STATION cordially invites you to "STATION MUST GO"

May 9th- June 27th
at Raw Materials, 436 South Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013
Opening Reception, Saturday May 9th, 5-8 PM

STATION MUST GO” is an art installation by Los Angeles based art collective STATION. “STATION MUST GO” is an operational art store located inside Raw Materials, an existing art and architecture supplies store in downtown LA. The multidisciplinary installation includes quizzical products, both functional and non-functional, which seek to blur and question the boundaries separating art and decoration, commerce and kunst, art tools and art objects. Harkening back to Claus Oldenburg’s 1960’s ground breaking storefront installation, this revised and updated exhibition addresses questions of advertising conventions, branding, and product display as they pertain to the art world and larger pressing economic issues permeating today’s news. This is an unabashedly generous interactive installation where “EVERYTHING MUST GO!”

The paintings and works on paper titled "by Deborah Calderwood" are based on found childhood drawings Deborah Calderwood made when she was eleven. Deborah Calderwood's name is painted onto most works thus honoring and complicating their authorship. These works are emotionally and psychologically charged, for Deborah grew up to be the woman I married: Deborah Hurtado Segovia. Each work directly borrows from the found drawing's pictured subject while amplifying their formal qualities through processes, media, color, and composition.
