Patricia Maldonado is a contemporary interpretive dance and performance artist based in San Diego. In her work she is interested in intuitive movements of the un-managed body. Motivated by exterior sensations, she explores her own body in motion as an inner dialogue, in a parallel world. Place, time and duration, are important concepts in all of her performances. Her movements are a personal story of liberating one’s self, from the comfort zones of the body and mind.

Brian Black and Ryan Bulis have been working collaboratively in Southern California since 2004. This artist team appropriates iconic activities and challenges preconceptions of masculinity, athleticism and identity. Their assisted sculptures are exaggerated archetypes taken from the workplace, sports and pedestrian life. By adjusting the familiar and pushing the level of absurdity in their art making, they invite the audience to reconsider the sanctity and boundaries of the art institution. Their collective work allows their independent objectives and concerns to converge into what has simply become known as Brian & Ryan.
