In Santa Monica…haleARTS debuts a new group show featuring the work of Erin Jade, Patricia Hardmeier Leeb, and Adam Nisenson. Erin Jade is a local artist, raised in Malibu. “I was born with a stroke, which made me very intuitive to my body, and other sensory tools; such as touch, hearing and vision. Having had a ‘weaker’ physical body has allowed me an even stronger mental capacity for imagination.”

Patricia Hardmeier Leeb is a multi-talented Art Director and award-winning Designer with experience in broadcast motion graphics and print design. In this show, she is exhibiting her one-of-a-kind Monotypes. Monotype is a special printmaking process made by painting on a smooth aluminum plate. Using a printing press, the image is transferred onto a single sheet of paper, destroying the original artwork by creating one single unique print.

Adam Nisenson’s current series of art uses old psychology books, mainly those of Carl Jung which he tears up and collages onto art-boards as a base for what then becomes of study of depth and layering with encaustic (wax), paint, collage and image transfers.

Oct1-2016-FutureTongueFuture Tongue hosts its closing reception for the group show “Extraction.” Enjoy a dance performance and a video installation created by The Ladies Dewald. This piece touches on the relay of information that gets past on through time and people. Changing slightly with each passage. Also, the electronic project NK-Riot will be performing live. Which is best described as an imaginative, electric orchestration of reverberating synth pop.

This collection of new paintings and prints is absolutely stunning together. With themes of nostalgia and history running through them, they explore the caves of memory. If you haven’t been able to come by in person, it’s your last chance to celebrate the final night of “Extraction.”
