CAMHLAB | Dana Caldera | From ...

CAMHLAB artist-in-residence Dana Caldera presents From Paper to Fabric, an expansion on her layered, collage-based artwork that explore ideas of sentimentality and materiality. Caldera approaches her found paper collages as if they were textiles, considering the paper as fiber and incorporating found textiles in her work. In this process, she removes the constraints of a traditional stretched canvas, wooden board, or paper backing to explore the intersection of quilt and collage. Caldera will use the studio space at Montrose Collective to construct large fabric works that explore this intersection in addition to hosting community sewing circle events, an important component of the work. In the work that is produced and its related public programs, From Paper to Fabric embraces the artist/caretaker role in order to model a family friendly environment that welcomes children and ensures they are safely included in all events.

Public Opening | Mariah Garnett: Dreamed This Gateway

Join us to celebrate Mariah Garnett: Dreamed This Gateway, the first U.S. solo museum presentation of Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker Mariah Garnett. The exhibition features new and recent operatic videos, including a site-specific, multi-channel installation commissioned by CAMH. Working in collaboration with experimental vocalist Holland Andrews, Cairo-based documentary playwright Raphaël Khouri, and professional opera singers Christopher Paul Craig and Breanna Sinclairé, Garnett has created a new body of work inspired by an archive of materials related to the enigmatic and remarkable life and artistic output of her great-great-aunt, Ruth Lynda Deyo (b. 1884, Poughkeepsie, New York; d. 1960, Cairo, Egypt).
