Jun 28-Dec 29, 2024 Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya Skinchangers: Begotten of my Flesh Jun 28-Dec 29, 2024 Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya, As I willed myself out of entropy, 2022 2024 Toby's Prize Exhibition Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya presents a new body of work in his first solo museum exhibition, Skinchangers: Begotten of my Flesh, opening June 2024. This show expands upon the artist’s 2022 exhibition at Sargent’s Daughters entitled James Webb and the Thestral Born Without a Vertebrae , which shares the story of a vampire forced to reconstitute its body from space debris following the destruction of the last spaceship leaving an apocalypse-ravaged Earth. A work of speculative fiction, Skinchangers: Begotten of my Flesh collapses linear time, fueling our anxiety of the unfamiliar while demanding reflection on how histories of abuse allow for a future seepage of toxicity. Using expanded polystyrene as a building block (after all, what material other than plastic can survive the end of the world?), Montoya transforms moCa’s Lewis Gallery into the interior of this last spaceship, complete with a celestial soundtrack that draws us into the darkness of the unknown. Mythical, shape-shifting creatures known as Nahuales that hatched aboard the vessel during an eon of astral travel hang from the spacecraft’s ceiling. Hovering in antigravity yet tethered to the ship’s architecture, their eternal home serves as both captor and protector. These Nahuales are a part of the artist’ cast of characters, cohabitating with their vampiric guardian and the spacecraft’s mainframe, which itself is a sentient being, the beating heart that fuels the vessel throttling through space. Made from detritus of capitalist consumption, vestiges of the sentient, and materials that teeter on the edge of abjection, Montoya’s alchemical creatures feed off each other. They are stand-ins for the human body, used to explore how violence erases and eradicates communities of color. In this future apocalypse, processes of decay, regeneration, and shapeshifting for protection and survival graft new meaning upon our understandings of an “ecosystem.” In addition to the exhibition, Montoya is designing a suite of activities for audience engagement and creating his first publication (available in Fall 2024). He is the third recipient of Toby’s Prize, a biannual award sponsored by philanthropist Toby Devan Lewis (1934-2022) and created to advance the work of emerging artists through exhibitions and publications. This exhibition is presented through Toby’s Prize, a biennial award made possible by Toby Devan Lewis. Installation Images Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya, Skinchangers: Begotten of my Flesh.

Photos: Tom Little About the Artist Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya (b.1989 in Parral, Mexico) is based in Mexico City. Montoya received his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020. Montoya creates sculptures that are fantastic beings centered around anthologies and social issues concerning border culture, abjection, adaptation, and mestizaje. Montoya’s practice is aided by Speculative Fiction, Nahualismo, Sci-Fi, and the labor of his family. His work hybridizes and creates parallels between land, the human, and the animal as a way to investigate the process in which violence eradicates, erases, and erodes communities of color. Upcoming exhibitions include Flow States – LA TRIENAL 2024 at El Museo de Barrio (New York, NY) and a solo exhibition of new work at ICA San Diego (San Diego, CA). Recent exhibitions include an untitled group exhibition at Artists Space (New York, NY), Perhaps the Truth at Ballroom Marfa (Marfa, TX), La Casa Erosionada at Anahuacalli Museum (Coyacan, MX), James Webb and The Thestral Born Without a Vertebrate at Sargent’s Daughters (New York, NY), and were-:Nenetech Forms at MOCA Tucson (Tucson, AZ).

