In the midst of yesterday’s cloudy and rainy weather, it seemed fitting that the Joshua Liner Gallery presented an exhibit with enough summer vacay vibes (and Whitney Houston cassette tapes) to transport guests to the sandy beaches of Florida—or the streets of Los Angeles—with one walk around the gallery.
That’s My Trip, curated by Andrew Schoultz, filters a wide range of artists’ styles and visions through the lens of travel. Artists including Michel Tabori, Ryan Travis Christian, and Timothy Bergstrom brought their individual styles together for a group show that’s more like a family road-trip. Schoultz got the idea for the show after having dozens of conversations with artists about their works that always ended in the same phrase—“So, that’s my trip.” “I found this an interesting phrase to explain yourself to someone,” Schoultz noted in a press release.
Berkeley-based artist Libby Black created a series of paper works and oil paintings for the exhibit. Her installation, Taking a Trip, Not Taking a Trip, explores the possessions that informed Black’s family trips to Florida as a child. Gucci flip-flops and starfish in one installation? We can already feel the sand between our toes.
Patrick Martinez showcased mixed-media painting and sculpture that incorporated his signature neon lighting, referencing urban influences from his upbringing in Los Angeles. In the painting Bougainvillea Stash Spot, a bird is perched on a branch amid leaves, flowers, a knife, and a bag of Hot Cheetos. It’s this juxtaposition of mediums and subjects that runs through the entire exhibit, managing to blend the separate artists and their work together.
We’re in need of a vacay, and That’s My Trip just convinced us that it’s probably time to start booking that flight.
That’s My Trip runs through May 2
