Witnessing the increasingly evident signs of the destruction of our livable environment weighs heavy on the minds of many artists. As environmental and agricultural issues worsen, all people are forced to rethink their current situations to survive. Climate change is seamlessly linked with migration, much of the cause of the other.

Artists collectively reflect the culture and thoughts of a society and printmaking has historically been a medium that reflects on pressing current events. In this exhibition, artists examine their responses to the climate crisis through various printmaking techniques.

Participating artists: John Andrews, Chakaia Booker, Edward Fausty, Anna Fiacco, Rie Hasegawa, Shervone Neckles, Mohammad Khalil, Essye Klempner, Tara Sabharwal, Justin Sanz, Sarah Sears, Yasuyo Tanaka, Ethan Tate

A two-part exhibition, Past as Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgment, represents the National Academy of Design’s efforts towards a critical reassessment of the cultural context in which the Academy was founded. Past as Prologue Part II examines how artists have envisioned a more expansive notion of cultural identity through artworks imbued with the values of activist movements that have recast this country’s political landscape over the last century.

Los Angeles Public Library, Central Library Getty Gallery
September 14, 2024 through May 11, 2025

The Library Foundation of Los Angeles presents “No Prior Art: Illustrations of Invention,” a new exhibition at Central Library's Getty Gallery and part of the PST Art: Art & Science Collide citywide program series. This exhibition explores the intersection of art, science, and invention, showcasing diverse stories of human creativity and celebrating the inventive spirit.

Drawing inspiration from the Los Angeles Public Library's patent and intellectual property resources, "No Prior Art" features approximately 150 sculptures, photographs, drawings, models, inventions, and new commissions. It highlights the imaginative spirit of creators throughout American history, delving into their unexpected stories and diverse perspectives. The title, "No Prior Art," is a play on a legal term crucial to the patent application process, indicating that the claims of the invention must be unique and not obvious in existing patents.

Los Angeles Central Library is located at 630 W. 5th St.

Opening Festival: June 22, 4-7

Opening reception: September 30, 5-7pm
October 1 - December 3, 2022

Curated by Charlotta Kotik and program of Moore’s Visiting Curators Initiative, at The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design.

Kotik’s presentation incorporates the work of four women artists: Rehab El Sadek, Sara Jimenez, Shervone Neckles, and Kara Rooney who all explore relationships to/with/in various locations—often places of origin—and examines the formal and psychological impact of such places on their creative practices. Illuminating intricacies of both urban design and individual domiciles, these unique perspectives explore how cross-cultural gender roles can be employed to create more enriching environments and offers a multicultural examination of urban and domestic spaces.

Opening Reception: September 3, 11am -1pm
Curated by UNF Associate Professor Sheila Goloborotko and Assistant Professor Andy Kozlowski

The song, Bless this House in the voice of Mahalia Jackson filled the rooms of Shervone Neckles' family home in Grenville, Grenada, West Indies. Encircled by the repeated refrain in varying tones, this Gospel calls for a blessing-to the walls, roof, door, and windows. Lastly, it somberly calls for a heartfelt prayer to the people that inhabit the house. This song, like all prayers, is a solemn request for help in the face of uncertainty, an appeal for guidance towards refuge and security.

What makes a House one's Home?

They explore and experiment with paper as a process-driven medium, allowing for care, consideration, and rumination on familiar forms. The featured artists construct contemporary altars, monuments, and mementos, bringing power, meaning, or an otherworldliness into their work.

Exhibition Date: June 1 - June 22
Opening Reception: Sunday, June 12, 12-5 PM

Care/Repair: Mending the Circle is not just an exhibition, it is a statement and conversation about human cooperation and our mutual interdependence. Care is fundamental to the human condition. It is manifest in myriad acts of kindness and labors of love. All humans are engaged in care activities, both as receivers of care and in most cases as care givers. And we care most for those that are emotionally, physically and culturally closer to us. What are the boundaries of our caring? How far should the boundaries of caring be expanded?

This exhibition is presented by SEQAA (Southeast Queens Artist Alliance). Participating artists include Damali Abrams, Natali Bravo-Barbee, Sherese Francis, Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks, Chemin Hsiao, Marvenia Knight, Rejin Leys, Angela Miskis, Shervone Neckles, Elizabeth Velazquez, Shenna Vaughn, Margaret Rose Vendryes. The exhibition is curated by Shilpi Chandra.

In the story of Noah and the Ark, after the flood, the creator who has just destroyed almost all the evidence of their artistic practice—aka God—makes a binding promise to never do it again. They present the world with a gift, one which is unexpected and extraordinary. It is a sculpture: a bow of many colors. If effect, God is making a bond between themselves and all living creatures through the presentation of an art object. Whenever this object, this pledge, appears in the skies after a storm, all living beings will know that they are safe, at least from cataclysmic destruction. “The Agreement: Chromatic Presences” is an examination of the connection the viewer feels towards a polychrome sculpture that shares their space. It hearkens back to this original notion that these objects, simultaneously real and impossible, symbolize a pact between ourselves and the inscrutable and unknowable.

Once upon a time, there was a tree on a far far away island. On this tree grew female creatures, reproducing and self-perpetuating in an endless cycle. You could hear their screams “waq! waq!” at night as they ripened and dropped to the ground.

Same story, different names — Waq Waq in medieval Arab geographical and imaginative literature, Nariphon in Buddhist mythology, Jinmenju in Japanese legends, Zaqqum in the Quran — this is a tale with many echoes across time and geographies. A speculative fabulation, an illusion: Can you prove it did not happen?

Under the Waqwaq Tree brings fabulous creatures and ferocious monsters into the exhibition space to tell stories of the “other” — the so-called aliens (legal or illegal), the ones who have been deemed “mad,” the historically and systemically underrepresented and oppressed.
