Days of Our Lives
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.
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.

ShoeboxLA Kickstarter Campaign
This past June ShoeboxLA completed its first exhibition season.
As we are a pop-up, mobile space, and our openings/exhibitions are only 3
hours long, we'd like to create a catalogue to highlight all the great
work that artists have created for our small gallery this past year. We need your help--we
are asking for funds to be used for the creation and printing of a
modest-sized catalogue. The catalogue will be printed locally (in Los
Angeles), and we hope to create 500 copies. It will serve as an
important piece of documentation for ShoeboxLA; we'll allocate 2-3 pages
for each artist to include images of their exhibitions with us during
the past year. Please check out our great incentives for donating and
thanks in advance for your support!

ShoeboxLA presents Karen Frimkess Wolff
ShoeboxLA, my and Sophia Allison's labor of love gallery, is presenting its final show for our first ever season. It's been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable projects I've done and I'm always amazed and impressed with what artists do for us. The support for ShoeboxLA has been so great and working with my cohort Sophia has been nothing short of perfect. Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and for supporting artist-run spaces in Los Angeles.
Join us on June 16 for Karen Frimkess Wolff:

ShoeboxLA Presents
Karen Frimkess Wolff: Dancing on Eggshells
Saturday, June 16, 2012
from 4-7pm
Little Tokyo Galleria – Second Floor
333 S. Alameda St (at 3rd), Los Angeles, CA 90013
ShoeboxLA concludes its inaugural season with Los Angeles artist Karen
Frimkess Wolff. Wolff’s presentation, Dancing on Eggshells, traverses
gracefully and joyfully through precarious times and fragile circumstances, while
stepping triumphantly onto beds of roses and ultimately into safety. Wolff, a Los Angeles native, has been exhibiting her
sculpture, drawings and installations for over 40 years. She received her BA in Painting and Drawing
from UCLA and her MA in Art History from Cal State Northridge.
ShoeboxLA is pleased to be returning to the Little Tokyo
Galleria, the location for our first show in September of 2011.
ShoeboxLA gives Los Angeles artists an
opportunity to do one-day,
site-specific exhibitions outside the traditional gallery setting. Founders
Sophia Allison and Paul W. Evans provide an intimate space that challenges
artists' and viewers' expectations of size and scale. Locations change for each show but the space
remains the same.

– private appointments are welcome.
(Little Tokyo Galleria is
easily accessible via the Metro Gold and Red lines, with plenty of street and free,
one hour, on-site parking.)
