Olga Koumoundouros: Burkhardt Lecture Series -->April 26th at 7:00, studio visits also april 26

Olga Koumoundouros’ provocative practice actively engages ideas of labor, class, and human sustenance. Using common industrial materials [cement, tar, and salvaged building fragments] Olga’s work transforms the stuff of daily life into an evocative commentary on social reality. Through hands-on engagement with material processes, her sculptures and drawings reflect a raw subjectivity and explore the dynamics of power through blunt gestures and bold forms.

Olga had a solo exhibition at REDCAT this past June and was included in the 2005 exhibition Thing: New Sculptures from Los Angeles at UCLA’s Hammer Museum. Olga’s art has been featured at Open Satellite (Bellevue, WA), and Adamski Gallery (Aachen, Germany), and in group exhibitions at the Cultuurcentrum Brugge (Belgium), LAX ART, Creative Time (New York), and the Studio Museum of Harlem. She now has a show up at LA Louver project space in Venice, CA.



Olga lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects.

Ryan Gander Talk: Monday March 29, 5:30pm

The British artist Ryan Gander weaves subtle tapestries of fact and fiction. His idea-based practice, his handling of the details of life and his own biography, art history and the artistic process, even obscure fables and puzzles—all of these he synthesizes into myriad forms, from sculpture to installation, the printed word, performance, and intervention.

Recent solo shows include ‘It’s a Right Heath Robinson Affair’, gb Agency and Kadist Art Foundation, Paris (2009); ‘As it Presents Itself’, Picture This, Bristol (2009) and ‘Heralded as the New Black’, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2009), Ikon Gallery, Birmingham and South London Gallery, London (2008). Group shows include ‘The Malady of Writing’, MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Barcelona; ‘Younger than Jesus’, New Museum, New York (both 2009) and ‘Wouldn’t It be Nice’, Somerset House, London, Museum für Gestaltung, Zurich (2008) and Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva (2007).


Gander studied Interactive Art at Manchester Metropolitan University, followed by a post-graduate in Fine Art at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in Maastricht, and the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.



Ryan Gander and Aurelien Froment will have a two person solo exhibition at Khastoo Gallery opening Tuesday March 30, 6-8pm http://www.khastoo.com
