After she questioned me on whose ass I must kiss to get reviews, she looked around and said, “This space is beautiful! What do you pay, $2500?” Before I could answer, she interrupted, “That’s what I pay too!” So I went with it; it was one of the many times I thought pretending you have money when you don’t would get you as far as pretending you don’t when you do. The truth was, the rent was extremely cheap compared to most places in the city. In 2015 it was only $700, less than a dollar per square foot; in 2020, when the fire came in, it was just over $800. Cheap rent and low overhead come with ups and downs. The benefits were that we could host openings that carried into the abysmal hours, burn indoor fires atop golden cacti, and fill the space with soil on three separate occasions. If we wanted to take down a wall, we did it, never mind if it was structural or not. It was.The downsides of cheap rent were, well, if you ever stepped into one of the bathrooms, you know. Without additional income, the fact that the space stayed open for as long as it did was a miracle, as well as a collective effort. I often borrowed money for the drinks at openings, a friend at LACMA printed press releases for free, and we discounted nearly every sale to secure it and pay the artists in full. In 2018, I took over the building manager position to cut the rent in half, but I was no match for the decades-old plumbing and, after a few months, I handed back the keys to the former manager. “Nice try, man,” he said while patting me on the back, right before opening up the janitor closet to the surprise that I had turned it into an additional exhibition space. “Looks nice as shit in here, man!” he said. “But where are my tools?” The building held its charm, but the low rent also meant the second-floor space remained inaccessible to many, deeming our mission statement of finding ways to be together imperfect. Throughout the years, many friends and loved ones could never make the journey into the gallery we thought to be for the community. At our first opening, a drunk man fell from the top of the steps and split his head open while tumbling down to street level. As a space that operated with practically zero budget with zero insurance, it’s no wonder we began and ended with emergency vehicles outside. &nbsp; Since moving to Santa Cruz last year, the burden to continue to program through Visitor Welcome Center has remained at the forefront of my mind. At last, a social worker, a psychiatrist, and a therapist convinced me that vomiting every morning was not the way to rid one’s body of stress. A new project with a new model was taking hold, and to fully embrace it I needed to put the past behind me, or quite literally, on a shelf. Last year, I asked the folks at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA) if they would be interested in taking what was left of VWC, and they agreed. Still, it took me nearly a year to open up the box and sift through everything from my private journaling to all the wet signatures scribbled into our guest books. LACA has been collecting and archiving a multitude of histories from the Los Angeles contemporary art world since 2013, and it seemed like a fitting place for the remains of VWC to live, among friends. I am grateful for their preservation of stories from artists and spaces that tried their best to stay open and thrive by any means necessary.An old friend recently wrote to me, “ We make decisions based on our priorities and desires. It is living with the consequences of our decisions that sometimes makes us question things in retrospect.”Consequences are not always a bad thing; at least, they are the result of making a choice. &nbsp;Closure, however, is one of the most difficult processes we must learn to navigate because it doesn’t always arrive on our terms. If there is anything I have learned over the years about what art is good for, is its unwavering and boundless capacity to hold onto our grief, giving us the opportunities we need to let go.If you are an artist we worked with or a friend of the space and you would like to contribute a letter, object, incriminating evidence, or anything about the memory of Visitor Welcome Center, I encourage you in the next week to reach out to me or send it directly to LACA, 709 North Hill St, Suite 104/8, Los Angeles, California 90012.In the coming weeks, I'll share a new Greenhouse project that I have been working on, an intergenerational educational space that explores the relationship between art, food, and climate justice.&nbsp;Please stay subscribed and follow along on the new journey, and no hard feelings if it’s time to move on. &nbsp; <img width="601" height="600" width_o="601" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/21949e7b4c1f83fc002cd7fcccf3074e35d04659a7c040efd1868d2b9a346c06/fire.png" data-mid="95564096" border="0" data-scale="58" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/601/i/21949e7b4c1f83fc002cd7fcccf3074e35d04659a7c040efd1868d2b9a346c06/fire.png" /> Dav Bell, 2020 This year began with us closing our doors to our brick and mortar space to search for something more. COVID put an end to that, so we now find ourselves where we first began, nearly a decade ago, in a suburban backyard mounting an exhibition. In January 2011, I was sitting on the floor of my one-room backhouse with my friends Tiffany Smith and Noah Spindler, while projecting one of Smith’s videos on the wall above my bed. “Welcome to Dave Gallery!” she quipped. You want a solo show? I asked. “Sure, Dave!” The