About
The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs recently debuted their new exhibition, To View a Plastic Flower, at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, which runs until April 19, 2020. Samira Yamin received her MFA from the University of California, Irvine, and a dual BA in Sociology and Studio Art from the University of California, Los Angeles. Yamin’s work has been exhibited nationally including solo exhibitions at the Santa Monica Museum of Art (now Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles) and PATRON Gallery in Chicago, and her work was recently acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Yamin currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
Central to the exhibition’s title and themes, To View a Plastic Flower, is Buddhist monk and antiwar activist Thích Nhất Hạnh’s idea of “inter-being,” meaning nothing can exist by itself, instead, everything has to “inter-be.” To View a Plastic Flower presents 3 discrete installations, including Abigail Raphael Collins’ experimental documentary and video installation, Out of Play, the sculptural work in Samira Yamin’s Passing Obliquely From One Medium Into Another (examining war photography) and T. Kim-Trang Tran’s three-channel video installation projected on hand embroidered screens.
LAMAG is located at 4800 Hollywood Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90027.
