UCI ‘Dissolve’ Art Exhibition Will Be Open Through The Fall Season

“Dissolve” is the newest exhibition at the Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art (IMCA), organized by the UCI Claire Trevor School of the Arts. 

“Dissolve” is focused on the transfiguration of both personal and physical forms and the process of dissolution in between two solid states. 

UCI professor of African American studies Bridget R. Cooks curated the gallery, which consists of loaned pieces and other selected artworks from the Langson IMCA’s permanent collection as well as two original artwork from Kenyatta AC Kinkle and Linda Grass.

Hinkle is a multidisciplinary artist whose work focuses on historical events, healing and her own personal relationship with the past in her work. Hinkle’s artwork and writings have also been displayed at The Studio Museum in Harlem, Project Row Houses, The Hammer Museum, The Museum of Art at The University of New Hampshire and many more. For more information about Hinkle you can visit her official website.

Hinkle’s piece, “THEY: A Temple of Black Personality ⟮Allensworth⟯” is a three-part, multi-medium collage that functions as the centerpiece of “Dissolve.” Hinkle merges family photos and paintings to display the history of Allensworth, the first settlement in California to be constructed and occupied entirely by African Americans. 

Altogether, Hinkle’s piece explores the metamorphosis of Allensworth from a town to a national park. Bright colors create a celebratory mood that is contrasted by the lack of solidity in the image. The piece elicits the bittersweet feeling that accompanies grieving something that isn’t sad, like saying goodbye to an old home.

Environmental activist and artist Linda Grass collaborated with UCI professor of anthropology Valerie Olson, on the ever-changing landscape of the Santa Ana River, to create “When We Listen to the Watershed,” made from layers of sheer woven cloth. Together, they explore how the formation of the river has been rerouted by human intervention after it was taken from Native Americans. 

Grass uses her work to merge activism and art by recreating  maps of stitching and embroidery. 

In an interview with ShoutOutLA, Grass shared, “growing up in Los Angeles during the drought in the late 1970s made me aware of the preciousness of water and that realization turned into a passion for incorporating water and land use issues and the impact of climate change into my art.” There is a nostalgia and youthfulness to her art that contrasts the complicated problems of climate change and water pollution.

“Dissolve” also features three works by Ana Terea Fernández: “Ice Queen,” “Of Bodies and Borders” and “Siren Song.” These pieces explore the idea of femininity  and the painful social pressures women are asked to endure. 

There are two pieces by Joe Goode. “Vandalism II” depicts the destruction of California sunsets through careless human intervention of nature, while “Photo Cloud” explores the medium of photography through paint.

Works by artist Lia Cook, “Gridlock” and “Passport,” contemplate what is lost when human figures are digitally recreated.

Sonia Romero offers two pieces, “Fall” and “Inner Landscapes,” which explore the process of surrendering. In the plaque beside her art, Romero states, “By falling or surrendering, one can gain a feeling of support… the feeling that you’re not alone.”

Other works featured in the gallery include a painting by William Wendy “Santa Ana River,” photography by Erica Deeman, “Blush/Wave/Hybrid” by Eric Zemmitt, “Centers” by Chris Fraiser and two sculptures by Dewain Valentine and Helen Pashigian. 

“Dissolve” is open from Sept. 21 to Dec. 10, from 12-6 p.m. It is located in the University Art Gallery at 712 Arts Plaza. It is free to enter and viewers can stay as long as they would like. For more information, you can visit the “Dissolve” webpage. 

Hinkle and Cooks will also converse about the artist’s creative process and research on Nov. 8. There will also be a short film screening of Hinkle exploring Allensworth. Register and learn more about the event here. Emma McCandless is an Entertainment Intern for the fall 2022 quarter. She can be reached at .

Billy Al Bengston in his Hawaii We lost Billy Al Bengston October 8, 2022 Born in Dodge City, Kansas June 7, 1934 I was introduced to Billy by Dewain Valentine in 1979. Like all the older artists I met in Venice then, Billy was very kind to me. I puzzled over why because sometimes they didn't seem so nice to each other. I figured they came up together and were just competitive, but since I was the kid, I wasn't much of a threat. And as a sculptor and not a painter, maybe I got away clean? These artists, unlike those that followed, presented their work straight-up without irony or any didactic back story. They wanted their work to move you, to wow you, to please you, and to inspire you. I became an artist because I saw art as a kid that did just these things. Billy was a charismatic, influential, smart, funny, often sweet, sometimes cynical, and always complicated artist. Isn’t a great artist necessarily this way? Yes. And he was my friend now sadly gone.
