LOS/NR is proud to present the work of six impressive artists living and working in Los Angeles, curated by our guest curator, Jason Jenn. The exhibition gathers painting, assemblage, fiber-based art, and sculpture to explore the varied ways that time weaves itself into the human experience. Time can be sweet or savage in its treatment, and each piece offers a different perspective on life through its varied minutes and milestones, through gestures, textures, fragments, and forms. Through the exchange of materials, the artists chart emotional landscapes and trace the rhythms that shape our daily lives. What we choose to hold onto, what we take time to craft, and what we carry forward define the ways in which we come to comprehend "The Measure of Our Days." Participating artists are: Enrique Castrejon, Ellen Friedlander, Duane Paul, Joaquin Stacey-Calle, Kayla Tange, and Sean Yang.

A longtime favorite on the Athenaeum chamber music series, the Maxwell String Quartet returns with a colorful program that opens with their signature dose of Scottish folk tunes, followed by Edmund Finnis’s first quartet, a poetic work that draws inspiration from the choral music of William Byrd, which closes the first half in an arrangement by the Maxwell String Quartet. Brahms’s epic second quartet rounds out this exciting evening. Program: - Traditional - Gaelic Psalms of the Western Isles of Scotland (arr. Maxwell Quartet) - Edmund Finnis (b. 1984) - String Quartet No. 1, “Aloysius” (2018) - William Byrd (1540–1623) - Ave Verum Corpus (arr. Maxwell Quartet) Intermission - Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) - String Quartet No. 2 in A Minor, op. 51, no. 2 (1873) The Maxwell String Quartet combines a refined approach to classical works with a passion for its own folk heritage and a commitment to expanding the string quartet repertoire through wide-ranging projects. Friends since they met playing in youth orchestras in Scotland, their tight bond shows through in compelling musical interpretations and their joyous communication with audiences. Strongly connected to its own Scottish roots, the group often performs classical repertoire and new music alongside folk-inspired works. Its first two releases on Linn Records paired string quartets by Haydn with the players’ own compositions based on Scottish folk music, the first reaching number three in the classical specialist charts. They recently gave the world premiere of a new commission by Linda Buckley with bagpiper Brìghde Chambal, touring to Celtic Connections and across Europe. They also continue to tour "Worksongs," a project exploring the folk songs and cultures of Scotland’s historic industries, including the jute and tweed trades. Their 2023 CD, "Gather," brought together traditional Scottish music ranging from 1200 to the present day, such as ancient Celtic plainchant, fishermen’s songs, pipe marches, and Shetland Reels, as well as new compositions. They have worked also with soul duo Lunir and folk duo Chris Stout & Catriona MacKay. The players founded their own Loch Shiel festival in the West Highlands of Scotland and curated a concert series at Guardswell Farm in Perthshire. In 2024 they served as Artistic Directors of the Mendelssohn on Mull Festival. All concerts are preceded by a pre-concert talk at 6:45 p.m. and are followed by a reception with the artists in the Sharon & Joel Labovitz Entry Hall.

Exhibit on view October 6 - 10, 2025 in our Second Floor Gallery, FA-201 Reception: Wednesday, October 8, 4 - 7 p.m. Artist Talk at 6:30 p.m. in FA-105. Art heals. Confronted with breast cancer, artists Berenice Badillo and Gloria Muriel, found solace and strength in their creativity. During their most vulnerable moments, with their lives forcibly on hold, they drew and sketched, wrote poetry and affirmations. In this pop-up exhibit they share the artwork that emerged out of this difficult period. Theirs is a gift of knowledge, hope, and resilience; their work brings awareness and understanding of a disease that affects many women. This show is on view in our second-floor gallery during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Inspired by Audre Lorde’s "The Cancer Journals" (1980); Badillo decided not to “waste her pain” and began to create educational content about her disease. She used social media effectively, with witty heartfelt posts that revealed the life of a cancer patient. As she navigated difficult moments, explaining medical jargon, she also but also found ways to experience joy. Drawings, sculptures, textile pieces burst out. Engaging her practice as a therapist, Badillo also created a poetry book that was provided to newly diagnosed patients. While undergoing chemotherapy, Gloria (Glow) Muriel also looked to artmaking as both refuge and powerful medicine. Sitting through treatment, she engaged in a meditative task of filling journals with sketches and words. The drawings she created for this exhibition, are expressions of an intimate time, when she felt the most vulnerable, and they are revealed to a public audience for the first time. Surreal and magical characters emerge guiding Muriel through her journey, connecting her to Nature and holistic practices. This exhibit will become a touching point, a way to support and start a conversation about this illness. During event park in Parking Lot 1. STAFF spots.
