Meet the Artists of RES#110:
Bennie Allain (he/him/his) - Bennie lives in Dawson City, in Canada's North. Inspired by tole-painted crafts, country decor, fortune-telling, suppers, and community sports, his work is a bumbling attempt to track the evolution of small-time conversations into local myth and legend. He makes collages, assemblages, songs, meals, writes for the local newspaper, and plays hockey with the Dawson City Hockey Association. @bennieallain @amediocreoracle
Le'Andra LeSeur (she/her/hers) - Le’Andra LeSeur (b. 1989 in Bronx, NY) is an interdisciplinary artist working and living in Jersey City, NJ. Her work explores black identity informed by the effects that regulated systems of oppression have on black women, specifically. Through visual media, installation, and performance, her hope is to reclaim and dismantle stereotypes surrounding black female identity through the reworking of conventional art forms and mundane objects - ultimately reshaping the context of spaces where the lives of the oppressed are silenced and celebrated in the same breath. @ellechien
Lexy Ho-Tai (She/her/hers) - Lexy Ho-Tai is a multi-discplinary visual artist and teaching artist, interested in the intersection between art-making and making the world a better place. She disrupts the exclusive and elitist tendencies of the art world by working in non-traditional art spaces, repurposing discarded and recycled materials, collaborating with artists working across multiple disciplines, and engaging with diverse audiences. Through soft sculptures, performance, installation, murals, and workshops, her public and participatory practice employs humor, play, and absurdity to invite viewers to contemplate pressing social and environmental issues. She believes that joy is a radical act of resistance, and that play forges a powerful space for audiences to envision and work towards alternative futures. @lexymakesthings
Victoria Aravindhan (She/Her/Hers) - Vickie Aravindhan is a queer Indian-Chinese Singaporean artist, curator, big eater, and sometimes singer based in Los Angeles exploring the ramifications of assimilation and hybridization as a result of colonial diaspora and the functions of myth as history, codes and truth. She mainly works with, video, installation and sculpture. Never opposed to play, experimenting, dialogue and building community. @vickiearavindhan
Oree Holban (He/they) - Oree Holban is a visual-installation artist, a performer, and a singer-songwriter. He likes to play with words, plasticine, and create childlike-neon-Rock’n’Roll-meditative worlds. His work is very much inspired by nostalgic American 50s of the previous century, Buddhist life and aesthetics in queer present time, and the Fabulous 50s of the 21st Century. He would like to share his ongoing colorful journey with others, explore hidden truths and transcend together the barriers of our own bodies and minds. @oreeholban
Abigail Rothman (She/Her/Hers) - Abigail Rothman (b. 1997, Phoenix, Arizona) is a multidisciplinary artist and activist exploring subversion. Her work challenges and critiques tradition within society, art history, and its political and social manifestations. Through digital and physical abstraction pre-existing content is removed from its original context, existing as objects and realities the viewer must confront. Acknowledging and altering the relationship between people and these scenarios confronts the conventional understanding and priorities of traditional art making processes. In turn, questioning the social transparency and accessibility of knowledge as a reflection of extreme political and social hierarchies. @abigailrothmanart, @mywomancard
