Exhibitions by two Artists in Residence will be presented in Project Space each season. Visitors are invited in to witness and engage with the space throughout the exhibitions’ various stages of making: as working studios undergoing transformation, or in their final state as complete exhibitions.
"Like After Like": Life After Life
Life After Life, the creative duo comprised of artists Paige K. Johnston and Karthik Pandian (AIR ’16), develops an exhibition that provides several eclectic windows into the many projects in which they are currently amidst. Self-reflexively investigating the nature of their own collaboration, Like After Like presents a perspective on creativity that is multivalent, and that straddles and dismisses the generic boundaries often used to categorize art. From a film on Rudyard Kipling, to an autobiographical video modeled after the aesthetics of perfume commercials, and including oil paintings depicting skin tones alongside a self-curated display of Bay-Area produced ceramics, Like After Like confronts the myth of an “artistic life” by directly revealing the real, day-to-day steps required to produce work, all the while enacting other imaginary fields for visitors to engage in.
