September 21, 2011: New York, NY, Commons Gallery at NYU Steinhardt, health and care

  


health and care
September 21, 2011, 6-8pm

The Commons, NYU Barney Building
34 Stuyvesant St, 1st Fl.
NY NY 10003

Picking at fundamental perspectives through the conflation of reference, material, position, and relationship, 
health and care shifts our perception toward elements like boarders, bindings, corners, leftovers, voids, and 
nuance in a multitude of variations. The following is a brief description of the physical objects in the exhibition

Description of works:
Blanket Rug #1 (2011) is a collection of my own blankets from the past 8 years, these blankets are sewn, stitched, 
and tied together to form a space large enough to support more than their original purpose without eradicating a 
blankets intention. Indoor Plants (2011-) is an ongoing collection of houseplants found on sidewalks and brought 
back indoors. These plants are given individual care to replenish any necessity they may be missing. Visitors are 
welcome to bring plants to the opening if they need a little TLC or a diagnosis and individualized regiment. 
Interior #49 212 Plies, first position #2 (2011), a dimensional interior painted onto a physical interior and a 
video to embody the psychospatial plane in-between. 212 Plies, first position (2011) is a video made to exist dually 
within the imagined, illusioned, confines of Interior #49 (2011) and the concreteness of our present tense. The video 
is repurposed to become a bridge between multiple realities.

 

 












September 18, 2011: Los Angeles, CA, Road Concert on Sunset Boulevard


Los Angeles Road Concerts presents:
Road Concert on Sunset Boulevard

site-specific works along the entire length of Sunset Blvd

Los Angeles Road Concerts presents a showing of site-specific projects from over 100 Los Angeles artists 
in unused public outdoor spaces along the entire length of Sunset Boulevard’s 24 miles, from Downtown to 
the Pacific Ocean. For one day, artists will perform works, display installations, facilitate car pool 
happenings and make music in public spaces such as sidewalks, traffic islands, parking lots, as well as 
inside the audience’s cars as they traverse one of LA’s most iconic boulevards. The audience self-curates, 
deciding how long they want to spend at each participating artist's spot, or to skip spots or drive at different 
speeds between destinations as they journey from one end of Sunset to the other, arriving eventually to a 
beach reception at the ocean just before sunset. An official map of the day’s events along with project 
descriptions and other downloadable information will be available to the public starting on the event website 

Los Angeles Road Concerts seeks to investigate the possibilities of LA's lengthy streets as sites for artistic 
exploration while celebrating each street itself as a cross-section to observe the city's diversity of 
landscapes and people, how the Los Angeles metropolis grew, and the assortment of in-betweens and 
negative spaces it left behind as it expanded. How can we generate a new kind of LA experience, utilizing 
its car culture to find meaning and attention to a collection of less obvious destinations? Additionally, through 
a wide and inclusive open call process, Los Angeles Road Concerts brings together art school graduates, local 
residents and other creative people to realize a broad array of kinds of interactions with the sites. 
Participating artists find unlikely audiences, people who might have never otherwise encountered their work 
but who ultimately take a great interest in it.





September 13, 2011: New York, NY, Gallery Space at NYU Wagner, Reborn


Reborn: 9/11 Gallery Exhibition

Human consciousness is finite. Each of us lives for only a passing moment. Perhaps this ephemerality, obvious in the wake of 9/11, 
compels us to search for the meaning of our existence. For this exhibit, “Reborn,” each artist has been asked to exhibit work that is 
their memory/reaction. The artists are a community, a diverse group of faculty, graduate and undergraduate artists from the Art and 
Art Professions Department of the Steinhardt School. The Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and the Steinhardt School 
have gotten to know each other through the vehicle of art. Cutting across traditional lines is what often brings people together.

When: 9/13/2011 5:00pm-6:30pm
Location: The Puck Building, Rice Conference Room / Newman Reception Area
295 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10012-9604 map

Lyeberry #10: a dinner party 

53 Bundesallee, Berlin, Germany


On Sunday, June 19th 2011, Lyeberry held a dinner party 

in Berlin to celebrate the types of encounters that happen

over sharing a meal.

