AT THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

Reception: Saturday, 19 July 7 - 10PM

Gallery Five Thirty Three is pleased to present At the Middle of Nowhere. The exhibition runs from July 19th to August 16th, with a reception for the artists on Saturday, July 19th from 7-10PM

To exist at the middle of nowhere brings solace to some and distress to others. Each artist in this exhibition bends, stretches, and portrays relationships to familiar surroundings in unique ways, either transferring the viewer to a space of ease and contentment or leaving them with no footing at all.

Joshua Clay: Un autre Monde
Also showing in our project room:
Erik Siador & Jose “Emroca” Flores: Royals & Crocodiles

July 11 – August 1, 2008
Opening Reception: Friday, July 11, 7-11PMJoshua Clay was born on a cloudy February day in 1983. He is a fine artist in the purest sense of the word, seeking perfection in every aspect of his craft without the use of computers, stencils or projectors. The work that Clay creates some would label Illustrative, Lowbrow or even as Pop Surrealism, but to him, it’s his voice in its purest form, untainted by established expectations of what “Fine Art” should look like.

Sunshine, barbecue, and fireworks will keep you busy and offer a fun-filled day; but what about the rest of the week? For those of you looking to wind down after a heat-filled Independence Day, LA’s art selection is definitely worth checking out. There are a lot of free events in the city as well as those worth the admission fee of a couple George Washingtons. Read below for more information about “Prison Nation,” “Exposed Cities,” “Ironings performed by Mung Lar Lam,” and “When the Sun Shines, It Does Not Need Proof.” With a selection like this, how can your long weekend not be celebration-worthy?

Prison Nation: Posters on the Prison Industrial Complex: A darker look at our nation, this gallery focuses on the fact that the U.S. has the largest prison population in the world – over 2.3 million – and California has been increasing the number of prisons to accommodate the over 170,000 inmates here. “Prison Nation” unfurls critical issues surrounding our overzealous system of mass incarceration – conspiracy provisions, dysfunctional parole systems, and inadequate legal representation to name a few.

JUDITH LIEBE
“PANDORA’S BOX - Transformation of a Woman”
July 10 – 27, 2008
Opening Reception: July 10, 7 – 10 PM

“Provocative Love, seductive Love, hopeless Love.  Liebe’s images of women reflect triumph, power, loneliness and pain.”
-David Glover, Curator

German artist Judith Liebe returns to Los Angeles with her most striking U.S. show yet. Focused on ‘the fearless Female’, which Liebe marries images of the female body, fashion as well as erotic media, created in the form of photo collage, as well as paintings of nudes, both brazen and unapologetic, with a direct connection to the poetic.

As in her earlier works, women take the center stage. The body remains the focal point of all forms of love.
