At the Everson

  • Filmmaker and photographer William Strobeck spent a good part of his teenage years on the Everson Museum’s Community Plaza during the 1990s. It was here that he discovered a skateboarding crew populated by “weirdos and outcasts” who, in turn, introduced him to a global diaspora of creative individuals with a similar DIY ethos and punk rock spirit....

  • Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez is a Colombian American artist who explores her heritage through works that combine Colombia’s material culture, history, and natural world. For the works featured in Dream Map and Cornucopia, Friedemann-Sánchez begins with an image of a ceramic vessel that speaks to the complex history of Latin America and its diaspora. she then transforms these vessels into bountiful cornucopia, bursting with flora and fauna that evoke Colombia’s rich ecosystems. Together with the Everson’s Paul Phillips and Sharon Sullivan Curator of Ceramics, Garth Johnson, Friedemann-Sánchez has also selected an array of ceramic works from the Museum’s permanent collection that reflect her interest in Latin America’s tapestry of Indigenous and colonial cultures....

Although he spent most of his career directing episodes of popular television shows from the 1960s to the 1980s, he is best remembered for his stark photographs of the horrors of war. Beginning with his photographs on American soil and ending at the Battle of the Bulge, this exhibition traces how Florea’s photography shifted from the polished and posed portraits of Marines training in California and women working for the USO in Texas to the gritty, haunting photos of bombed out cities and military executions....

  • Benediction honors DuSell’s work in wood during a particularly fertile period in the 1970s when his works became kinetic and interactive. This exhibition features large-scale works, including three rocking chairs containing musical elements powered by their rocking motion that were originally exhibited at the Everson in a 1980 solo exhibition....