Feb 2-May 26, 2024 Andrea Bowers Exist, Flourish, Evolve Feb 2-May 26, 2024 Andrea Bowers, Rights of Nature I, 2022, neon. Photo: Glen Cheriton, Impart Photography LA-based artist Andrea Bowers bears witness in her work, drawing attention to and inspiring movement around the most urgent issues of our time. Her drawings, sculptures, installations, and films chronicle and preserve history as it occurs, documenting collective action and amplifying the labor and lived experiences of activists dedicated to socio-political change. Developed through an ongoing partnership with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF) and activist Tish O’Dell, Exist, Flourish, Evolve is a new, multi-site, multimedia campaign that builds awareness and action around the dangers facing Lake Erie and all of the Great Lakes ecosystems. It features a monumental neon sculpture installed on a waterfront balcony of the Great Lakes Science Center; a documentary investigating the impact of factory farming on Lake Erie’s ecosystem; and a presentation in moCa’s Lewis Gallery that includes a newly-created drawing of the Lake Erie Bill of Rights, first-of-its-kind legislation protecting an entire US ecosystem that is part of the global Rights of Nature Movement. Bowers was raised in the small town of Huron, Ohio and spent her childhood on the shores of Lake Erie, connecting to the lake itself like a member of her family to be cared for, cherished, and protected. Yet, Lake Erie and its watershed are abused and endangered by corporate practices such as contaminant dumping, toxic runoff from industrial farming, and the introduction of non-native invasive species. Exist, Flourish, Evolve demands justice for the Great Lakes, urging us to prioritize the preservation of our natural ecology over industrialization and capitalism. Within moCa’s gallery, a timeline connects Bowers’s new and recent artworks with historical facts and archival materials using two catastrophic climate events as bookends to Bowers’s life thus far: the 1969 fire on the Lake Erie-connected Cuyahoga River (a result of oil slicks covering the water) and the massive 2014 algae bloom that blanketed Lake Erie and invaded Toledo’s water systems, preventing residents from using tap water. From the Maumee to the Cuyahoga, the works in Exist, Flourish, Evolve come together to share the histories of our water, demonstrate the interconnectedness of ourselves and our natural world, and remind us, as Dr. Vandana Shiva states, “nature is not out there; we are a part of it.” Commission sponsorship provided by Generous support from Chuck & Char Fowler, Joanne Cohen & Morris Wheeler, and Nicholas & Erin Reif Community Partners: Installation Images Andrea Bowers, Exist, Flourish, Evolve.

Courtesy Fondazione Furla Andrea Bowers (b. 1964, Ohio) is a Los Angeles-based artist who has been recording and amplifying the work of activists present and past for more than two decades. Her multi-media practice includes drawing, video, sculpture, and installation work that foregrounds the experience of the people who dedicate their time and energy to the struggle for gender, racial, environmental, labor, and immigration justice and those who are directly affected by systemic inequality. Over time, her different bodies of work have become a document of the changing language, prerogatives, and dynamics of social justice movements. In 2021 a major mid-career survey of Bowers’s work curated by Michael Darling and Connie Butler opened at the MCA Chicago and traveled to the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles in 2022. Other recent solo exhibitions include Grief and Hope , Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach, Germany and Light and Gravity , Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst, Bremen, Germany. In September 2022, Bowers opened a solo exhibition including both new and existing work at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Milano as part of an exhibition program organized by the Fondazione Furla. Bowers is represented by Vielmetter Los Angeles, Andrew Kreps Gallery, Kaufmann Repetto, and Jessica Silverman Gallery.

News + Read more at Art News Friday, October 11, 2024 By Alex Greenberger One’s eye typically skates right over the list of materials on the caption for an artwork, since the verbiage used—“oil on canvas,” “ink on paper,” and the like—tends to be more perfunctory than it is engaging. But in the case of Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya ’s sculptures of creatures in transformation, the words used to describe his many materials cannot be ignored because they are so stylized and so bizarre. Take the case of The Lil Rat That Made It on Board the Ship (2021), a sculpture that appeared at Artists Space in New York this past summer. It’s an all-black assemblage that has a long, gnarled tail extending from its body and a pointy claw affixed to its head; it would not be out of place in the Alien universe. Its materials, as described by Montoya, are worth quoting at length: “My very very large black t-shirt that I smeared with pigmented dragon skin silicone. Welding wire, black zip ties, black and green sewing string, rabbit pelt, horn tips, half a horn, nail polish, dirty socks because Timoh was washing his calzones and I couldn’t wait, emerald powdered pigment, car fender, black car part, possed bouncing ball.” Previous Next

