In conjunction with the exhibition Made in L.A. 2014.

Made in L.A. 2014 artist Channing Hansen is a polymath. He manages to simultaneously convey both a down-home appreciation of craft and staggering wonder at advances in technology, and he frequently melds the two in his videos, performances, sculptures, paintings and lectures. Hansen's work delves into questions of math and physics, both reflected in the time and manner that he devotes to making his paintings. As Hansen has said, "craft solves questions; art asks them," and in this sense, his paintings remain portals of possibility.
