One of the most highly regarded contemporary artists coming out of the United States, Elliott Hundley has achieved international acclaim for his emphatically unique works. This exhibition aspires to offer a sampling of Hundley's works in hopes to provide a glimpse into the creative evolution of this unparalleled creative mind.
Pasadena City College presents Speech Network, an online exhibition of media artworks by internationally recognized artist Natalie Bookchin. Since the 90’s, Bookchin’s work has explored how new technologies critically engage contemporary political, media and internet cultures. Educated as a photographer, her work embraces a new context for image culture, functioning less as unique works of art, and instead as an endless archive of data that can be recontextualized to examine ideas in our networked culture.
The Visual Arts and Media Studies Scholarships are awarded to current Pasadena City College students who display high academic and creative achievement. In our first online VAMS Scholarship Exhibition, we showcase the creative works of our award recipient and celebrate them as artists.
Each year the Pasadena City College art gallery holds a student art competition that is open to all students who have enrolled in a course in the Visual Arts and Media Studies division that year. A guest juror, typically a distinguished gallery director, curator or art critic, selects and installs a show from the submitted artwork, and awards cash prizes to outstanding student artists. Like many traditions, the PCC Annual Juried Student Exhibition this year had to revision itself for an online socially distant exhibition. Students were asked to submit up to three works through an online submission process. This year's exhibition was juried by digital artist and independent curator Jody Zellen.
Jason Hanasik’s work includes a broad range of subjects and is unified by themes of resilience and post-traumatic growth. His work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, screened at multiple international film festivals, presented on stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Ace Theater in LA and featured on the BBC, The Guardian and in The Los Angeles Times. His scholarship has been published in the academic journal Critical Military Studies and his photography monograph, I slowly watched him disappear, is in the research collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA NYC, The New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, Stanford University and the Rhode Island School of Design.
In her recent sculptural works referencing local waterfall shapes, Den Hartog uses steel, aluminum mesh, aqua resin fiberglass cloth and paint on a stainless steel pedestal to create a frozen stopped movement suspended in time. An asymmetrical balancing act, these are solid sculptural realities that evoke organic movement through space responding to gravity and all the natural forces. The work harkens to Lynda Bengalis’ legacy of pours, as Den Hartog also embraces innovative exploration of unexpected media and mixed materials.
As a companion show to the concurrent solo exhibition of our 2020 Artist-in-Residence Jacci Den Hartog’s work in the Boone Family Art Gallery, Gallery V will present a tandem solo exhibition of the works of Abel Alejandre and Eloy Torrez. Alejandre and Torrez share an impulse to respect and honor the cultural wealth of Mesoamerican heritage rooted in our Los Angeles communities. As Jacci Den Hartog’s abstracted organic sculptural forms reveal our transient and shifting sense of self, Alejandre and Torrez articulate the complexities of the Latinx hybrid identity construct shedding light on ancestral Mesoamerican roots of Latinx psychology.

This tandem solo exhibition pairs the quirky, cobbled sculptures of Kyla Hansen with the similarly unexpected juxtapositions inherent in the ceramic, sculptural works of Alison Petty Ragguette.

Marnie Weber’s centralizing embrace of the societal fringe mimics our globalized reassessment of the dominant point of view, debunking the old norm for a new model where the previously peripheral moves to center stage.

The Art Galleries at Pasadena City College are pleased to present artwork from Kori Newkirk. Kori Newkirk creates mixed media artworks often inspired from cast-off objects found in his local environs of downtown Los Angeles. Newkirk harnesses these rescued objects in thought-provoking works that comment on our society. These unexpected impetuses provide a springboard for Newkirk’s investigations into art, as he intersects these creative materials into a fruitful dialog with art history, providing a cogent commentary on our everyday world and what it says about us as a culture.

The Art Galleries at Pasadena City College are pleased to present "EZ Future: The Video Installations and Sculptures of Joshua Haycraft." The video installations and sculptural artworks of Joshua Haycraft present an artificial futuristic world of technological design. A pre-packaged culture of mechanized desire, these slick consumer products promise enlightenment in easily participatory techno-interactive doses of computer aesthetics.

A three-person show of Lynn Aldrich, Miyoshi Barosh and Doug Harvey presented by the Galleries at PCC. In our Gallery V, as a companion show to the Tim Hawkinson solo in the Boone Family Art Gallery, we present this group show of artists whose works re-envision function, recasting materials into new, unexpected roles in artworks that embody a strong textural or tactile aspect in their materiality as they are reinvented from their original mundane or cast-off status. At times bridging sculpture and painting, these repurposed media enjoy a new life, giving us pause to consider that art fodder is all around us if we can embrace a fresh perspective and open our minds to the possibilities around us.
