Choreography of the Inherent Chaos: monotype/drawings and sculpture by Gary Frederick Brown
Suite B222
On view October 1st - December 1st

This exhibition of monotype/drawings and mixed media sculptures by Gary Frederick Brown is ted by Dean Ruth Weisberg of the USC Roski School of Fine Arts. Brown creates compelling images employing materials possessing unusual structural and textural qualities. The resultant works tend to express his vision of the sub-microscopic realm of physics and at the same time the stuff of the cosmos: planets, galaxies and nebulas. He supposes that in a fractal sense we are to our planet as the cells in our body are to us, and similarly the planets in our solar system to the galaxy and the galaxy to universe. He envisions God existing in the sub-molecular realm. Venturing to take it one step further, he entertains the possibility that the super strings communicate on a sub-molecular level resulting in Karmic ripples in our reality pool.

Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas
MOCA Pacific Design Center
On view October 21^st through January 20^th

Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas traces the searing graphic art made by Emory Douglas (b. 1943) while he worked as Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until its discontinuation in the early 1980s. The Black Panthers cultivated a strong graphic identity for their group and their politics during this period, bringing their concerns to the public through newspapers, posters, and pamphlets that can often be described as angry, militant and incendiary. The mainstream media and the FBI characterized the Panthers through their creative output—using images of gun-toting African Americans or satirical caricatures of porcine police to fuel the view that they were a threat to national security.  Organized by Sam Durant with MOCA Chief Curator Paul Schimmel, this compelling exhibition presents approximately 150 of Emory Douglas’ most influential works.
