In Part Two! a shadow out of the noise, a hyper-visceral experience is created by Beck+Col’s avant-garde use of opera, heavy metal, and fantastical wearable sculptures in their otherworldly performances.Creating overwhelming sensations that employ both the visual and auditory in decidedly non-traditional contexts, Beck+Col unleash the inner-self to arrive at raw and unrestrained human experience.
The exhibition will be on view from July 8th – September 9th, 2023.
This exhibition is supported by the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles and the Pasadena Art Alliance. Funding is also provided by the California Natural Resources Agency for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.

Solace / Sublime
Solace / Sublime is a group exhibition featuring the work of artists who look to phenomena of the natural world as a primary source of inspiration. The exhibition, curated by Molly Enholm Velazco, brings together the work of Contemporary Southern Californian artists Samantha Fields, Megan Frances, Yvette Gellis, Virginia Katz, R. Nelson Parrish and Molly Enholm Velazco, seeks to explore a contrasting notion through the very elements often associated with the sublime experience. Through exploring these forces of nature, these artists embrace the dichotomies of the natural world: the minute and overwhelming, the eternal and the ephemeral, the solace and the sublime.
The exhibition will be on view from July 8th – September 9th, 2023.
The gallery is open to the public Thursday – Saturday from 10am to 4pm. To learn more, please visit angelsgateart.org.
Funding is provided by the California Natural Resources Agency for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.

LA County Department of Arts and Culture Sara Abrahamsson is a visual artist and Art History major at UCLA. Her artistic passions and interest in the administration of arts organizations led her to this exciting role at AGCC.
As a culmination of her research in Cuban post-revolutionary graphic art, Sara will complete an Honors thesis in her final year at UCLA. In her art practice, she explores themes of queerness in large-scale acrylic paintings, often tying historical events to her own experiences.
