Five Thirty Three in collaboration with de Soto Gallery presents
Absolutely Not: Recent Works by Pascual Sisto.
Pascual Sisto's new works explore themes of emancipation and the absolute, or better yet, absolute emancipation. The artist reconsiders historical events and significant philosophical documents that greatly influenced contemporary society and specifically his own personal artistic practice. These include the ephemeral writings on the walls of Paris that preceded the events of May 1968 to centuries-old monuments and significant philosophical works in either book or film. Sisto emancipates these seminal works by revisiting and modifying the original sources with a range from subtle to sometimes destructive variations. Through looking back, the works play with the anticipation of what is to come.
The exhibition includes neon, video, photography, text, and a confetti blast performance at 8pm.

Jeffrey Wells: Seeing While Seeing at SMMoA
Santa Monica Museum of Art
Project Room: Jeffrey Wells - Seeing While Seeing
January 16 - April 17, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, January 16, 7 to 9 p.m.
Jeffrey Wells' work stems from wanting to explore and exploit the optical phenomenon that happens to us while doing something as simple as staring at a white wall. His video projections are participatory performances that use light, time and optics to create an element of surprise. For Seeing While Seeing, Wells will create a series of new, site-specific, projected works that mimic a variety of visual phenomena from after-effects and aura to color and shape-shifts - the room will literally come alive with his animated projections. Each work makes you questions whether what you see is real or just an animated effect.
Wells received his M.F.A. from UCLA in 2006, and lives and works in Joshua Tree, California.