next week we shoved all of my belongings into my closet, set up a projector aimed at the garage and a monitor in the tool shed, and voilà! The next morning, I collected all the cigarette butts from the grass so my landlord, who lived in the front house and who was out of town, wouldn’t find out. The following year a friend took me to see an available studio in a former textile factory at 435 Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. The first wave of gentrification had not even begun, though, perhaps we were the swell, or better yet, the rip tide. The entire place was covered in soot and mouse hair with stairwell steps missing and handrails nonexistent. The available studio: 500 square feet, four hundred bucks, no windows or ventilation, and completely full of garbage. It was perfect. For nearly four years, together with many of the same artists Visitor Welcome Center works with today, we organized art programs, exhibitions, and happenings. We slept in teepees, made art, ran critique groups and spaces that bled into one another, and threw dinner parties without a sink. We shared in the building’s joy and decrepitude, and watched as the “pigeon hotel” across the street became a ridiculously expensive apartment building filled with ridiculous people. We laughed and toasted, knowing our time was almost up. Because to the people staring back across the way, we were the only pigeon hotel left on the block. <img width="826" height="614" width_o="826" height_o="614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dc6908633cb4d4e66178a34391199d2d1f20ea1d22a737fd96499c37895f4043/IMG_9518.jpg" data-mid="95564750" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/826/i/dc6908633cb4d4e66178a34391199d2d1f20ea1d22a737fd96499c37895f4043/IMG_9518.jpg" /> Then, in 2015, we were flushed out, Broadway was bought out, and within a month, all of us in the building were kicked out. It would be a year until I opened Visitor Welcome Center above the famed OB Bear Restaurant and down the hall from a gallery I was working with at the time. One of the oldest Alcohólicos Anónimos in Los Angeles was downsizing and moving across the hall, and the landlords needed a new tenant. The timing was perfect. Our mission statement from the jump was and continues to be finding ways to be together, and while this continues to be challenging to practice, for nearly a dollar a square foot, large windows and exquisite natural light, and the smell of fried chicken seeping in everyday at 4 pm masking the smell of the unwashed bathroom in the hall… soon proved extremely difficult to leave. Luckily, a little over a week ago, the firefighters made that decision for us! Now nearing my unofficial ten year anniversary of operating a space for artists, it feels most appropriate to bid farewell—for real this time—to our home of the last five years. Thank you to all those who came out, supported, and continue to do so, middle finger to the haters, and for those of you who never got the chance to make it down here, here I channel Tiffany Smith’s exhibition title from a decade ago: You had Your Chance, You blew it. <img width="1464" height="619" width_o="1464" height_o="619" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8d63615d09538c35b3041af9a7217e2f509e97b7ad4acef1f044d565206251d/VWC_horiz_CMYK.jpg" data-mid="95564764" border="0" data-scale="42" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8d63615d09538c35b3041af9a7217e2f509e97b7ad4acef1f044d565206251d/VWC_horiz_CMYK.jpg" /> <img width="1531" height="108" width_o="1531" height_o="108" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/de3dbc607cd4048bd98dde555f99ac8e4df01fe18ea8ec518d86e97a20fb20e0/Bienvenida_1.jpg" data-mid="95564012" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/de3dbc607cd4048bd98dde555f99ac8e4df01fe18ea8ec518d86e97a20fb20e0/Bienvenida_1.jpg" /> Solidarity Statement As a space that has dedicated itself to artists whose truths are often eclipsed by the mainstream, whose foils include other constructs other than whiteness, and whose stories are actively being written and difficult to tell, we know that standing in solidarity looks differently for many. We know that often times, embodying solidarity means showing up imperfectly. Solidarity requires a practice of attunement—learning to listen, while listening, and learning how to be supportive and accountable, while being supportive and accountable. VWC is committed to making room for the practice of learning and growing. Growth is never linear and requires reorientation towards humility. As artists, we are in a time of reckoning, and as a space, we continue to rise to the occasion. While we feel that the gallery model has been exhausted and we closed our physical location in February 2020, we still want to continue the urgency of sharing nuanced and challenging stories about connection and equity. Art and healing are so crucially necessary in micro and macro scales: in relationships, in communities, in systemic reform, and in transformative justice. Learning to be in relation to one another, a community, a movement, an incremental or massive shift can be excruciatingly painful for many. There have been so many movements, people, legacies, and sacrifices that have led us to this moment in the U.S. There are people who have been working for a long, long time — across time and space — to envision a new possibility, coupled with those who have just arrived to work, and because of all of this collective effort, there is something to look forward to.

