Millard Sheets Art Center

Re-post: Millard Sheets Art Center Raised in Los Angeles, photographer Star Montana (@starmontana) uses her community in Boyle Heights as the backdrop and narrative of her work. By utilizing her family’s photographic archive, Montana’s work recreates spaces and moments that reflect on themes of personal loss and growth. Her carefully reconstructed installations play a personal homage to her family throughout the generations. Her work has been exhibited nationally at Charlie ...James Gallery (@charliejamesgallery), Residency Art Gallery (@residencyart), La Plaza de Cultura y Artes (@laplazala) and at Ballroom Marfa (@ballroommarfa). Montana will be an artist-in-residence at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (@rauschenbergfoundation) in 2020. ...Shifting Aesthetics: A Selection of Works by 11 Contemporary L.A. Artists opens on Aug. 30 and runs through Nov. 3, 2019. Schools and universities are encouraged to book their docent-led walkthroughs of the exhibition.
