On April 9, 2024 David Kordansky Gallery hosts an art talk at 6pm with Evan Holloway as well as Brontez Purnell. See below for more info about all the exhibitions which run through April 27, 2024.

Evan Holloway

The new exhibitions debuting at the gallery are Cobbler by Evan Holloway,  Skin of the City, by Martha Diamond, No heaven, no how by Jared Buckhiester.

Cobbler features new sculptures and works on paper by Evan Holloway. In this exhibition, the artist pursues the labyrinthine paths of sculpture’s long history. He has produced works that reflect an altogether contemporary state of mind while drawing liberally from modernist, ancient, esoteric, and popular lineages.

This polymathic sensibility has allowed him to produce works that are unmistakably his own, both in terms of concept and execution. Forgoing the kind of industrialized processes that many artists would use to produce similarly ambitious forms, Holloway works hands-on, at 1:1 scale, creating objects that are attuned in equal measure to internal weather patterns of intuition and abstraction, collective cultural phenomena, and a sense of connection with a wide range of audiences.

Martha Diamond

A solo exhibition titled Skin of the City features paintings made between 1980 and 2000 by Martha Diamond (1944–2023). This is Diamond’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Throughout her six-decade career, Martha Diamond dedicated herself to the investigation of built environments. In addition she explored corporeal relationships to volume and perspective that often manifested through depictions of the metropolis. Born in New York City in 1944, Diamond moved with her family to the borough of Queens. From an early age, she accompanied her father (a doctor) on long car rides into Manhattan. He would go on house calls. These trips imprinted the memory of urban movement, a shifting skyline, evolving infrastructure. In 1969, Diamond moved into a studio in the Bowery, where she would live and work for her entire career.

Jared Buckhiester

Finally, No heaven, no how, a solo exhibition by Jared Buckhiester. It features sculptures, paintings, and works on paper curated by Hilton Als. An in-gallery conversation between Als and Buckhiester will take place at the gallery on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 6pm in Los Angeles.