Squiggly and ravishing, their glittery bodies seduce soil critters to the garden jiggle. Pulsating in luscious worm poops, footloose and fancy free, they swim in delicious castings and swirl in our infinite feedback with their microbial neighbors. Our decay is a sexy thing, boo. With your fingers, take a deep dive into the dance pile to make a nutrient ball. Feed me! Let’s merge our bacterial communities in this steamy heat! My decay is your delight, and when you’re healthy, I’ll be as cute and sweaty as the millions of microbes that eat and excrete and live and die, so that your human is as alive as humus. — iris yirei hu and David L. Bell Infinite is a delightful plunge into the microbial world of our home compost. Under a microscope, we were introduced to nematodes swimming alongside their healthy kin of protozoa and actinobacteria by a soil scientist. Hoping to uplift the joy and surprise in seeing life in our compost, we handcrafted an infinite world within a storefront window from the sentient beings within the radius of our home, where life and decay are composted into healing and creativity. How can we work with wood, indigo, food waste, seeds, textiles, and paper in ways that are surprising, decaying, and regenerating as we breathe, feel, and make? Our experimental display — a collaborative seed blanket pieced together from hand painted portraits of plants native to California and their seeds, hand carved bowls, and our friends’ hands; fish spines that point to fragility and resilience; and a poem we wrote together and painted in the microbial mother indigo — is a loving tribute to the infinite workings of our immediate environment, where a multitude of earthlings continue to teach us to reimagine waste, climate resilience, and the sacred journey of emergence. iris yirei hu (b. Los Angeles, CA) is an artist who paints, weaves, dyes, tells stories, and composts her lived reality into installations, color, and embodied collaborations that reverberate through time and space in tangible and cosmic ways. She works with artists, scientists, historians, keepers of traditions, and organizers to limn connections between people, places, and practices to explore possibilities of kinship. She sees making art and working with soil and fibers as ways to redeem the embodied intimacy we, subjects of empire, once had with the natural world. Selected exhibitions include Plug-in ICA (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI), Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Feminist Center for Creative Work (Los Angeles, CA), Lenfest Center for the Arts (New York, NY), and Visitor Welcome Center (Los Angeles, CA). Public art commissions include a collaborative human sundial at Los Angeles State Historic Park with ICA LA and Los Angeles Nomadic Division (2021), mural wraps at California State University Dominguez Hills (2020), and bus and rail posters for LA Metro (2016). She has held residencies at the Feminist Center for Creative Work (2018), Carrizozo AIR (2020), and LA Cleantech Incubator (2021). She earned her BA from UCLA and MFA from Columbia University. http://irisyireihu.comDav L. Bell (b. Tampa, FL) is an artist and independent arts organizer who directs the Los Angeles-based art gallery Visitor Welcome Center, which he founded in 2016. Much of his work and collaborative projects are inspired by his upbringing on a southern California ecological preserve, where he was raised in a family of environmentalists. He is interested in storytelling, lyricism, and craft, and through the artist-run space Visitor Welcome Center, he works with artists to cultivate tangible and creative possibilities of lifelong artistic and soulful connections. Through connection, acknowledgement, and relationship building, art becomes a possibility towards truth and reconciliation. In the past, Bell worked both as a firefighter for the US Forest Service and as a park ranger at Upper Tampa Bay State Park. His education is informed by hip hop, and he studied visual art at Metafora School of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, Spain and at UCLA. Currently, he is an MFA candidate in Environmental Art and Social Practice at UC Santa Cruz. http://visitorwelcomecenter.art About the space Right Window is an exhibition space located in the ATA building at 992 Valencia Street in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.

As we gently seek a new and accessible location as well as an expansive and inclusive model from which to operate, we will continue 2020’s programming on the left arm of John Burtle. After five years on the corner of Koreatown's 7th and Westmoreland, and in the midst of the world taking a break from each others' company, No More Land West asks each artist to take up humility and work small for a moment, with the hopes of when this is all over, each piece and all of us can be together in the same room, once again.

In April, we transformed the former gallery space into a triad of artist studios, with Olerud occupying one of them. The selected works on view mark and reflect the time accumulated between the first state-wide lockdown until the recent fire at the building. Since March, Olerud has been nurturing an intimacy with the natural world through gardening and surfing. For Olerud, gardening, surfing, and art making inspire one another, as each process depends on growth and vulnerability, and being attuned to one’s surroundings. He documents his encounters with stingray and starfish, collaged upon images of herbs and flowers from his garden, and integrates iconic Los Angeles landmarks from his drives between his home and the ocean. Together, the drawings become “visual gardens” akin to sprawling maps of earthlings and moments of surprise, evocative of the elements and of his journeys into the abundant worlds embraced by the California sun. Justin Dale Olerud (b. 1986) grew up on a farm in Bricelyn, Minnesota. He invokes vanitas painting traditions to explore and memorialize queer subjectivity. He received his BFA from California College of the Arts and Crafts in 2008, and his MFA from Columbia University in 2016.

