Title Round Simone Shubuck Pouter , 2006 Lithograph, edition of 40 Framed: 19 3/4 x 15 1/2 inches Estimated Value Range: $500 - $800 Starting bid: $200 Bidding increments: $50 More: Simone Shubuck Born in 1969, Simone Shubuck received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She has had a solo exhibition with Zach Feuer Gallery (LFL) in New York and has exhibited works in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and San Francisco. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Tokion, Elle, The Fader, ARTnews and is included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Shubuck’s work is informed by a range of experiences, from her days as a graffiti artist in San Francisco in the early 90’s to her years as a flower designer in New York City. She professes an affinity for Viennese Secessionists and Art Nouveau practices as well as the work of such outsider artists as Edmund Monsieul and Lee Godie. Her visual style parallels her obsession with the layered sampling of hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Dipset, Cam’ron and Young Jeezy. Another notable influence comes from her maternal grandmother and great-grandmother, who were skilled bakers and embroiderers.

Jan 28-Jun 5, 2022 J.J. Adams Flowers in Temporary Hands Jan 28-Jun 5, 2022 J.J. Adams, Booker (by the creek) , 1959. Courtesy the artist's family archives J.J. Adams’s Flowers In Temporary Hands explores the role that privilege and race play into an assemblage of any one identity. With four distinct iterations–an artist book, video performance, sound, and sculptural landscape–Flowers In Temporary Hands abstractly layers images as language, culling from a steeply personal and concealed post generational memory. Through a staircased soundscape, the audience is guided into a layered installation of images mounted on a labyrinthine chain-link fence, an echo of the artist’s most significant detainment as a teenage child. Flowers In Temporary Hands addresses legacy through photographs from Adams’s estranged grandfather’s archive, pages from Adams’s teenage journal while institutionalized, and newly produced poems that reflect on the artist’s past state of mind. All come together to reveal a striking but not uncommon portrait of a boy whose narrative of self has been mostly shaped by their single white mother. A series of tender gestures paired with visceral critical inquiry, Flowers In Temporary Hands reminds us that identity, just like history, is both contingent and incomplete. This series of stories has been built from a myriad of people, places, and moments in time. About the Book J.J. Adams’s first publication, Flowers In Temporary Hands , pairs images with language to establish a symbolic universe that mixes personal memory, loss, and desire. Composed of three sections that address different periods in the artist’s life, Flowers in Temporary Hands acts as a timestamp to closure. In The Toothpaste Diaries , Adams shares pages of their journal: a collection of drawings, collages, and writing created during a defining moment of teenage incarceration. These richly layered pieces are juxtaposed with works from the Gregory Adams Archive . This collection of black and white photographs taken by the artist’s estranged grandfather document his own collegial life, from the playing field to the classroom. Poignantly capturing two distinct moments in time, The Toothpaste Diaries and the Gregory Adams Archive are threaded together by Boys Like Us: Part One , a series of formatted and densely layered poems that reflect on J.J. Adams’s past and the construction of family vs. identity. J.J. Adams’s Flowers In Temporary Hands is organized by Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) as part of Toby’s Prize, a biennial award made possible by Toby Devan Lewis. About the Artist Jesse Hoffman Jesse Hoffman (b. 1989, San Francisco, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, CA. Hoffman’s practice is rooted in the examination of the transitional passages of self-acceptance, belonging, and image over time. With a background in performance, still life photography, and commercial set design, Hoffman uses the archive, the object, and the portrait as form. Hoffman’s work lays bare the complication inherent in identity, emphasizing the poignant resilience and fugue in image/world making.