   

The three-course menu was inspired by reinterpretations 

of Berlin's historical and contemporary environment, as 

well as the people who have immigrated to and been driven 

away.


Menu:


pomogranate-peach infused slow-roasted wildschwein

Moroccan Vegetable Couscous

April 24, 2011 Los Angeles, CA: living room with twelve corners

Joseph Imhauser Living Room with Twelve Corners 

Popup Projects invites you to a new project by Joseph Imhauser, Living Room with Twelve Corners. Imhauser will transform and re-appropriate a living room 
in echo park. Approaching the domestic space with a delicacy and detail that has been seen in Imhauser’s previous Interiors installations, the completed 
work is sure to be balanced between colorful notations referencing both seen and unseen aspects of the architectural elements within the room and the soft 
details and objects we associate with domestic life and the security of being at home. Living Room with Twelve Corners will alter the domestic space through 
site-specific painting, sculpture and other objects while maintaining the comfort of the spaces original intent; a living room.

Popup Projects is an artist run organization that is interested presenting projects and exhibitions in locations ranging from empty commercial storefronts, 
private salons, outdoor spaces, online projects, and guest curating at established galleries without defining an environmental hierarchy. Popup Projects was 
created with the intention of showing unrepresented artists, as well as a platform for established artists to experiment with site-specific projects.

May 29, 2010 Los Angeles: Monte Vista Projects, Lifesize: Akina Cox and Joseph Imhauser 


“Lifesize”: Akina Cox and Joseph Imhauser 
May 29 – June 26, 2010 
Opening: Saturday, May 29 7-10pm

Lifesize brings together the work of Akina Cox and Joseph Imhauser whose practices explore social interactions and shared experience, 
paralleling historical events through their own personal relationships and encounters. The works in Lifesize are influenced by their 
surroundings, and represent a partnership with their subjects. In this manner, the exhibition aims to investigate the overlooked or 
underappreciated associations between people, places, and incidents. Imhauser and Cox push the limits of their authority as artists, 
privileging exchange and collaboration over individual sentiment.

Imhauser will show “Frank and Lina Nonaka,” (2009) an installation in three- parts. The first a video interview between Frank and Lina 
Nonaka and their oldest son Terry in their Sacramento home. The second is video documenting a lunch between Frank, Lina, their 
grandson, and the artist, the last is a composite photograph of all the snapshots and ephemera found in one shoebox in Frank and Linaʼs 
closet. This collection of memories, situations, and places, acts as a personalized archive of Frank and Lina, and provides a nuanced 
expansion to a more superficially commonplace history. Cox presents three works that can be understood independently as standalone 
works or as a constellation of subtle and imagined moments: “Proust,” (2009) a portrait painted from an image found in a childrenʼs 
encyclopedia, “John Jay Toffey,” (2009) a painting of Coxʼs great- great grandfather on a background mounted and painted by Coxʼs 
grandmother, and “Alisonʼs” (2009), inspired by a dream, in which Cox was at a friendʼs art exhibit.

Akina Cox lives in Los Angeles and graduated from CalArts in 2006. She is a co- founder of Lyeberry and the Eternal Telethon. Her works 
have been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Berlin, and Seoul. www.akinacox.com

Joseph Imhauser has shown in exhibitions and screenings at: Five Thirty Three, JMOCA, Elysian Park Museum of Art and Norma Desmond 
Productions, and Six Months in Los Angeles; Aquaspace, Atlanta; Northwest Film Center, Portland; and .HBC, Berlin. He graduated from 
CalArts in 2005 and is co-founder of Lyeberry. www.josephimhauser.com

Monte Vista Projects is located at 5442 Monte Vista St. (at Ave. 55), Los Angeles 90042. It is open from noon – 5pm Saturday and 
Sunday and for special events. For more information please see the website www.montevistaprojects.com
