Garden Song
Curated by Charlie Alston & DeLyna Hadgu
December 19th — January 10th

Curated by Charlie Alston and DeLyna Hadgu, Art/Space 114’s seasonal exhibition Garden Song gathers nine LA–based artists whose practices approach community as something built through attention, labor, and lived specificity rather than as an abstract idea or mere rhetoric. Across painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation, stories recur as neighbors, musicians, workers, family members, solitary witnesses, and evidence of their psychic imprints are organized with a sense of proximity that collapses documentation and imagination.

Anchoring the exhibition, Charlie Alston’s painted greenhouse installation introduces a literal site of cultivation, with plants provided by Topanga Nursery. This is mirrored by a reading room with books donated by Reverie Bookstand that treats listening, reading, and quiet exchange as active forms of participation and modalities of care. Sound moves through the space as a parallel register—songs, voices, ambient recordings, and fractal melodies—extending the show’s quality of attention to the durational and slightly magical, encouraging us to stay present with one another a little longer.
