June Edmonds - Projects - Luis De Jesus Los Angeles

Installation view of Well, Well, Well on view from April 22 - June 10, 2023

The Exhibition, Well, Well, Well at BFree Studio features the work of April Banks, June Edmonds, and Glen Wilson. Banks showcases her works sculptural works of memory and place, as well as fused glass and metal images. Edmonds paints meditative abstractions, while Wilson melds street photography with found objects and materials. Each artist has created works based on various neighborhoods, serving as archivists and narrators of the lives within them. The exhibition includes a neon sign found by Banks and Wilson commemorating the Ebony Beach Club in Santa Monica. This Beach Club was envisioned by Black entrepreneur Silas White in 1957 but was never opened due to its seizure by the city through eminent domain. Bank’s work Possession is nine-tenths, showcases repeated impressions of an absent violin speaking to the narratives of memory and family heirlooms. Wilson’s work draws from the public space of the street, the quieter realm of the alley, and the public/private space of the porch, chronicling people and objects he encounters. Overall, the exhibition offers alternative mappings of place, reflecting on access to leisure and calling a place home, as well as marking and commemorating the tensions between what is durable and what is vulnerable.
