Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions presents “ABUNDANCE,” a three-day performance art series from April 24-26 from 7-10 p.m. at L.A. Dance Project, 2245 E. Washington Blvd.
Director of programming Selene Preciado and assistant director of programming Juan Silverio are curating “ABUNDANCE,” which features cutting edge performance art and interdisciplinary work by artists who challenge intersectional forms of oppression. The artists invite the public to witness and participate in the reclamation of one’s body, disrupt the status quo and forge liberatory pathways through community.
“‘ABUNDANCE’ continues LACE’s longstanding commitment to experimental performance art and uplifting of underrepresented voices,” Preciado said. “Stigmatized bodies remain a point of contention in their activism towards liberation, as we intersect feminist, queer, racial and socioeconomic issues. We are grateful for the enthusiastic response from the participating artists whom we deeply admire.”
Held at L.A. Dance Project, “ABUNDANCE” will include re-stagings and new work by performance, sound and literary artists Patrisse Cullors, Edgar Fabián Frías, Jessica Carolina González, Vanessa Hernández Cruz, Alima Lee, Caleb Luna, Melba Martínez, Cody Perkins, Ghis Rodríguez, Yesika Salgado and Dorian Wood. Responding to the word “abundance,” the artists examine their existence through the way they see and experience the world, with abundant, generous, humorous, joyful and rageful entry points that will put collective and individual biases into question.
“I feel so blessed to have been included in this glorious celebration of big, bold, and boundless beings,” Frías said. “Coming together as a community to revel in the beauty of our pleasure, our joy and our brilliance is profoundly healing and fills my heart with immense gratitude.”
“ABUNDANCE” is supported by the Perenchio Foundation. L.A. Dance Project is supporting the organization while LACE’s Hollywood gallery is under renovation. For information and a schedule, visit welcometolace.org.
