LA based artist Jackie Castillo’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles.
“Gutting, a site-specific installation by Jackie Castillo, immerses the viewer within the entrails of a working-class home, a site common to turning neighborhoods in Los Angeles. A site typically witnessed from the safety of the sidewalk, the immersive scale breaks the habitual, forcing a somatic experience of the role housing and homeownership plays in the city’s social inequality amid an affordable housing crisis—and yet, a displaced window shutter becomes a ladder of ascension, a warped awning transforms into a road forward, and kitchen cabinet voids lead to unexplored possibilities.”
