Coastal States

July 12 August 2, 2008
Opening Saturday July 12, 7 10 pm

Gilda Davidian, Ignacio Genzon, Rena Kosnett, Jeff McLane, Katie Shapiro

“Coastal States” is a 5 person photography and video exhibition. The works are varied--some are landscape, some are portraits, some are arachnid. But all 5 projects are about existing on the periphery-- of family, in your social outlets, and in your neighborhoods--and the changes that occur when you come up for air after realizing you’ve been coasting on auto-pilot, without taking immediate surroundings into account.

The artists are Gilda Davidian, Ignacio Genzon, Rena Kosnett, Jeff McLane, and Katie Shapiro, who are graduates of CalArts currently working in Los Angeles and contributing to the From Here To There art collective.
