DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia
Allison, Paul W. Evans, Kim Tucker
November 2 – 25, 2012
Opening reception:
Friday, November 2, 7-10pm
WEEKEND is pleased to present Days of Our Lives, a
collaborative installation of individual works by Sophia Allison, Paul W. Evans
and Kim Tucker.
Memory as a tool for
peculiar identity / Identity as a device for eccentric inclusion
Using memory as a tool to celebrate home, community and
place within the confines of tradition and convention, Days of Our Lives seeks to situate each viewer within the cosmos that
emerges through the combination of these three artists’ distinct narratives. With each artist rationalizing, rectifying
and remembering home as a present and tangible monster, the installation propels
viewers into a collective vision that is confrontational yet caring; as meditative
as it is frightening.
Each artist addresses our conflicted need to fit into a
community or structure that is too saturated, routine and tedious or whose
paradigm has simply run its course. By
joining together to manifest their own sanctuary at Weekend, a new collective existence
is gained through obsessive acts, irony, humor and unique reflection:
Sophia Allison collects,
cuts and reconstructs materials to form abstracted physical and emotional
landscapes. Her sculpture has been exhibited in Los Angeles
at d.e.n. contemporary art, the Craft and Folk
Art Museum, the Los
Angeles International
Airport and most recently in North Carolina at Brevard College.
Paul W. Evans
investigates landscape and the subconscious through repetitive appropriation. His paintings have been seen in Los Angeles at the Institute
of Cultural Inquiry, the Center for
the Arts/Eagle Rock and he has exhibited widely in New York. He has curated numerous
exhibitions in the Los Angeles area and received
his BFA from the School
of Visual Arts, NY.
Kim Tucker creates
communal identity through individual psychological storytelling. Recent shows of her sculpture and drawing include
exhibitions at L2Kontemporary, ShoeboxLA and AC Projects. She has attended artist residencies in Europe
and the United States and received
her MFA from the Ohio
State University.
