In Process: Harold Mendez

Go behind the scenes with artist Harold Mendez as he details the intricate process involved in creating his new work "I’m not always fitting (After Koudelka)", commissioned as a part of his solo exhibition "Let us gather in a flourishing way." "Let us gather in a flourishing way" is a 10-year survey of Los Angeles-based artist Harold Mendez (b. 1977, Chicago). Comprising a selection of nearly 20 works in sculpture, printmaking, and photography, Mendez invites us to explore the tension between fiction and truth, visibility and absence, and how history and geography shape our sense of self and our relationship to the world.    Mendez is American of Mexican-Colombian descent, and has traveled widely throughout his career – working in South America, Cuba, and Africa, among other localities. His work draws on his upbringing, heritage, and international experiences to explore the meaning of cultural visibility. The artist both traces and erases found imagery with specific cultural or art historical references to create otherworldly new images. He obscures original source images, and through installation, fills spaces with disembodied sound. Mendez uses laborious manual processes to manipulate what is seen in his work, and in turn, challenges audiences to look more deeply.
