DIMENSIONS: WORKS BY JOHN BOYCHUK exhibition documentation, 2016
No full textExperiencing a transition from working primarily with clay here at California College of the Arts, John Boychuk has created a series of sculptures that present the intricacies of the way the body, physics, and art are interwoven.Wrapping the pieces around his body in what the artist terms a “dance”, Boychuk’s actions themselves are written in the graceful sweeps of the wooden bands. The wire twists in all directions around the wood, both securing the pieces together to create the larger form and shaping the voids that his body had once inhabited. Displayed within the library are books that have motivated Boychuk’s practice, including the 19th century satirical novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions . In Flatland and in the sculptures on display we see the examination of dimensions taking a central role in the work. Situated both on the ground and in the air, the delicate lines and negative space of the objects navigate one’s eye through the artist’s study of dimensions and the body’s interaction in space

Advent of a Form Exhibition Documentation
No full textThe CCA Library Exhibitions Program presents Advent of a Form, by CCA graduate student
Carolina Magis Weinberg, which proposes a reconsideration of space in terms of its geometrical
potential. In a play of scale, the two walls, floor, and ceiling of the library’s store front become
the axis of a Euclidean space, making the X, Y, and Z dimensions visible. The image operates
then as a map of itself. In this way, the temporal quality, elemental in the understanding of
Euclidean space, will be considered literally as the form morphs throughout the number of days
of the exhibit. Explained succinctly with homophones in French, the form will go from début to
debout, from its origin to its standing position. Additionally, display vitrines extend this form
into the space of the library. The project will be morphing and changing week after week, until it arrives at its final form on December 12th
