The act of meditation is a process and a subject in this exhibition. The artists collected in Actualize are present and mindful. They engage in highly focused, repetitive behavior both through meditation in their everyday life and in the creation of artwork. They contemplate perception, the transference of energy, and the tangibility of materials ranging from colored pigment to voice to opinion. Actualize means “to become real,” and is a reference to both the artistic process of making, as well as to the holistic process of self-actualization, or to realize one’s full creative and spiritual potential. Actualize, featuring Kianna Alarid & Ben Kinsley, Rachel Cohn, James Juszczyk, Veranda Moot & the Los Angeles Meditation Ghostwriter’s Guild (L.A.M.G.G.), Mónica Palma, and Alexis Semtner, is on view at Ortega y Gasset Projects from January 11 - February 15, 2014.
