Clarissa Tossin’s first solo exhibition a
t Samuel Freeman, “How does it travel?” brings together photographs, sculptures, prints, and site-specific works that analyze movements and their resulting displacements and transformations.
She tracks materials, ideologies, and bodies that travel by foot, by car, by plane, and by her own hand. Using two primary nodes, Brazil and the United States, Tossin finds generative ground in transpositions that yield compelling misregistrations.
Save the Date June 13 (4pm) for an art talk & book release of Tossin’s new book.

Susanne Vielmetter Projects celebrates the opening of two new exhibitions.
“Valkyrie” is an exhibition of new work by New York based artist, Chloe Piene. Piene is known for her evocative figurative drawings and the power of her video work. Piene will debut three new videos and a suite of drawings called “Valkyrie.”
See image: by Chloe Piene
In both her videos and drawings, Piene eclipses information and renders the invisible to create a harrowing experience in which the opposites of fear and strength materialize in the opposition of Soldier and Valkyrie.
The gallery will also feature its second solo exhibition with Elizabeth Neel, “Lobster with Shell Game.” Neel’s new paintings have a palpable immediacy that suggests that composition is continually in flux. Her abstract gestures evoke the body, natural geometries, and man-made signs and symbols like Rorschach blots and linguistic codes.

Then in the Hollywood area…
Kayne Griffin Corcoran presents “Wind(shield),” a new body of work by Liza Ryan. Suggesting at once landscapes and crash scenes, moments of quietness and violent impact, these works present an important culmination of long-running themes in Ryan’s work.
Ryan’s images are the visualiza
tion of an ongoing exploration of the idea of separation. Looking closely at boundaries such as skin, the walls of a house, or the cars that separate us from the world we speed past, she examines the fluidity of opposing concepts such as interior and exterior that we often take for granted.
Also debuting tonight is “Accidental Menagerie,” an exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Max Hooper Schneider. Installed in the south gallery, Schneider will present new large-scale sculptural projects.

Displaying the breadth of his inquiries, the exhibition Painting (Organic) features three interrelated bodies of work: paintings that share concerns with sculpture; a major display of photographs that document abstraction in the built environment; and an installation of colored lights and painted live plants, the latest in a series of plant-related works that he has made over the last decade. Each work addresses how marks, painted or otherwise, affect and are informed by the contexts in which they are made.
