Art Share L.A. presents exhale., curated by Robert Heavrin. Presented as part of Art Share L.A.’s Emerging Curator Program, the exhibition reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting and elevating emerging curatorial voices within the Los Angeles arts community.

​

The Emerging Curator Program provides selected curators with the opportunity to research, develop, and present a thematic exhibition in a professional gallery setting. Through institutional support and public presentation, the program fosters rigorous curatorial practice while expanding visibility for local and regional artists.

​

exhale. brings together a group of artists whose works invite close attention to the elemental qualities of line, shape, and color. Through varied formal approaches, the exhibition encourages sustained looking and quiet contemplation, foregrounding abstraction and visual restraint as pathways to reflection and presence.

​

The exhibition features work by Anne Evans, Arisa Hsiao, Ashley Cole, Ashley Ravidas, Carlos Flores, Chad Goei, EddieLin, Gleici Rufatto, Hanna B. Ketai, Isabelle Ruth Alessandra, Justin N. Kim, Laurey Bennett-Levy, Mark Rebennack, Michael DeSutter, Monica Griffin, Robert Heavrin, Sam Crawford, Sara Marlowe Hall, Sarah Jaclyn Schwartz, and Shannon Evans.

 

The development of exhale. was shaped by a deeply personal experience for Heavrin, who spent nine days in the hospital while organizing the exhibition. During this period, the works assumed an added resonance. “These works helped me regulate my breathing in an anxious time,” Heavrin reflects. He recalls in particular Mark Rebennack’s ocean line drawings, describing how, while lying claustrophobic in buzzing MRI machines, he imagined taking one breath for each line of the artist’s waves, mirroring what he perceived as the meditative rhythm embedded in their creation.
