RTS is excited to welcome Jan/Feb artist in residence, J Rivera Pansa!
J Rivera Pansa is an Oakland-based artist working in sculpture, installation, and performance. They work in mythologizing material ability for autonomy augmenting the embedded histories beyond utilitarian functions and rigid expectations. Through objects, they narrate the potential agency of the inanimate and those predominantly seen as a secondary or the often overlooked. Their work seeks to showcase the possibilities of individual authority for actions through spaces. They received their B.A. in Art Practice at University of California, Berkeley. They have shown work Rhythmix Cultural Works, Kearny Street Workshop at Arc Gallery, AS Gallery at San Francisco State University, California Center for the Arts and a collaborative piece in the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. Rivera Pansa is a member of CTRL+SHFT Collective in West Oakland.
