THE DEPARTMENTAL
Juried Student Departmental Exhibition Fall 2020
This exhibition was juried by the Art Department Faculty. Three or more votes were necessary for works to be included. Our two outside jurors iris yirei hu and David Bell juried the awards.
iris yirei hu (b. 1991, Los Angeles, CA) is an artist who works in painting, fibers, text, and installation. She is interested in how people, places, and things are related, and sees art practices as a manifestation of entangled interdependencies. Her work centers learning as a method of engagement and is both research-based and dependent on lived experience. iris has shown her work at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), Oxy Arts at Occidental College, John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Women's Center for Creative Work, Human Resources, Lenfest Center for the Arts (New York, NY), and Visitor Welcome Center. Her work has been reviewed and featured in the LA Times, Artforum, Carla, CNN, Sinovision, KCET, and X-TRA Online. She has been supported by the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship, Foundation for Contemporary Art Emergency Grant, Rema Hort Mann Foundation Artist Engagement Grant, among others. She is the co-founder of the emi kuriyama spirit award, an unrestricted artist and writer grant for those practicing in LA.
David L. Bell (b. 1983, Tampa, FL) is an artist and independent arts organizer who directs the Los Angeles-based art gallery Visitor Welcome Center, which he founded in 2016. Much of his work and collaborative projects are inspired by his upbringing on a southern California ecological preserve, where he was raised in a family of environmentalists. He is interested in storytelling, lyricism, and craft, and through Visitor Welcome Center, he works with artists to cultivate tangible and creative possibilities of lifelong artistic and soulful connections. Through connection, acknowledgement, and relationship building, art becomes a possibility towards truth and reconciliation. In the past, Bell worked both as a firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service and as a park ranger at Upper Tampa Bay State Park. His education is informed by hip hop, and he studied visual art at Metafora School of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, Spain and at the University of California, Los Angeles. Currently, he is programming a yearlong series of exhibitions at Arm Gallery and is working on finishing his second book of short stories.
