Ana Mendieta
in ‘Earthshaker’, 3-person exhibition with Derek Jarman & P.Staff, Del Vaz Projects, Santa Monica, California
18 February – 18 April 2025
De Vaz Projects presents ‘Earthshaker’, an exhibition, publication, and public programme series featuring work by Ana Mendieta, Derek Jarman and P. Staff.
The exhibition explores the artists’ shared interest in camouflage, collage, poetry, and chromatic manipulation, each posed as parallel processes to metamorphosis, sublimation, incantation, and transmutation. The artists involved do not take these ideas as mere subject matter but lived reality, leveraging different forms of technology, chemical experimentation, and their own queer flesh as sites of regeneration, complexity, and the birth of possibility on a planet poisoned with itself.
