Caycedo received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. She has held residencies at the DAAD in Berlin; The Huntington Libraries, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California; and the Office for Contemporary Art in Norway, among others.

Exhibiting Artists: William Camargo, Alyssa Chandelle, Sandro Canovas, Jazmin Garcia, Camille & Melinda Hoffman, Joanna Keane Lopez, Carlos Jaramillo, Ozzie Juarez, Arlene Mejorado, Reyes Padilla, Ronald Rael, Daisy Quezada Ureña, Ernesto Yerena Montejano, Jose Villalobos, and Cougar Vigil.

Exhibition Curator: Tracy Fenix (Native Tejana), USC MA & MUP
Exhibition Assistants: Jordan Gonzales, MUP/MA and Alice Zhao, MA

This is a Macomber Travel Grant Exhibition

A contemporary cohort of Indigenous, Latinx, and Immigrant artists and activists working in the southwestern United States are engaging with ancestral adobe structures and construction to resist artistic, cultural, and ecological assimilation. Predominant expressions of land-based art and environmental activism in the US have historically ignored Indigenous and Latinx contributions, and at the same time, acquiring critical reception or scholarly notice has been tied to the whitewashing of cultural signifiers. These artists and activists preserve ancestral adobe and ecological practices to keep its roots within Indigenous heritage while promoting its inclusion to canonical land-based artworks and also promoting its environmental sustainability in the deserts of the Southwest.

Our upcoming Roski Talks lecture is on Tuesday, Mar 28, 7pm and is with Sadie Barnette where her multimedia practice illuminates her own family history as it mirrors a collective history of repression and resistance in the United States. The last born of the last born, and hence the youngest of her generation, Barnette holds a long and deep fascination with the personal and political value of kin. Barnette’s adept materialization of the archive rises above a static reverence for the past; by inserting herself into the retelling, she offers a history that is alive. Her drawings, photographs, and installations collapse time and expand possibilities. Political and social structures are a jumping off point for the work, but they are not the final destination. Her use of abstraction, glitter, and the fantastical summons another dimension of human experience and imagination.

Roski Talks are open to the public and free.

Opening Thursday, Mar 23, 6pm; The exhibition, ‘the poetics of failures, Jiayun Chen focuses on two cultural phenomenons: mistranslated Chinese character tattoos on western bodies and poorly translated English T-shirts in Asia. Jiayun Chen calls this, “the poetics of failure". It all started with the artist’s fascination with cringe-worthy Chinese tattoo images on the internet. The Chinese characters are mostly misspelled or mistranslated. This thesis exhibition highlights those failures in translation between languages and symbols. Using ceramics, installation, and drawings to consider translation as a central action that flirts, bonds, and reflects the relationship between cultures, Jiayun highlights the slippage that occurs and echoes the complex exchange between cultures. The work considers paradoxical gestures while posing questions about cultural exchange/appropriation, through humor, wit and the poetic.

Jiayun Chen is an artist from Wenzhou, China. She earned a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts (2020) and is currently a Master of Fine Arts candidate at the USC Roski School of Art and Design (2023). Chen is drawn to slow-paced artmaking processes, relying on drawing, sculpture, and installation as her preferred media. She is interested in language and the inevitable slippages that occur as a result of communication. She finds inspiration in social phenomena, creating work that twists the familiar through wit, humor, and the poetic. She has been invited to participate in the collaborative project, Swept Away: Love Letter to a Surrogate (forthcoming, 2023), featuring pairings of East and West coast artists. She will have her work featured in the upcoming exhibition "in the depth of the mouth inhabits the light that takes shape" curated by Nahui Garcia at Fellows of Contemporary Art gallery opening on January 28.

Opening Thursday, Mar 23, 6pm; The exhibition, ‘Are You Looking Right Now?’, Brett Park showcases his art practice that encompasses a range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, and more, to explore themes of sexual and gender identity as they interact with and contradict my Korean American background. I employ the physical deconstruction and reconstruction of materials to metaphorically dismantle social norms and challenge hegemonic forces that constrain my self-expression. While much of my work's content is based on personal experience, I believe its essence resonates with universal experiences of conformity. Through my art, I strive to critique and push against societal pressures to conform, ultimately creating space for personal and collective liberation.

