See you tomorrow Los Angeles! Excited to be back at Art Center to see old friends and new.
🗓️This Wednesday! Join us for the next lecture of our Spring Artist Series at 7pm with Eli Durst, for a discussion of his work and latest publication, The Children’s Melody (, 2025).

In The Children’s Melody, Durst explores the very serious absurdities of collective identity formation through photographs made in environments including cotillion groups, dance practices, ROTC training, and school performances. When read together, these images defamiliarize everyday life, questioning the relationship between the individual and the institution, between the margins and the center. In sequence, they lay bare how invisible cultural forces shape us into who we become. To borrow a phrase from Judith Butler, which is itself a reformulation of Sartre: “What is done to me, and what is it I do with what is done to me?” (From the publisher)

This lecture is free to attend and will be held in Highlight Studios. Any changes to the pro
gram will be announced online.⁠

RSVP is required—tap the link in bio for more info.

Eli Durst’s The Children’s Melody is a haunting, silent symphony of American ritual. Through the amber glow of church basements and wood-paneled halls, Durst captures the strange, solemn theater of community—where the mundane leans into the mystical, and every shadow hums with the soft, persistent ache of belonging.

FROM GNOMIC WEBPAGE:

There’s a concept in communist China called zhuxuanlu, which refers to a central melody of Chinese life. While some level of independence or deviation is acceptable, everyone should exist within certain morally and politically acceptable parameters, in a kind of productive harmony.

We find ourselves at a historic moment that compels us to look to the past. A moment in which history, against all predictions, seems to be repeating itself with the same gravity as in the past.

In this project, Birthe Piontek investigates Germany's past through photography, family archive and documents to understand its transition from post-war reconstruction to the conflicts and populism of today. 'Zero hour' is a time that keeps coming back, changing form but not its dangerousness.

FROM GNOMIC WEBSITE:
In Zero Hour, Birthe Piontek looks into Germany's past to understand a war-ridden and divided present tense, tracing the country's post-WWII history, societal structures and values by looking at photography's role in reconstructing a nation emptied of symbolism and role models after 1945. Combining images from Piontek’s family archive, press images, and constructed still lifes with political transcripts and documents, Piontek seeks to understand how Germany, once the "poster child of peace and democracy”, finds itself entangled in current wars and seduced by a rising national populism.

Zero Hour visualizes the tangled web of multinational interests and policies related to Germany's postwar rise to power, influenced predominantly by the United States. Some of the book’s archival images serve as source material for digital collages and alterations; others are left untouched. Some texts are historical, while others are taken from current political party platforms. Promises, facts, and fiction are blended, asking the viewer to re-evaluate our relationship to seemingly well-known narratives, history, and collective and individual memory.

Zero Hour lays bare the inherent biases in these photographs, the invisible layers of inequality and dominant social structures central to western ideals. The images show that social norms like patriarchy, whiteness, and heteronormativity, were reinforced by photography, suggesting that Germany's democracy and the social-political fabric of the nation were deeply flawed from its inception.
