The song was coming,
between the passed and the present.
Right now.
Waiting for the show.
(Still, I could spot some slight hits, I hope this will help.)
RTS is excited to host a collaborative performance/talk with artists Louise Porte and Gabriel Garza on Tues., Sept 25th at 7:30pm. Louise Porte is at RTS as part of a residency exchange program with Artistes en Residence, an artist residency program in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Louise’s housing is provided by 2727 California, a residency program in Berkeley. Gabriel is the current artist in residence at 2727 California.
About the Artists: Louise Porte is a French artist graduate of the Clermont-Ferrand school of Fines Arts (MFA), in Clermont-Ferrand. She lives and works between Lyon and Paris. Her work includes plastic and scenic arts, using video, photography, installation, drawing and performance. She explores the boundary between reality and fiction, transposing the everyday to create new situations. Landscapes are like theatre stages, gestures like dance, wondering if something happened or is in latency.
Gabriel Garza received a B.A. in Art, and Minor in Music History from UCLA in 2017. His artwork is based around popular music, and its history that encapsulates and pinpoints cultural attitudes that have served as fuel for contemporary art practices. Mainly working in sculpture and performance, objects such as records, ephemera and promotional items, as well as the obscurities and emotions in the histories of musicians and labels, are key influences on his work. He is the September 2018 artist-in-residence at 2727 California Street, an art and education initiative in Berkeley.
About Artistes en Residence: Began in May of 2011, the project Artistes en Résidence aims support to visual artists by providing them a work space, accommodations and financial assistance. The two main goals are studio work research and exchange between different actors of contemporary art.
