Galia Linn 2021 - EXHIBITION PAGE

galia linn:

BEAUTY QUEEN,

HEARTBREAKER,

HIGH MAINTENANCE


January 23 to March 20, 2021


Track 16 presents the second solo show by Los Angeles-based artist Galia Linn in the exhibition, Beauty Queen, Heartbreaker, High Maintenance. The exhibition will run from January 23rd to March 20th. The exhibition features an installation of new sculptures and paintings created during this past year. Open to visitors by appointment. The gallery staff will be masked, distanced, and following safety protocols.


Galia Linn’s new body of work intimately addresses how tradition and spirituality are imbued in ritual objects, intermingling the notions of both women’s empowerment and human mortality. For decades, Linn has drawn inspiration from neolithic proto cities located in modern-day Southern Turkey, a society whose burial practices involved entombing the bones of deceased community members below the beds of the living, which suggests that there was no separation between life and death. In addition, evidence shows that men and women were equally treated. This exhibition builds on these ideas yet goes in a more personal direction. Because of the enforced isolation of the past year, instead of reaching outward to use distant societies as inspiration for her work, Linn turned inward, thinking about the relationship between life and death within her own cultural upbringing. The work follows Linn’s larger life-long mission of intermingling art and life and creating a seamless combination of the two.

ARTWORKS

  • BUILDING BLOCKS

    In the last gallery an intimate viewing wall is set up to display 36 small “test” sculptures created to experiment with unique glazing techniques. Each of these “Building Blocks” is itself a small jewel forged from the earth. The handmade forms comprise an archive of Linn’s material language.


    At $300 each, one third of the sales go towards supporting A Room of One’s Own, an artist’s residency for women and women-identified artists of all disciplines living in L.A. District 9 (South L.A.). It provides a studio, stipend, exhibition space, and a mentorship network through Arts at Blue Roof (newly launched as a non-profit).
