Torrance Art Museum (TAM) is pleased to present Phantom LIM. The exhibition, on view July 21 through September 1, 2018, investigates the formal relationships developed in the imperceptible negotiations between art and object.
The artists in Phantom LIM investigate the unreachable limits of perception. The works are developed through play and other constructive practices that determine their completion through both conscious and unconscious aesthetic and practical judgments. They negotiate nebulous boundaries and exist in zones of indeterminate determination--the liminal space where object-in-process intersects with art object.
The exhibition encompasses sculpture, installation, photography and painting from artists throughout Southern California and the United States.
The opening reception will be held on Saturday, July 21st, from 6 pm – 9 pm.
Featuring: Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack, Steve DeGroodt, David Gilbert, Julia Haft-Candell, Gedi Sibony, Coleen Sterritt, Jessica Stockholder, Joan Tanner, Richard Tuttle, and Valerie Wilcox.

forum 2018 - ongoing
A free, nine month long, mentoring program is underway for those that wish to build a career in the contemporary visual arts but lack a prolonged experience with professional art world activities. This empowering program is designed as a practical guide to navigating the art world via Q&A sessions with successful professionals (artists, curators, critics and gallerists), culminating with an exhibition, in Gallery Two of the Torrance Art Museum, with the program’s participants. The artists will show their work, the curators will select which works, the writers will write essays for the catalog and gallerists will run the opening and PR for it.
On view in Gallery Two December 1 - 14, 2018 in conjunction with South Bay Focus.
