Main Gallery

Bad Marks celebrates the expressive potential of the mark in all its forms. Bringing together artists working in drawing, printmaking, painting, and installation, the exhibition explores the line as gesture, record, accident, and intention. Scribbles, scratches, stains, cuts, erasures, and repetitions become evidence of thinking made visible. Embracing the awkward, unruly, and unexpected, Bad Marks argues that every mark has the potential to become language, create symbols, and document communities. The exhibition expands our understanding of mark-making, revealing its limitless possibilities as both technique and expression.

Artists include:
Jenna Bonistalli, William Camargo, Enrique Castrejon, Tristan Cruz, John DeCastro, Meg Gonzalez, Frankie Gutierrez, Sara Hassan Khani, Erika Lizée, Michelle Ohm, Dino Perez, Kat Tagorda, Salvador de la Torre, Alkaid Ramirez, Beverly Salas, Jose Guadalupe Sanchez III, Katie Stubblefield, Sophia Wolfe, and Eve Wood.

Bad Marks is presented as part of the 2026 Hyper SoCal initiative. 

Project Gallery

The Ballad of Discard and Decay, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Stephanie Sherwood, includes the artist’s continued exploration of works using discarded materials. Since 2019, Sherwood’s art practice has been shaped by her ‘Confine In Situ’ series of temporary installations created using discarded furniture found visibly to drivers, pedestrians and residents-alike across the city. The exhibition features documentation of this project alongside site-specific works as well as paintings and sculptural works which continue to deteriorate and become visually fragile. These vulnerable materials reflect the vulnerability of the human body and experience and include the artist’s signature varying still life of soft, fleshy materials spilling out of basket-like structures.
