Oakland, CA—May 13, 2019. Mills College Art Museum is pleased to announce the 2019 Art + Process + Ideas (A+P+I) Exhibition, on view from June 23–Sept 1, 2019, featuring new work by current A+P+I artists in residence, Constance Hockaday and Cate White. The artists share a community centered approach to art-making and a desire to take creative risks within their practice. The A+P+I program was established to support Bay Area artists who embrace this spirit of experimentation and social consciousness. The residency fosters interdisciplinary
collaboration and provides opportunities for the students, faculty, and staff of Mills College and the wider Bay Area, to interact, learn, and work with local contemporary artists.
Constance Hockaday explores the neurological processes triggered in emergency survival scenarios and clumsily plays with how to apply them to slow motion disasters of global and historical proportions. For the 2019 A+P+I exhibition, Hockaday presents FutureHellNow, part of an ongoing inquiry into American ideas of disaster and the future, which the artists refers to in her practice as the Survival Series. FutureHellNow is both an installation and a performance space where Hockaday has constructed a potential domestic reality that integrates our less visible but ever present internal alarm and perpetual panic.
Cate White shifts from working within familiar concepts and processes to risking improvisation. She is interested in the question: what happens when we allow ourselves the freedom to evolve? What do we lose and what do we gain? White views the A+P+I exhibition as an opportunity to integrate known and unknown, private and public, controlled and free, self and other, within her practice. Work displayed from the first half of her time in residency will demonstrate writing, paintings, sculpture and an installation around subjects and themes the artist has been exploring for the past five years: cultural constructs of gender, race, power, beauty and how emotional intimacy allows for new perceptions. The rest of the works in the exhibition—experiments in painting and sculpture, video performance, plein air painting, and a sketchbook zine—will track the evolution of her work during the remainder of her residency, marking a transformation in her approach to art making.
