SUMMARY:Creations from Within\, Vol. 2
DESCRIPTION:Taking inspiration from the solo albums of hip hop artists\, Edgar 8ahau Fernandez uses Creations from Within\, Vol. 2 as an opportunity to showcase his commitment to his craft and display ten years of artistic growth since his first solo exhibition in 2013. Disrupting the myth of the lone creative genius\, Fernandez invited a group of artists with diverse talents to collaborate on the exhibited pieces\, adding new perspectives and context to his artworks. The contributions from his collaborators are like features\, samples\, or guest producers on a hip-hop album\, each facet further proof that no one makes great work alone. \nThe works in Creations from Within\, Vol. 2 explore the stream-of-consciousness approach that has helped Fernandez express his most authentic self. The disparate works are unified through a symbolic color palette that visually and conceptually connects the images: gold represents light and energy; black symbolizes balance and groundedness; red indicates resilience and ancestral wisdom.  He hopes viewers can tap into their own creative power to transform their stories\, their perspectives\, and their futures. \nArtist Gallery Hours \nFernandez will be holding special weekly viewing hours until the close of this exhibition. Though visitors are welcome to stop by anytime the gallery is open\, Fernandez will be available to give individual tours to patrons at the following dates: \nMonday\, Sep 18th\, 1 – 4pm\nWednesday\, Sep 27th\, 10am – 2pm\nWednesday\, Oct 4th\, 10am – 2pm\nWednesday\, Oct 11th\, 10am – 2pm\nWednesday\, Oct 18th\, 10am – 2pm \nClosing Reception \nClose out this exhibition with us on Friday\, October 20\, 5:30-7:30pm! Fernandez will be present to answer questions and discuss the works with visitors. Afterwards\, stick around for the Las Cafeteras show at the Chandler Center for the Arts! \nExhibition Photos

SUMMARY:Unbound
DESCRIPTION:Image courtesy of Diyar Al Asadi \nThere is an unspoken sense of responsibility shouldered by artists who are people of color. Every piece these artists make is a story first told during the creation process\, and then again when reimagined through the eyes of viewers. While each work remains the personal expression of an individual artist\, it also becomes representative of a community – the voice of many. \nFor these artists\, it becomes second nature to take on the role of representative in addition the role of creator. Outside of their communities\, they know their work will always be experienced as a window into what can feel like another world. While there is a satisfaction in fulfilling this role and welcoming viewers into these unique experiences – whether joyous or uncomfortable – we must not forget the beauty and joy that comes purely from the act of creating. \nAcross the variety of media represented within this show\, what unites these artists is the level of personality present in their work. While each artist has a practice of embedding their culture and history within their work\, the pieces bring forward the artists as individuals and show us what they find beautiful and meaningful.  These paintings\, sculptures\, photographs and videos invite viewers in close and reveal something new each time. The artists have\, if just for a moment\, become unbound from the responsibility of representation and allowed themselves to be not just representatives for their communities\, but themselves. \nCurated by Alison Auditore \nExhibiting Artists:\nDiyar Al Asadi\nKatherine Del Rosario\nPiersten Doctor\nAshley Macias\nFarnaz Mansouri\nBrianna Noble\nMaria Rivas\nRembrandt Quiballo\nCora Quiroz \nExhibition Photos