Opening Thursday, Mar 23, 6pm; The exhibition, ‘meet me where the sun sets east’, Sarvani Kolachana displays summers in India: the rattling stand fan offered my great-grandmother no respite from ballooning heatwaves; my mother was chased by red monkeys; my skin unraveled into thread and kalamkari textile. in the land where the sun sets east, tables groan under glass pots and tiffin boxes and Hindus pray in household temples. Ammas cook, clean, and weave together family fabrics and, at night, hold their children close like precious patchwork.

In this series of paintings, textile works, and animations, Sarvani Kolachana explores notions of Indian femininity and collective memory. She layers canvas with fabric and thread, submerging herself in the imaginary land where the sun sets east.

There, we will meet.

Opening Wednesday, Mar 22, 6pm; The exhibition, ‘shock collar’, by Ashylnn Trane showcases her exploration of autonomy, labor, domestication, connection, and beautification through the material and conceptual intersections. Ashlynn Trane (she/her) is a multimedia artist from Washington, DC, currently earning her BFA at USC.

Trane intertwines drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, and fashion to develop a multidimensional visual language. She investigates how these components operate in regard to her identity as a biracial woman. Trane’s recent work features the dog as a motif that considers how the interspecies relationship between humans and dogs runs parallel to inter-human social power structures. The three-headed dog and hybrid combination of k9 and woman function as multi-conscious representations of self. Trane seeks to reveal and deconstruct tools of oppression and reimagine them in ways that empower and protect herself as well as pay homage to subjugated bodies. Trane’s debut solo exhibition, “shock collar” illustrates this journey.

Vrinda Aggarwal: leave out 02/14/2023

Opening Friday, Feb 17, 6pm; The exhibition, ‘leave out’, by Vrinda Aggarwal explores identity construction, considering the discourse of representation and aesthetic value. The exhibition charts the hybridization that comes from displacement, thinking through the negotiation of what you bring to a new home, what you leave behind, and what you throw away.

Using mundane objects and liminal spaces as materials, the work interrogates what fades into the background and is accepted as routine. Creating daily rituals and rules for collecting materials to locate the self and meaning-making is analogous to mindfulness practice. Through the exhibition, she seeks to create an ongoing space for acceptance, embracing simultaneity, hybridity, and even failure.

Roski Talks: Lucy McRae 02/14/2023

Our upcoming Roski Talks lecture is on Tuesday, Feb 21, at 7pm, and is with designer Lucy McRae who leads a multi-disciplinary, art-research studio investigating the impact future technologies have on human evolution.

The lecture will be on ‘World-building to Inspire New Science + Technology’.

In parallel to her gallery and museum-focused art practice, she thrives as a director and a maker, in the writer’s room and the lab. Boldly staring down the status quo, Lucy pioneers a new story for how future technologies will fundamentally alter human intimacy, reproduction, spirituality, biology, and wellness culture — shining light on the ethical implications of genetic engineering. Her prophetic aesthetic is flung far from archetypal tropes, creating nostalgia for a future about to happen. Lucy’s work diversifies the predictive voices we traditionally call ‘science’ and ‘technology’, by designing hypothetical worlds that use speculation to explore ideologies and ethics about who we are and where we are headed. Based in Los Angeles, Lucy is a visiting professor at architecture school SCI_Arc, is a TED fellow, a World Economic Forum 'Young Global Leader', and is currently a world-building and futurist consultant to a number of Hollywood productions with multiple Oscar-winning directors and producers.

Roski Talks are open to the public and free

The exhibition is composed of varied mediums by two Black artists with artwork from depictions of beauty, to the intricacies of intersectionality. With cultivating a continuous conversation at the forefront of the exhibition, "The Black Experience" is an ongoing project that transcends beyond the gallery.
