Filipino American Heritage Month reception, First Thursday October 1, 5-8 pm
LOVE EMPIRE, a new solo exhibition by James Lawrence Ardeña, explores the state of Filipino America, the lasting effects of colonization and the emotional constructs in which we confine ourselves. As a self-taught ar...tist, Ardeña developed his own techniques combining images from vintage travel and anthropology books, found objects, organic materials, and text encased between layers of resin. The final assemblage is permanently cast and suspended in time, recontextualizing the original images and objects depending on the perspective of the viewer.
For his largest and most ambitious work to date, Ardeña will transform a portion of ArtXchange Gallery into the environments depicted in his resin and mixed-media paintings. Viewers will be able to enter the world of Ardeña’s assemblages as if caught in the artwork itself. Inspired by dioramas found in natural history museums, the surreal ‘dreamscape’ will be inhabited by archetypal images ranging from the Jollibee icon to historical indigenous Filipinos, as well as flora, fauna, and celestial elements. Ardeña’s work brings history, anthropology, pop culture, and personal memories together into a colorful installation that encourages audience interaction and reflection in a space where love rules - offering a collective articulation of the struggle to self actualize, love ourselves and each other.
James Lawrence Ardeña has been a Seattle arts organizer since the mid-90s and is co-founder of isangmahal arts kollective in Seattle, the LA Enkanto Kollective, and Mixt Up Productions. His artwork was recently seen in How the Soy Sauce was Bottled at Wing Luke Asian Museum and in Sarii Cycle: A Dialogue of Love at Columbia City Gallery.

The new exhibition by Deborah Kapoor at ArtXchange Gallery explores how prana flows through form and formlessness, the seen and the intimated. Read More
