The Dynaton
Curated by Laura Whitcomb
Spring 2026
Château Shatto
Los Angeles, California
Château Shatto, in active collaboration with the Lucid Art Foundation, presents The Dynaton, curated by Laura Whitcomb, an exhibition that revisits and expands the 1951 San Francisco Museum of Art show that first brought together Gordon Onslow Ford, Wolfgang Paalen, and Lee Mullican under the name of “the possible.” Drawing on major works and archival materials from the Lucid Art Foundation and from galleries that have been central to championing Surrealism and its legacies in California, the project approaches Dynaton as a charged convergence of cosmology, experimental psychology, physics, and indigenous epistemologies, and as a pivotal reconfiguration of Surrealist thought in a postwar Pacific context.
Paulina Peavy: Astrocultural Messenger
Curated by Laura Whitcomb
September 14 – October 28, 2023
Andrew Edlin Gallery 212 Bowery
New York, NY 10012
While Paulina Peavy’s (1901-1999) life spanned the twentieth century, her art and belief system represent a crucible for our current moment. She challenged gender norms and racial divides, revitalized hermetic and matriarchal systems, embraced cult traditions, and played a vital role in a community of groundbreaking artists. She saw herself as an emissary, a messenger for advanced beings contextualized through the phenomenon of UFOs. A radical innovator, Peavy would become the first established fine artist to be publicly associated with the movement known as astroculture.
Luminaries of Light and Space
Curated by Laura Whitcomb
2022 – 2025
LAX
Los Angeles, California
DUBLAB and the LAX Art Program present an exhibition highlighting pioneers and innovators of one of Los Angeles’ most notable homegrown visual art movements, the Light and Space Movement. Curated by Laura Whitcomb of Label Curatorial, artists featured include Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Gisela Colón, Laddie John Dill, Fred Eversley, Robert Irwin, John McCracken, Helen Pashgian, Hap Tivey, and De Wain Valentine. The Light and Space Movement explores how light creates permutations within the spectrum of color through the use of Space Age materials and technology that define fields of luminous experience. By condensing the energy of light into sculptural mass, subtle endless space and refraction appear within their rigid forms. The works on view represent minimalistic forms, and, when engaged with, create spectacular phenomena only visible to the naked eye. Photography and documentation are often unable to reproduce the infinite arrangements of light and color as well as the refractions and nuanced spectral variants created by each artist.
Tertium Organum
Traversing Space
The Center for the Arts Eagle Rock, Pasadena Art Alliance, and Label Curatorial present the first installment of the two-part exhibition Mysticism and Mathematics titled Tertium Organum:Traversing Space and The Golden Ratio: A Procession. Both shows explore the radical shifts that saw modern art interface with scientific advance, echoing a long-standing tradition throughout history. These exhibitions highlight how mathematics has been a foundational tool to convey metaphysical principles through a myriad of cultures beginning in ancient times. Tertium Organum: Traversing Space explores the fin du siècle phenomenon where breakthroughs in higher geometry and advanced mathematics emerged from communities engaging esotericism and the revival of lost wisdom. The exhibition includes artists who were influenced both both P.D. Ouspensky and his mentor George Gurdjieff who are placed in a dialogue with late 20th century and post millennial artists who implicitly explore their ideas.
Warner Jepson: Indeterminate Convergences
Center for the Arts Eagle Rock
Warner Jepson: Indeterminate Convergences was presented with Dublab and the Estate of Warner Jepson at the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock in 2018. The exhibition presented the work of artists closely allied with Jepson largely from his collection which included Ruth Asawa, Larry Bell, Wallace Berman, Bruce Conner, Richard Faralla, Simone Forti, Anna Halprin, Robert Morris, Yvonne Rainer, Sam Tchakalian and others. The objective of this exhibition was to highlight the intersection of dance, art, film and electronic/ experimental music, focusing on the legacy of Warner Jepson who played a central role in the fertile cross pollination of these genres through the 1950s-1970s.
