OPENING TOMORROW: “FROM COMMON GROUND” FEATURING MARWA ABDUL-RAHMAN’S “ALWAYS COMING HOME”

From :

Sidecar Gallery is delighted to present “From Common Ground,” a group exhibition featuring work by Los Angeles area artists Sarah Awad, Marwa Abdul-Rahman, Mira Dancy, Kenturah Davis, Brad Eberhard, Asher Hartman, Alice Könitz, Ruby Neri, Laura Howard Parker, Camilla Taylor, Patricia Valencia, Emmett Walsh, and Eric Zammitt. From Common Ground will be on view from July 12 - August 23, 2025 at Sidecar Gallery in Los Angeles, CA. There will be an opening reception from 6-8pm on July 12, including a performance by Marcos Lutyens.

The works by artists in “From Common Ground” engage with a robust variety of themes ranging from tensions between figuration and abstraction in painting, to land use and water rights in the American Southwest, and ideas about the collective and individual human experiences in the natural world.

This exhibition is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Fondation Valmont through its mission to promote contemporary art, foster intercultural dialogues, and support visual artists on a global scale.

“From Common Ground” is curated by Salim Moore, academic curator at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College, and brings together a creative exchange of work by artists with roots in Altadena, California. The artists were assembled through a collaboration between the Fondation Valmont, Marcos Lutyens, and Night Gallery.

BURN ME! EXTENDED THROUGH JULY 19TH

“In the midst of seemingly never-ending environmental and political crises, it feels more and more difficult for voices to be heard, and art to be seen — whether that’s because it is destroyed by fire or maced by police. With Burn Me!, The Box posits one way forward. These artworks grow under immense natural and unnatural threat, boasting their scars as new metaphors for contemporary life in LA.”
