The presentation includes three off-site exhibitions giving greater access to individuals interested in this international survey. Grand Central Art Center On view June 30-September 15 Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana is hosting Colombian artist Adriana Salazar for a two-month studio residency, from early May through June.

The Guggenheim Gallery at Chapman University On view June 30-September 14. York Chang's and Mitchell Syrop's two person exhibition at The Guggenheim Gallery at Chapman University presents the artists interest in the fabrication of supposed truths through the authority of text and context. The pairing of their different methods of investigation, provides exciting, new constellations and timbres of their respective work, while showing the continuation of conceptual approaches in L.A.'s most recent art history.
