In her first solo museum exhibition in the US, We Are Extraterrestrial, Alice Wang showcases recent prints, glass sculptures, and newly commissioned ceramic sculptures, film, and an artist book that reflect the artist’s deep curiosity for the space between the real and the imaginary. Wang employs a post-minimalist approach to expand material boundaries and explore medium specificity. Wang's new sculptural works, realized in collaboration with East Los Angeles College's Art Department, explore hexagon shapes found in volcanic sites and molecular structures and experiment with scale and perception.
Open to all students who have been enrolled, successfully completed, and produced artwork in an arts class at East Los Angeles College in Spring 2023, Fall 2023, and Spring 2024 Semesters and any corresponding intersession terms (Winter and Summer). The exhibition will feature a range of ceramics, photography, painting, drawing, digital illustration, and mixed media works produced exclusively by East Los Angeles College (ELAC) students.
Museum Hours: Tuesday-Saturday from 12:00PM to 4:00PM, with extended evening hours on Thursdays only, from 12:00PM to 7:00PM.
