Residency Art Gallery is extremely pleased to present Felix Quintana’s solo exhibition titled, Cruising Below Sunset. This exhibition will run from June 4th through July 16th, 2022 with an opening reception that will take place on Saturday, June 4th from 6pm to 9pm. Residency is proud to show yet another exceptional exhibition that highlights our area of South Central Los Angeles, seen through the lens of an artist of the diaspora. So join us this Saturday to celebrate Felix Quintana and the awesome work that he has created. Quintana family pupusas and refreshments will be served and the vibes will be curated by DJ HunnidGee! 🇸🇻🇸🇻 ABOUT THE EXHIBITION: Cruising Below Sunset documents Quintana’s movement across space and time with the places that have shaped his work and life, including Los Angeles, San Jose, and his parents' home country of El Salvador. Cruising Below Sunset is a re-imagining of home, collective memory, and place through Quintana’s experience as a first generation Salvadoran-American from Los Angeles. Featuring new work created during the pandemic, Quintana intrinsically explores analog and digital photography, collage, and sculptural installation processes as well as looking at the street as a site for artistic activism, intervention and critique. Through different threads of this new body of work, Quintana views his hometown Los Angeles being reclaimed and re-imagined as a site of survivance for Black, brown, immigrant, working class people, and all those who are pushing against the realities of gentrification, mass media narratives, and corporate surveillance. Cruising Below Sunset seeks to empower the narrative of migration, movement, and mobility of the Black and Brown diaspora in Los Angeles, for the purpose of elevating one another, and underscoring our futurity through a re-imagining of the past and present moment. #gpla @galleryplatform.la @residencyart #inglewood #contemporaryart #losangeles @lacma #lacma @hammer_museum @moca #hammermuseum #madeinla #residencyart #residencyartgallery #moca #theundergroundmuseum #artandpractice #sculpture #installationart #figurativeart #portraitphotography #portraiture #🇸🇻 @hollywoodparkca