While ants may not be able to predict the weather, ants have proven to be able to evince their readiness for storms. For instance, in order to survive a storm and ensure the safety of their queen and larvae, an entire colony of fire ants will assemble together to form a raft to float atop water until dry land is reached. In heavy rain, these ants will find a vertical stem or branch upon which they will form a column, allowing raindrops to glide the surfaces of their conjoined backs without washing them away. Through touch and smell, ants are able to sense the changes in their immediate vicinity, and have developed abilities to pivot, prepare, and improvise to reorient themselves towards survival. Their antennae gives them their sense of smell, and thus ants can follow trails, sojourn for food, and recognize their own colony. A colony of ants has a collective brain as large as many mammals. Sense n react to the drop is derived from the collaborative survival skills that ants have practiced for 148 million years. Hosted by Ochi Projects and organized by Visitor Welcome Center, Sense n react to the drop brings together five artists: Sonia Louise Davis &amp; Ivan Forde of Harlem, New York, Joeun Aatchim Kim of New York City, Los Angeles based iris yirei hu and Paula Wilson of Carrizozo, New Mexico. Visitor Welcome Center is both an experimental platform ran in the style of an artist-run space and an emergent practice that has dedicated itself to artists whose truths are often eclipsed by the mainstream, whose foils include constructs other than whiteness, and whose stories are actively being written and difficult to tell. This exhibition includes a selection of artists that Visitor Welcome Center has worked with and supported, and the online platform is a glimpse into the more tangible and collaborative possibilities that VWC seeks to build. The exhibition begins with a commitment to study and reflection and worlds into being our kinship with the natural world and one another. At a time when the majority of the world is isolated in distance, Joeun Aatchim’s pieces reflect a yearning for contact and closeness. The disembodied voice of the narrator in Foolish manifesto of the freedom of houseplants remakes herself in a figure whose back is turned away from her viewers in New Song. Wilson’s Spread is a reflexive depiction of the act of close looking and the study of interspecies regeneration between an orchid and a moth. The reality of interspecies procreation offers a speculative possibility upon which to experience the world and one another. hu’s mutant theory takes off from Wilson’s speculation, and supposes that one can remake the world through mythic realism. Caught in between two hands that cannot touch, a mythical moth transforms itself to the playful love between partners Sonia Louise Davis and Ivan Forde in the way and the light. Joy entangles the two, whose collaborative dance thrives from an improvised response to one another’s movements. Blindfolded, Forde responds to Davis’ calls in optimism and trust, and without hesitation, the sun, the sky, and the lake openly cradle their love. Inspired by ants and their insistence on collaboration for survival, Sense n react to the drop is a creative score put together by artists whose slow and reflective practices deepen this shared moment of transformation. — Visitor Welcome Center, July 2020 About Artists Sonia Louise Davis born and raised in New York City, Sonia Louise Davis is a visual artist, writer and performer.

Curating the objects in a suitcase when traveling is utilizing their entry into a semantic regime—translating bodies to subjects and vice versa—as material to make aesthetic images. All the items used in the creation of the analogue collages, along with the rolls of film used to photograph them for this exhibition, were carried in the artist’s suitcase during an overseas residency, and involuntarily exposed to X-Ray at different international airports. The instances of exposure, captured on digital videos shot through the X-Ray tunnel, manifest only as scarcely brighter pixels in a few frames. The manipulated pixels are used to project a new temporality of exposure into the space of the gallery. Biased algorithms and data organization methods such as Google Alerts, are used to process, archive and sort the news of a subject to the subject itself; in this case uttered by the artist to a machine and recorded on tape. Hundreds of small toy models arranged on the gallery's floor, reproduce an aerial view image of a boneyard. LIKELY MINE ponders the production of a site through the perception of objects and images. Beginning with the computer screen as a site of artistic research and experience itself, the milky, light-emitting surface works as a backdrop for the arrangement of objects to both document and display on.In the likelihood of possession, the explosive and the extractable are equally pernicious: LIKELY MINE is dedicated to Daisy, the sanctioned oil tanker.Some of the research, thoughts and processes that went into the production of LIKELY MINE is accessible and will be shared periodically on https://www.artscabinet.org/.
