Eduardo Consuegra’s exceptionally elegant solo presentation with The Fulcrum is still viewable by appointment throughout the rest of the run of Away from Desk at @wilshireonline until March 15th!
Inauguración Miércoles 4 de Junio en Cali! Para Asonancias Dispares en Jenny Vilá, Consuegra presenta una serie de sus pinturas abstractas que hacen alusión a la pintura de campos de color norteamericana (Color Field painting), en una escala más íntima. La aplicación del color está guiada por el espacio que genera el tratamiento del soporte. El lino, teñido y encerado, es intervenido con vapor, evocando un espacio multidimensional mediante la simple economía del proceso: saturación u opacidad del pigmento, o la remoción abrupta de la cera. El juego que se establece entre el espacio del soporte y las marcas de color promueve una dinámica de avance y retroceso (push and pull), haciendo partícipe al público en un paisaje liminal de asonancias dispares.
Please join us for the final weekend of ‘Interstice’ by @eduardocon open today and tomorrow 1-5pm with a closing party with @be_dizzle from 6-10pm
Whether in painting, collage, exhibition photographs, or as devitalized remains housed in display cases—every object in Interstice moves through recursive systems of translation. Eduardo Consuegra works with signifiers from what David Wojnarowicz once termed the pre-invented world, reconfiguring them through robust processes. Rooted in an ongoing dialogue with printed matter, particularly images that once functioned as advertisements, catalog entries, or architectural records, the works in this exhibition at The Fulcrum have been shaped by prior installations and photographic interpretations, and appear with the diachronic traces of their lives in other spaces.
In ‘Interstice’, disparate forms, condensed by the artist’s hand into a series of incommensurable glyphs, suggest meanings that are neither nostalgic nor contestations of the veiled histories they depict. The display case, containing the ‘actual’ objects that have cycled through these recombinant processes of mediation, serves as both an anchor and an unreliable index. Objects do not settle into any kind of final explicative gesture; they double back, refract, or slip just beyond our partial view.

Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is pleased to present Signal Fires, a group exhibition which brings together twelve artists with ties to Southern California, all of whom are negotiating concepts of communication across vast distances: conceptually, formally, spiritually, and geographically.
In both recorded and fictional history, the act of lighting signal fires or beacons on high mountains to alert and relay urgent transmissions across spatial expanses is a story of language and how it can operate outside of the alphabetic or textual. This poetic, primeval telecommunication system requires pre-formed plans and communal understanding of the signal’s intention. Signal fires were precursors to heliographs, semaphore flags, lighthouse beacons, and Morse code. While the relationship of geographical location and relay of message are a thread that ties the works together, it’s the title words (signal and fires) which can playfully run into one another, becoming signifier, a slurred understudy of the central theme.
Approaching their processes of creation through the lenses of temporal and geographic language, the artists in the exhibition signal both to the past and towards an unrealized future. They are speaking strongly to concepts of duality: identity and heritage, technology and spirit, mythologies and personal narratives. Ultimately, it’s the signs and symbols of visual language that hold significant weight.
