Transiting 1 at Arena One Gallery, Santa Monica, CA (July 24 - Aug 16, 2018)
I’ve organized 7 exhibitions in the last three years for non-profit and university galleries. Often these shows are developed in collaboration with others, as in the Transiting project, a joint venture between Gipe, Kim Griffith and John David O’Brien. For Gipe, the Transiting concept grew out of an interest in Situationism, and making work while under the self-guided hypnosis of the dérive. The origin of the title comes from O’Brien’s interest in philosopher Mario Perniola's Transiti (1980), an essay that examines the role of images in a wide range of aesthetic and social contexts, finding the notion of transiti as a suitable way to capture the cultural aspects of technology that have altered today’s society. It is the organizers’ intention to continue Transiting as an event held in a different city each year, building on a roster of artists making work at the intersection of art and movement.

Gipe’s contribution to Transiting 2 was a fax machine, set to receive transmissions all summer. One of the first was Simone Gad’s haunting drawing.

Kamikaze Dérive @ PØST (Nobody Walks in LA)
Lawrence Gipe, Organizer
Kamikaze Dérive @ PØST (Nobody Walks in LA) is a group exhibition of works by 15 LA artists that draws from the experience of wandering about the SoCal’s rich and varied urban landscapes. For Dérive Kamikaze @ PØST, Gipe asked artists to engage in a loosely-defined notion of dérive as a template for exploration and production, with an artwork being a visual manifestation of the experience. Exhibiting artists include Kim Abeles, Laura Atchinson, Gary Brewer, Nick Brown, Eileen Cowin, Joey Forsyte, Bobbi Gentry, Audra Graziano, Kio Griffith, Alexander Kritselis, Jon Kuzmich, Aline Mare, Thinh Nguyen, Don Porcella and Jody Zellen
