Drawing by Jesse Chun
$1000Title: "Score (for unlanguaging) no.0815"
10 1/2" x 13 inches graphite, pigment, vellum paper, english stencil, eraser, watermarks, pins, wood frame 2021
Jesse Chun is an artist whose practice addresses language and its politics to uncover new translations toward poetry, opacity, and the untranslatable. Through video, drawing, sculpture, sound, installation, and publication, Chun reauthors found documents, bureaucracies, historic archives, and the hegemonic narrative. Chun's conceptual and material process engages with the often disregarded linguistic traces - such as mistranslation, erasure, redaction, and stutter, as an active passage to legibility and authorship.
Chun's work has been presented internationally at SculptureCenter; Queens Museum; The Drawing Center; BAM; Bronx Museum of the Arts; the Vera List Center for Art and Politics (all in the United States); Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto; Oakville Galleries (Canada); and the Nam June Paik Art Center (South Korea), among others. Recent awards include the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant (2020); Smack Mellon studio residency (2020); and the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship at ISCP (2019). Chun's select digital and print publications include WORKBOOK (published by Triple Canopy, 2019); Intangible Heritage (Wendy's Subway x BAM, 2018). Select public collections include the Museum of Modern Art Library; the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Libraries and Special Collections; the Smithsonian Institution; Yale University Library; Asia Art Archive in America; Whitney Museum Library, and more.

Ating Earrings
$115Hand-rolled, hand-cut, and hand-stamped polymer clay earrings: Golden Eye Earrings are gold polymer clay with black cellulose acetate and blue-eye charms; Blues Fan Earrings are two tones of blue polymer clay. Both pair have brass findings.
Michelle Penaloza started making earrings for herself and her friends during pandemic lockdown as a way to manage her sadness and anxiety; She found it a sweet, tangible way to send people some love, some luck, some silliness and joy. Each pair she makes is one of a kind, haha, mostly because She hasn't (yet!) made the same pair twice! You'll find a mix of lightweight materials--cellulose acetate, hand-cut and hand-stamped polymer clay, brass, rattan, charms--and a variety of icons/interests--Chinese zodiac stamps, food charms, Frida Kahlo--throughout her store. Michelle has been told they make great Zoom/FT conversation starters + garner lots of compliments! Michelle hopes a pair (or two!) will bring joy to whomever you might gift these (especially if that person is you!).

"Mylar Reveries, Foliage"
$250Mixed media piece, 12" x 12" x 1" Foil-lined packaging adhered with PVA on 100% rag board, UV varnish, in shadowbox frame under UV plexiglass
Denise Laws' interest in manufactured materials, fabrications, packaging, foiled-lined airtight bags and pouches, candy wrappers, Tetra-Pak, and the detritus that winds up in our landfill, informs her work. 'Mylar Reveries' is an awakening and relocating, of predestined discard, revealing the beauty hidden within disposable consumer culture, re-focusing through a different lens and filter on what we acquire and consume. The everyday cast-offs are re-envisioned, re-cast, and then collage into shimmering motifs, landscapes, and topographies.
She received her BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in the Interdisciplinary Department, 2001 and was the recipient of the SFAI Merit Scholarship. Her final graduating artwork was included and published in the 2001-2002 San Francisco Art Institute BFA Catalog.
In 2000 honorable mention in Best of the Bay Guardian and an image of her work was featured in Zyzzyva, a San Francisco Journal of Arts & Literature. She annually donates her time and artworks to various local and national charitable organizations' art auctions and benefits. She was accepted as a participating artist in The ArtSpan Studio Residency from 2016 until 2018. ""Artificial Quarry"" image is in San Francisco, Root Division's, MFA Never 2016 archive book project. She was one of fifteen featured Artists juried into ArtSpan's Selections Show at The Midway in San Francisco and 2017, nominated for The Fleishhacker Foundation, Eureka Fellowship Grant.
