Studio 2022

REDCAT’s Studio series is an annual program supporting multidisciplinary work-in-progress. Responsive to changing needs and concerns, the series adopts various formats and locations, from performances and workshops to public interventions and commissions, to support the development of new work and novel reflections from within the communities of LA-based artists. Studio 2022 features the work of Tarrah Krajnak, Sara Lyons, Christina Catherine Martinez, Pastiche Queen, The Revolution School, and DeLanna Studi. Occupying the gallery at REDCAT as an informal space for gathering, storytelling, and performance, Studio 2022 focuses on exploratory works across disciplines and media, activating REDCAT’s gallery with a variety of practices in a setting for convening with furniture from local designer Sean C Flaherty.
