		<description>Leave No Trace and Nine Colors of the West

Plein Air at Armory Center for the Arts
Plein Air is a group exhibition that explores shifting ideas of western landscape, painting, and fieldwork. Traditional plein air painting, which typically involves painting outdoors in a single sitting to capture a vista in a certain quality of light, is taken as a point of departure to consider the ways in which humans use, observe, record, and commune with the land. In this exhibition, the practice of plein air painting is considered in the context of land surveying and settling, public and private space, multidisciplinary onsite research, art history, and the embodied experience of being there. Outdoor painting from observation is approached as ground truth—as bearing witness—a way to experience, process, and understand a range of physical landscapes, and our relationship to them.The exhibition includes work by Susanna Battin, Esteban Cabeza de Baca, iris yirei hu, KB Jones, Hillary Mushkin, Sterling Wells, and Paula Wilson. The exhibition was organized by guest curator Aurora Tang for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tucson. An expanded version will be on view in the Armory’s Caldwell Gallery from July 21 to December 10, 2023. —ArmoryArts.org

Dates: Jul 21—Dec 10, 2023
Gallery Hours:Fridays 2-6 PM, Saturday &#38;amp; Sundays 1-5 PMAdmission is always free.

 Plein Air, curated by Aurora Tang, was on view at MOCA Tucson from May 14, 2022 - March 12, 2023.Review by&#38;nbsp;Hyperallergic: ‘Plein Air Is a Sobering Reminder of Human Impact on the Environment’
 

Leave No Trace involves the artist’s ongoing research into the US Bureau of Land Management’s Standard Environmental Color chart, a palette of nine standardized paint colors approved for use on the federal agency’s facilities, along with their guidelines on selecting the appropriate color to paint a structure in order for it to best blend into various landscape settings. Centered around a series of new video works, Battin considers the ways in which paint can be used as a tool for concealing human impact on the physical land, while also posing questions around the effects of the artist’s own presence onsite.

Wings at Work, digital rendering, 2020


	Wings of United Sonora is an animal-led labor union dedicated to direct action, workplace democracy, and environmental justice. Founded by members of the Corvus genus, the group is the first labor union of its type, and includes working crows, ravens, rooks, and their relatives. Wings' growing membership extends beyond the Sonoran region, as environmental working conditions worsen and Corvus labor becomes more lucrative to human employers.


Most commonly employed as janitors or clean-up technicians, Corvus take special pride in their meticulous attention to detail and cleanliness. The weekly river clean-up is an extension of this interest and furthers the union’s goal of achieving environmental justice for all living species.


The flyer (below) is both an invitation to initiate your own river clean-up, and an artifact of this time, when understandings of labor, environment, nature, and culture are no longer separable. The flyer was designed in the media lab at the Pima County Public Library by Wings' local chair who identifies as a Common Raven (Corvus corax). She extends her thanks to the Tucson librarians who, for the first time, permitted computer and printer usage to a non-human patron.

Wetland 35mm photographs by grade levels 2-8



It’s Not Easy, 2:00 min excerpt from 36:26 minute digital video from 35mm scans, classroom and field recordings, 2017- 2018.

Come here exotic coyote, more salt bushes let out wind.

It’s up crane go same to food-chain.

After lost European settlers. 
Sea-level rise. Rough grass. Always close to Culver City.

Sanctuary, if you go under growing milkvetch.
Red-fox dragonfly, who within space?

In 2017 I was invited to Turning Point Elementary in Culver City, CA to connect students to Los Angeles’ last remaining wetland using art. This was an ambitious project: it involved 300 students, two non-profits, four field trips, and two art installations that synthesized video, photography, poetry, plant material, handmade books, and botanical rubbings. 


Students wrote poems using the punk/surrealist cut-up method—wetland words were xeroxed, then cut up and reassembled. The poems click like nonlinear legos, glued to the insides of accordion books. We then brought these poems into the wetland where the Ballona watershed becomes a brackish confluence of past and present, fresh water and salt water, pickleweed and egrets, high-rise condos and parking lots. Here, students used their poems like storyboards, shooting with disposable 35mm cameras to represent each page of their poem. The final installation collected student voices and photographs into a single-channel video poem about the Ballona wetland.

It’s Not Easy Seeing Green was made with the support and collaboration of the Turning Point School’s Artist in Residence program, Rory Sloan, and Friends of Ballona Wetlands.

	How to View a Landfill

In 2017 I began asking groups of people to draw as I read aloud. I read them the scenic descriptions from an environmental impact report of Los Angeles’s largest landfill. Participants listened to the descriptions and with markers and paper in hand, drew the landscapes that came into their minds.
The drawings featured in ‘How to View a Landfill’ were made by the students of the Los Feliz Charter School for the Arts over the course of many studio visits during my residency there in 2018. They are depictions of two key observation points looking towards the landfill from the rural canyon north of the city.
