SUMMARY:Materias Primas presents Lisa McCord\, Rotan Switch - exhibition and book signing
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Lisa McCord presents Rotan Switch\, a project that spans 43 years from1978 – 2021\, documenting life on her grandparents’ cotton farm in the Arkansas Delta\, following five generations of a community. \n\n\n\nRotan Switch takes its name from the community’s central landmark–the railroad switch where cotton was once loaded onto trains bound for the Delta. Although it has not been used in years\, it remains a potent symbol of the complex intersections of industry and agriculture\, racism and injustice. \n\n\n\nIn 1978\, McCord began a significant visual journey. This photographic collection transcendsbasic imagery\, exploring the intricate layers of community\, identity\, and the deep significance of home. The land of Arkansas and its inhabitants shape the core of the photographer’s sense of belonging. The images reveal a narrative intertwined with the socioeconomic realities of rural Southern America. This blend of personal memories and insights goes beyond mere documentation\, creating a vibrant account of Rotan’s story–interwoven with the photographer’s familial roots in a region marked by enduring historical disparities. \n\n\n\n“In a community in which most people spend their time working or caring for children\, my ability to observe and document in itself has been a position of privilege.” \n\n\n\n“These images are a record of my story of Rotan\, a story that is specific to my and my family’s role in a place where inequities exist to this day. I have done my best to acknowledge this complicated history.” \n\n\n\nMcCord\, a fine art and documentary photographer from the Arkansas Delta\, lives and worksbetween Palm Springs and Arkansas. Rotan Switch\, published in 2024 by Kehrer Verlag\, was a finalist for the Lucie Foundation Photo Book Awards and was a Critical Mass Top 50 finalist. Her book signings include Paris Photo\, Photo London\, and Coston Arts Center\, in Arkansas.Signed books and framed prints will be available. \n\n\n\nDETAILS: OPENS Friday January 23rd\, 4pm – 7pm until Friday February 20thARTIST Q&A Saturday January 24th\, 3pmMaterias Primas\, Perez Art District\, 68895 Perez Road\, Building I – Suite 10\, Cathedral CityContact: Annie Madison\, Annie@materiasprimas.studio 310 467 6661

SUMMARY:Midnight Orienteering
DESCRIPTION:Artist and printmaker Drew Peterson presents a series of mono-prints that mark the culmination of his studio work from 2013 to 2025. The works reflect a journey of discovery\, growth and sustained inquiry-spanning life inside and outside the studio. \n\n\n\nIn the early stages of this body of work\, Peterson found mono-printing to occupy a playful and experimental role in his studio practice. With less reliance on the technologies that had supported earlier work\, the integration of analog printmaking processes with the immediacy of watercolor painting opened up new possibilities for exploration. The portfolio of prints created during this period not only shaped his unique artistic methodology but also deepened his understanding of how to connect with the broader community\, offering him a newfound sense of agency over his creative environment. \n\n\n\n​

SUMMARY:Sweet Jazz Opening Reception (Watercolors\, Etchings\, Intaglios\, Oil and Acrylic)
DESCRIPTION:Malcolm Myers relationship with this true American Music Genre spanned his entire career. From the early days of WWII in New York city where he was stationed in the Merchant Marine\, Myers frequented the Black Jazz clubs around 57th and 52nd streets — clubs that are now long gone\, sadly developed into skyscrapers. Those impressionistic years stayed with him as he made artistic odes to his beloved Jazz in Watercolors\, Etchings\, Intaglios\, Oil and Acrylic Paints. Jazz was never far from his heart…and he was truly a master at depicting the essence of our great American music: Jazz.
