H is paintings seamlessly integrate ancestral heritage\, pop culture and spi ritual themes—executed with a stunning technical precision that he has h oned over the last 25 years. The scale\, level of detail and trompe l’oe il within his works create an immersive and mesmerizing world that is trul y something to behold. \nComing from a long line of storytellers\, childho od dyslexia made continuing this family tradition challenging\, but simult aneously led him to explore various visual media. In painting\, he found a vehicle to continue his storytelling lineage. Growing up\, Chucho was gre atly influenced by his grandfather\, a woodworker: \n“My grandfather tau ght me that being alone never meant you had to be lonely. I believe alone- time is where the magic lives. Attention to detail and precision is part o f every painting I create.” – Chucho \nIndah Gallery is open Fridays\, Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm-5pm. \n*Gallery cannot be accessed from H wy 154\, only from N Refugio Rd.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years.

This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re. Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) honors the humanity o f those whose lives have been reduced to statistics\, offering a stark con trast to the cold\, bureaucratic erasure that often accompanies death with in carceral systems.

United States\, 1945–2021). Known for her temporary public installations and performances\, Sherk developed her ini tial landscape architectural intervention Portable Parks I–III (1970\, w ith Howard Levine) by temporarily transforming San Francisco urban “dead spaces” into lush\, living environments complete with sod\, palm trees\ , and live animals. Sherk expanded this approach as the founding director from 1974 to 1980 of Crossroads Community (the farm)\, also known simply a s The Farm\, an experimental community art and ecology center. Active unti l 1987\, The Farm reconnected parcels of land fragmented by freeway constr uction\, conceptualized new uses for overlooked urban landscapes\, and lai d the foundation for a global movement to reclaim urban spaces.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 traces Sherk’s sustained commitment to art and ecology in the public sphere and her influential role within the first generation of California Conceptual and performance artists\, as wel l as within the artist-run space movement of the era. It showcases newly t ransferred film and video alongside rarely seen photographs\, collages\, w orks on paper\, artist books\, printed matter\, and ephemera documenting S herk’s early performances and site-specific interventions of the 1970s a nd 1980s.\n\nThe AD&A Museum is an educational partner of the multi-year i nitiative High Performance: A 2-Year Conference (2025–2027)\, which cele brates and historicizes High Performance (1978–97)\, the first internati onal magazine devoted exclusively to performance art. Through educational collaborations and programming\, this exhibition highlights Sherk’s feat ure in the magazine. UCSB students will also offer personalized tours of t he exhibition as a reflection of their learning environment and varied dis ciplinary interests.\n\nBonnie Ora Sherk: Life Frames since 1970 was organ ized by Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco and curated by Tanya Zimbardo. The presentation at the Art\, Design & Architecture Mus eum at UC Santa Barbara is curated by Ana Briz\, AD&A Museum Assistant Dir ector and Curator of Exhibitions. The exhibition at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture was generously supported by San Francisco Grants for The Ar ts\, the FMCAC Board of Directors\, and individual contributions to the Fo rt Mason Fund.

Gua temala\, 1985). Rooted in land-based methodologies and ancestral material knowledge\, the exhibition examines migration\, collective memory\, and th e relationship between human and more-than-human systems across time. Cent ral to the exhibition is the socially engaged work\, Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) (2020–ongoing)\, where Amézquita casts in s oil sourced throughout the United States the names of individuals who have lost their lives while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2003 and today. \n\nOn November 1 as part of Día de Muert os (Day of the Dead) celebrations\, Amézquita will publicly update the wo rk with the names of those who have passed away in recent years. Each name is hand-cast using soil from the state where the person died\, combined w ith masa\, salt\, and rainwater—materials that carry cultural\, ancestra l\, and elemental resonance. This method of making is both devotional and political: a way of calling the body back into presence and refusing erasu re.
