Artist

Tyler Los-Jones

Tyler Los-Jones produces objects and images from his home in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Interested in the role photography plays in the production and the fulfillment of our expectations for environments, the work he had produced over the past decade aims to complicate inherited assumptions of environments by bringing the unnatural aspects of the western conception of nature to the forefront.

Tyler Los-Jones has exhibited work at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Banff; Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Charlottetown; and Norberg Hall, Calgary, among others.

Artist

Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang

Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang creates multi-media sculptures and installations that explore the absurdity and violence inherent in both human nature and identity construction. The artist’s own Puerto Rican background, along with the historical and material culture of the Caribbean region, serve a prism through which he synthesizes ideas around race, nationality, tradition, and socioeconomics through visual representation.  

Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang has exhibited work at The Bronx Museum of the Arts, MoMA PS1, and El Museo del Barrio, all New York, among others.

Zemi is a teddy bear made out of recycled US army uniforms. The surface of the bear is entirely covered with silver-grey zinc and gold beads, pearls and lapis lazuli stones. It was inspired by the Beaded Zemi in Rome's Pigorini Museum, one of the finest surviving examples of Taino art produced before the disappearance of this culture in 16th century. Tainos were the principal inhabitants of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Florida before the settlement of the region by Spanish colonists. Similar to a fetish object, the Beaded Zemi represents a supernatural character with coexisting Taino, African and European features.
Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang, Zemi, 2017, recycled United States military uniforms, lapis lazuli beads, turquoise beads, pearl beads, zinc beads, metal beads, gold plated beads, thread, and zipper, 22 × 24 × 131/2 in. (55.88 × 60.96 × 34.29 cm)
Truth consists of an airtight receptacle filled with an ongoing archive of Weird but True columns from New York tabloids. It’s a physical ‘hard drive’ that comments on the fragility of preserving history on digital servers, databases and clouds that depend on unsustainable sources of energy.
Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang, Truth, 2020, desiccator, newspaper clippings, and plexiglass column, 26 × 56 × 9 in. (66.04 × 142.24 × 22.86 cm)
I have made a series of artworks using recycled military uniforms as a canvas or support for responding to our recent American wars. These artworks were inspired by a subculture among American combat veterans where ex-service members deconstruct and transform their uniforms into artworks as therapy for PTSD. I was interested in expanding this practice as a way to honor the collective memory which transcends borders of the nation-state and honors the mutual bonds of war among all sides.
Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang, Blood Ocean, 2019, recycled United States military uniforms, coral, lapis lazuli beads, turquoise beads, mother of pearl beads, jade beads, imitation pearls, military buttons and pins, enamel pins, safety pins, cotton thread, and wood, 52 × 76 × 2 in. (132.08 × 193.04 × 5.08 cm)
Bug consists of a weatherproof hard-case for electronic equipment commonly used in the military. A traditional pattern stitched by an Afghani artisan on the back of a military shirt is stretched across the case. A digital microscope is focused on a microchip embedded inside.
Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang, Bug, 2018, recycled United States military uniform, digital microscope, motherboard, cotton thread, and weatherproof protective hard case, 20 × 22 × 17 in. (50.8 × 55.88 × 43.18 cm)
Blotter is another airtight desiccator box filled with an archive of the NYPD daily blotter clipping which ended its daily run in the printed paper in 2017.
Ignacio Gonzalez-Lang, Blotter, 2017, desiccator, New York Police Department daily blotter clippings, and plexiglass shelf, 81/2 × 14 × 7 in. (21.59 × 35.56 × 17.78 cm)

Alicia Grullón

Grullón’s self-portrait series, “From March to June: At Home with Essential Workers” is a continuation of her process using visual and embodied performative practices to create alternatives in archiving history. These self-portraits were created in her home in New York City during the Covid-19 quarantine. In this body of work, she simultaneously documents her time at home and current affairs affecting the nation.The titles refer to dates the images were taken and news articles from that time regarding the treatment of essential workers and incarcerated people during the pandemic.

Artist

Agostino Iacurci

Agostino Iacurci works with a wide range of media, including painting, wall-painting, sculpture, drawing, and installation. He creates immersive spaces to transform the perception of given environments. Starting from specific topics like the use of colors in the ancient and classical world, he questions issues of traditions and identity, investigating the process of idealization underlying historical myths and their impact on the collective imagination.

Agostino Iacurci has exhibited work at Civic Museum of Palazzo Mosca, Pesaro; Macro, Rome; Celaya Brothers Gallery, Mexico City, among others.