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 Jessica Mein obra trinta e um , 2013 Collage 41 x 34 inches Estimated Value Range: $3,000 - $4,500 Starting Bid: $1,500 Bidding increments: $250 Jessica Mein (b. 1975, São Paulo, Brazil) is a Brazilian artist whose work spans across drawing, animation, and physical investigations of discarded billboards, often from her hometown of São Paulo, and hand-printed hemp bags from Dubai. Her art challenges traditional boundaries between image, surface, and structure, frequently questioning the very materials that support her creations. More: Jessica Mein Artistic Practice Mein’s work is deeply rooted in labor and construction, which is reflected in her use of the Portuguese word obra (meaning both "work of art" and "construction site") to describe her practice. She often repurposes images from obsolete billboards, especially in the context of São Paulo’s ban on outdoor advertisements, where the works subvert censorship by recycling these materials for new purposes. Mein’s process includes unthreading, puncturing, and unraveling canvas and fabric, reminiscent of the work of Lucio Fontana, to reveal the raw, structural elements behind the image. This deconstruction reveals the object's physicality, turning the artwork into both a finished product and a site of ongoing creation. Mein also engages with the notion of tramas —a Portuguese word signifying both tapestry and entanglement —which relates to her intricate manipulation of materials. In her series Obra Quarenta e Quatro , the artist explores systems of production through obsolete billboard fragments transferred to hemp, a slow and labor-intensive process. Through her unthreading, cutting, and imprinting processes, Mein creates abstract compositions that juxtapose the image and its material base, emphasizing the relationship between surface and structure. Notable Works and Exhibitions Mein has exhibited widely in solo and group shows across the world, with notable exhibitions at El Museo del Barrio (New York), Museo Tamayo de Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City), The Julia Stoschek Foundation (Düsseldorf), and the Drawing Center (New York). Her solo exhibitions include Obras at Simon Preston Gallery (New York) and Tramas at Galeria Leme (São Paulo), where she presented new wall-based works and large-scale spatial structures that further explore the boundaries between image and support. About the Artist Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Mein’s work investigates the intersection of physicality, urban spaces, and the rapidly disappearing materials of the past. Drawing inspiration from the outdated billboard structures of São Paulo and the hand-printed hemp bags found in Dubai, Mein focuses on the obsolescence of visual culture and the labor-intensive production of images. Her artistic investigations emphasize the tension between the rapidly changing world of digital imagery and the slow, deliberate handcraft of her own work. Currently residing in Dubai, Mein is a resident artist in the A.i.R. program run by Art Dubai, Delfina Foundation, and Tashkeel.

Jul 7-Jan 7, 2024 A soft place to land Kevin Beasley, Margarita Cabrera, Pia Camil, Cass Davis, Alexandra Kehayoglou, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Kaveri Raina, Liang Shaoji, and Marie Watt Jul 7-Jan 7, 2024 A soft place to land , installation view at moCa Cleveland, 2023. Photo: Jacob Koestler About the Exhibition A soft place to land highlights artists who use textiles to unpack personal histories and underscores the metaphorical and material importance of fiber arts in connecting these stories to broader cultural and societal narratives. Rooted in explorations of the physicality of memory, this exhibition demonstrates the ways that textiles function as, “containers of collective and individual memory, as devices capable of triggering emotional, psychological, and even physiological reactions, and as tools for expressing or retaining identity and narratives.” The artists in this international, intergenerational exhibition build upon fibrous foundations to share the moments and traditions that shaped them, elevating what may be thought of as mundane or ubiquitous objects to emphasize the immeasurable value of one’s lived experiences. Themes of resilience, homesickness, and the desire to feel connected emerge within this examination of material culture. The artwork in A soft place to land showcases the influence of place and placemaking on one’s identity, confronts intergenerational trauma and trauma associated with upbringing, and celebrates materiality as an essential tool in self-discovery. Installation Images A soft place to land . Installation views at moCa Cleveland, 2023. Photos: Jacob Koestler About the Artists Margarita Cabrera Margarita Cabrera A self-defined social practices artist, Margarita Cabrera ’s (she/her) work is often fueled by collaboration from community engagement to get a holistic view of social issues. Materials such as US Border Patrol uniforms and cochineal-dye are used, and transformed, to deliver a multi-tiered conversation on topics such as globalism, populism, and the migrant experience. Often in playful representation, Cabrera’s work, such as embroidered soft-sculpture potted desert plants; mimicking parrots made from found border patrol uniforms; and collaged works on paper made with cochineal dye, implores viewers to confront contentious topics by utilizing materials tied inextricably to the issue. Cabrera was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and moved to El Paso, TX at the age of 10. She received an MFA from Hunter College in New York, NY and is currently an assistant professor at the Arizona State University Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.

In March 2023, Beasley released A View of a Landscape , a 300-page book and double LP record, conceived as equal elements and designed together. The publication is produced in collaboration with the Renaissance Society and The University of Chicago Press. Recent exhibitions and performances include The Dirty South: Contemporary Art, Material Culture, and the Sonic Impulse , a touring exhibition curated by Valerie Cassel Oliver, which traveled from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (2021), to the Contemporary Art Museum of Houston (2021), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (2022), and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver (2022); and Prospect.5, New Orleans: Yesterday we said tomorrow (2021), in which Beasley began a multiyear site-specific project in the Lower Ninth Ward.
