Agenda

HOW TO JOIN THE MEETING:

Inspired by crisis, Perin Mahler’s large-scale, epic narrative paintings reflect a recent and profound period of self-interrogation on behalf of the artist in light of social and environmental justice-related events. Informed by philosophic, sociological, and art historical developments, and concepts, Mahler’s works in Mirror represent a significant pivot in the artist’s oeuvre.

Navigating the intersection of parenthood, artistic production, and constructions of identity inform Kaitlynn Redell’s newest works on view in Mirror. The artist will discuss how periods of “intense togetherness” between her and her young children during COVID-19, led to the creation of work that is simultaneously specific and broadly accessible.

History—familial and historical—and the haze of memory inform Gretchen Batcheller’s paintings on view in Mirror. Situated between abstraction and representation, her paintings critically revisit her family’s generations of military service, as well as her earliest memories of living on military bases throughout Japan.

Meet Alkaid Ramirez, an emerging OC-based photographer whose newest mixed-media work in Terrain pays homage to and spotlights his local community. His photographs of swap-meet locals, coupled with material references to domestic spaces, yield work that is simultaneously playful and sentimental.

Alkaid’s work has been exhibited at Redwood Art Association, Eureka, California; Carnegie Plaza at MUZEO, Anaheim, California; and the Latinx Project.

Meet cross-disciplinary artist Beth Davila Waldman, whose work is featured in the exhibition Terrain. Learn about her creative practice, conceptual and material explorations, and how the “Divisions” series reflects her personal and social concerns. Her art practice has been influenced by borrowed symbols and landscapes from her maternal homeland Peru as well as other international sites such as Hong Kong and Vietnam.

The Irvine Police Department's Property & Evidence Unit is responsible for maintaining custody and control of evidence, found property and property held for safekeeping, and equipping police personnel with necessary gear such as safety equipment and uniforms.