Title Round Lori Kella Clouds Over Gros Marne , 2003 Color photograph 20 x 16 inches Estimated Value Range: $1,000 - $2,000 Starting Bid: $500 Bidding increments: $100 Lori Kella (b. 1974, St. Joseph, MI) is known for her meticulously constructed photographic fictions that explore themes of place, memory, and environmental transformation. Living along the shore of Lake Erie, Kella's work often reflects on the fragility and beauty of the Great Lakes region, resonating with those connected to water and shoreline life. More: Lori Kella Artistic Practice Kella's photographs are deliberate constructions, not spontaneous captures of the natural world. Using everyday materials like paper, soap, and wool, she hand-builds miniature dioramas meant solely for the camera's lens. Through dramatic lighting and exacting detail, she transforms these tabletop landscapes into hauntingly vivid scenes. Her images often feel at once serene and uncanny, their beauty shot through with environmental unease. Her series Vanishing Shoreline examines climate change and shoreline erosion along the Great Lakes. This body of work has been featured in State of the Art 2020 at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, as well as in solo exhibitions at PhotoCentric in Cleveland and the Rosewood Art Center in Kettering, OH. Notably, her photograph Clouds Over Gros Morne (2003) evokes the dramatic landscapes of Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its rugged terrain and striking geological features, including fjords and towering cliffs. About the Artist Kella received a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and an MFA from Cornell University in 2001. She is the recipient of four Individual Excellence Awards from the Ohio Arts Council, a full fellowship to Vermont Studio Center, a Creative Workforce Fellowship, and support from ArtPlace America and the Andy Warhol Foundation. In addition to her studio practice, Kella is a faculty member at Laurel School in Shaker Heights, OH. She continues to create from her home on the Lake Erie shoreline, where her intimate relationship with the landscape continues to inspire fictional worlds that resonate with truth.

Title Round J. Bennett Fitts Arroyo Seco Driving Range , 2004 Chromogenic print 30 x 42 inches Estimated Value Range: $3,000 - $5,000 Starting Bid: $1,500 Bidding increments: $250 J. Benntt Fitts’s photograph suggests the experience that many of us have on the putting green - so many attempts that never quite make it to the hole. Set at night, the humorous image implies that the golfer has literally been trying all day , still standing on the green, waiting for one to sink. Fitts explores the intersection of the artificial and natural in his photographs, presenting familiar, everyday environments in new and unexpected ways. His Arroyo Seco Driving Range series transforms a common landscape—the golf course—into a strange, surreal environment. Devoid of human presence, these images show only the evidence of human effort. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the surreal quality of the golf course, where exaggerated nighttime shadows contrast with brightly colored greens and flags. This tension between the controlled nature of the course and the night’s unpredictable shadows creates a sense of quiet waiting that pervades the work. More: J. Bennett Fitts Artist Statement “In photography, my interest has always been in landscapes; not the heroic imagery most people associate with the term landscape, but the beautifully subtle and banal work of the photographers associated with the new topographics movement. The sense of quiet and isolation that pervades Baltz’s series on Irvine warehouses is something I always strive to capture in my own imagery. The photographers in the New Topographics exhibition focused on the ‘social landscape,’ exploring the way in which man impacts the natural environment. They created imagery that avoided the common themes of beauty and emotion. However, at a certain point, I feel I break from the strict doctrine of some of these photographers. Unlike them, I have chosen non-industrial subject matter and, intentionally, I set out to achieve a sense of aesthetic beauty in my images. I want someone with no interest in golf to walk into the gallery and feel a sense of contentment from viewing my work. This series is not made for golfers; it is an attempt to recontextualize the golf landscape and open it to a broader audience. My ideal viewer is someone with no preconceived notions of the game who can engage with the imagery on a purely visual level. My personal connection to golf comes from living in Colorado Springs. I resided in a townhouse next to a golf course designed by Pete Dye. Though my view was mostly limited to a 40-foot dry grass hill, I could see the surreal colors of the course just beyond. I would often wander over the hill in the evening to observe the strange hues of this man-made environment. I recall the course’s lake being dyed from green to blue to meet the golfer's ideal of what a lake should look like, or the futile attempts to dye the brown winter grass green. These artificial interventions in the natural landscape sparked my interest in the golf course as a site for my own project, especially at night. The nighttime golf course, lit with sodium vapor lights, creates a hyperreal environment so artificial and theatrical that it's almost impossible to discern whether it's day or night. This artificiality, and the vibrant tones of the course, is what makes this project so fascinating to me.” Biography J. Bennett Fitts is a graduate of the Art Center College of Design, located in Pasadena, California, where he now lives and works. His photographic series Arroyo Seco Driving Range exemplifies his keen interest in landscapes, emphasizing the tension between the artificial and the natural. Fitts’s work takes familiar scenes and transforms them into haunting, surreal interpretations, inviting viewers to experience ordinary spaces in extraordinary ways.

