles at an historic flash point.
