Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it. This talk features Lani Trock.
Art Talks at Brand invites contemporary artists to discuss their work and the issues surrounding it, followed by a moderated Q&A with Brand staff member, artist, and writer Jennifer Remenchik. Artists are selected to reflect the diversity of the art scene of the greater Los Angeles area.
Lani Trock (b. 1984) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice centers in harmonious world-building. To awaken the collective imagination and actualize a new operating system for society, she works with organic sculptural materials to cultivate gentle environments, and invites visitors to contemplate from their unique voice and vision, how they would imagine the world at peace. Engaging with art as a spiritual practice, honoring the studio and gallery as spaces of devotion, she builds ephemeral altars and invites collaborators to activate them in joyful co-creation. In communion with her site-specific, immersive installations, she facilitates group expressions of improvisational sound and movement techniques. Trock was born and raised in Hawai’i, and has a BA in Philosophy from UC Santa Cruz. She is a longtime resident of Los Angeles and an active participant in its interwoven art & music communities. This year, she’ll be showing work as part of Material Prophecies; Craft as Divination, at The Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, (February 20-August 1) – and then as part of UNFOLD PROJECTS, exhibition 01, at The Institute of Contemporary Art, San Diego, (May 30-August 2).
The series is sponsored by the Brand Associates and is free and open to the public. Arrive early to view the current exhibition, Neighborhood Ecology, presented in partnership with Glendale Unified School District.
