SUMMARY:Larissa Hammond: the / a mind  the b mind
DESCRIPTION:the/a mind the b mind\, is a fully commissioned exhibit featuring four large scale paintings\, one in collaboration with poet Ariana Reines. \nThe exhibit is several years in the making. “Through the years this show has evolved\, my body has been attacking itself through my immune system\,” says Hammond. “I went down many paths with both my art and physical body before I finally reached a turning point.” \nThe paintings happened after a series of conversations with Reines. “We spoke about the silence women carry\, what it really means and feels like to give consent\, communications that result from being mixed race and culture in America\, the importance of ownership and protection over one’s own body\, taking care\, how crucial it is to identify as sane\, and the importance of relating to other people with love and humor as a way through any kind of opposition\,” says Hammond. \nThe paintings themselves are an exploration in communication using a collective unconscious that Hammond built through her writings alongside conversations with Reines. “This collective unconscious is a combination of my matrilineal cultural heritage (Afro-Caribbean)\, past experiences\, and direct feedback from my body as I recovered from a brain injury\,” says Hammond. \nBorn in Indianapolis\, IN\, Larissa Hammond studied Architecture and Linguistics at the University of Cincinnati before earning her BA from Portland State University. In 2012\, Hammond earned her MFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art + Oregon College of Art & Craft. Since graduating\, her thesis was purchased by conceptual artist Luis Camnitzer and she was named by Modern Painters Magazine as 1 of 25 Artists to Watch. Her first solo edition\, THE REDDENING\, was featured by Monograph Bookwerks and Triangular Press at the Codex International and LA Art Book Fairs. THE REDDENING was also purchased by the University of Iowa\, Indiana University\, and Oregon College of Art & Craft Rare / Artist Book Collections. \nBorn in Salem\, Massachusetts\, poet\, playwright\, and translator Ariana Reines earned a BA from Barnard College\, and completed graduate work at both Columbia University and the European Graduate School\, where she studied literature\, performance\, and philosophy. Her books of poetry include The Cow (2006)\, which won the Alberta Prize from Fence Books; Coeur de Lion (2007); and Mercury (2011). Her poems have been anthologized in Against Expression (2011) and Gurlesque (2010). Known for her interest in bodily experience\, the occult\, new media\, and the possibilities of the long or book-length form\, Reines has been described as “one of the crucial voices of her generation” by Michael Silverblatt on NPR’s Bookworm. \nMade possible by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation and Sun King Brewery.

SUMMARY:Danielle Graves:Days In
DESCRIPTION:We all grow up dreaming of what we want to be when we grow up\, I never wanted to be anything womanly. I was insecure\, insulted and in the footsteps of my brother—I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to be a dirty\, tree-whizzing-on boy\, but life has since changed. \nOver two years ago\, I drew my first saggy breasted and bumpy legged burger—this burger babe helped me love my body and be secure with the woman that I am and the woman that I am becoming. She\, amongst many other women I created\, was crafted by the words that make up today’s pop culture. 50 Cent once told us that “she’s beautiful\, she’s edible\,” Adam Levine\, amongst many other artists\, call us “sugar\,” “honey” and various other sweeteners or sweets\, Instagram gives us a lengthy thread of “#foodporn” posts\, while many other hot shots and online sites follow suit in dehumanizing and objectifying women. \nMy work personifies and reclaims these objectifications and has become a form of self-empowerment. It has shown me how to overcome and embrace the world and turn on the radiance that I never knew I had. It’s shown me the beauty in being a woman—the beauty in my mother—the beauty in the radical—the beauty in the breaking of preconceived femininity and the beauty of owning femininity. I want to celebrate my womanhood; thus\, I present to you a show of my girls just being girls\, Days In.