Title Round Mark Mothersbaugh Untitled (My Struggle prints) , 2016 Spray paint on laser print 65 x 49 x 4 inches Estimated Value Range: $4,000 - $6,000 Starting Bid: $2,000 Bidding increments: $250 Among visitor favorite exhibitions at moCa, Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia (2016) ranks near the top. No surprise, given Mark’s hometown connection, his legendary rock status, and his exceptionally creative and unusual artistic practice which merges visual, musical, and literary art. This artwork blows up and reimagines a page from the artist’s 1978 book, My Struggle by Booji Boy , a fictitious character he often performed as with his band, Devo. Mark Mothersbaugh (b. 1950, Akron, OH) is an American artist, musician, and composer whose multifaceted creative output spans visual art, music, performance, and more. Best known for his pioneering role in the band DEVO, Mothersbaugh’s work interrogates themes of de-evolution, societal collapse, and the absurdity of contemporary life. His Untitled (My Struggle Prints) from 2016 highlights the artist’s ongoing exploration of collage, absurdism, and the dissection of American identity. The prints serve as an extension of his My Struggle series, which incorporates a vast range of visual elements, from scientific illustrations to commercial ads, reflecting the peculiar, fragmented nature of contemporary culture. More: Mark Mothersbaugh Artistic Practice Mothersbaugh’s practice is deeply rooted in both his early life experiences and his involvement with DEVO. After being diagnosed with severe nearsightedness and becoming legally blind, he began creating art as a way to compensate for his altered vision, leading to an obsession with imagery and illustrations. This early experience of "seeing the world differently" can be seen throughout his body of work, especially in his My Struggle prints. These works combine collage, photography, and his signature blend of pop culture commentary, often humorously disfiguring bodies and texts to create unsettling yet compelling visuals. The My Struggle series offers a disorienting glimpse into a world where the lines between the sacred, the absurd, and the terrifying are blurred. Notable Works and Exhibitions The My Struggle Prints are part of a broader body of work that spans multiple mediums, from mail art and postcards to music videos and stage shows. Mothersbaugh’s prolific output includes daily postcard drawings—over 25,000 of which he’s created since the 1980s. These works began as personal diaries but became a crucial aspect of his artistic identity, shared in exhibitions such as HOMEFRONT INVASION! in 2003. His photographic work, Beautiful Mutants , also demonstrates his obsession with visual symmetry and "corrected" imagery, challenging norms of representation and visual harmony. Mothersbaugh’s art has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including retrospectives at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and national touring shows. His major exhibition Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia (2014) brought together a comprehensive look at his art and music, accompanied by a catalog and postcard collection titled Mark Mothersbaugh: Collected Facts & Lies (2015). These exhibitions have cemented his legacy as a significant visual artist and have provided a platform for his ongoing exploration of personal and societal mythologies. About the Artist Mothersbaugh’s work has been informed by his formative years in Akron, Ohio, and his time with DEVO. DEVO, formed after the Kent State shootings in 1970, was instrumental in shaping the band’s core philosophy of de-evolution , a theory that critiques the decline of society through the lens of pop culture, politics, and technological progress. Through the band, and in his solo works, Mothersbaugh has explored the absurdities of modern life, creating works that challenge conventional narratives about art, identity, and culture. His music compositions for films like Peewee’s Playhouse and for Wes Anderson’s films are just as integral to his artistic practice as his visual work, reflecting his ability to merge sound and image into one cohesive narrative.

Museum of Creative Human Art x moCa Museum of Creative Human Art x moCa Institutional Residency Jul 2021-Jun 2022 Installation of the exhibition Stina Aleah: "Helping" Hands in the Lewis Gallery. In July 2021, the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (moCa) and the Museum of Creative Human Art (MCHA) co-created and launched an institutional residency project. This residency is designed to explore how organizations of different sizes but with similar missions and commitments can work collaboratively in space and programming, learn from one another, and mutually advance goals of equity, education, and creativity. MCHA is a new art world change agent focused on presenting a diversity of artists, creative spaces, perspectives, programs, and activations intended to serve and inspire mission-aligned Black creators. moCa has been both conduit and catalyst for contemporary artists for more than 50 years, supporting and sharing the art and ideas of our time through artist first exhibitions, programs, special projects, and publications. During this residency, MCHA is curating its ambitious exhibition program at moCa’s building with assistance from moCa’s team. moCa and MCHA are creating joint programming for audiences of all ages that springboards from each exhibition and the residency concept-at-large. This institutional residency reinforces MCHA and moCa’s shared missions to advance and improve humanity through art. Ultimately, MCHA and moCa hope that the project could model new approaches to long-form, shared space organizational partnerships that provide both autonomous and collaborative work that prioritizes equity, education, and creativity.
