Carey Lin & Bonanza
What’s Going On (feat. 4 Non Blondes)
January 17 February 21, 2015
What’s Going On (feat. 4 Non Blondes) is an exhibition of new works by Carey Lin and Bonanza centered on the functions of different workspaces. Carey Lin’s practice highlights the space of the studio as a subject for artmaking and examines painting as a selfreflexive process. Bonanza’s work considers the site as a type of flex space with pieces that literally bend, bow, and curve into pose. Taken together, this exhibition focuses on both the physical and mental process of “working it out”.
A free, limited edition Colpa Press Risograph print with writing by Suzanne L’Heureux will accompany this exhibition.
Carey Lin is a San Francisco based visual artist, curator and codirector of Stairwell’s, a collaborative project with programs and exhibitions throughout the Bay Area. Carey earned her M.F.A. from the University of Chicago and served as a Visiting Lecturer at UChicago’s Department of Visual Arts. She has been an artistinresidence at the Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT), LPP+ (SF) and OxBow (Saugatuck, MI). In her spare time, Carey makes ceramic glazed donuts and other inedible baked goods at the Randall Museum.
Bonanza is the collective practice of Conrad Guevara, Lindsay Tully, and Lana Williams. The formal cohesion of a filmmaker, sculptor, and painter is the result of their shared way of thinking and making. Bonanza centers around ideas of abstraction, questions of authorship, and dismantles the ideas of the heroic artist. They have exhibited at Interface Gallery, Artists’ Television Access, n/a, and S.H.E.D. Projects in the Bay area.
