Contemporary artist Amanda Ross-Ho will preset an artist talk hosted by the Atkinson Gallery at Santa Barbara City College, at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18 via Zoom.

Ross-Ho, who works and lives in Los Angeles, appropriates images and ephemera that she encounters to construct installations, stage photographs and build sculptures where everyday experiences are transformed into sites of layered meaning.

Ross-Ho says she aims to “investigate the anatomy and life cycle of creative production.”

For the 2008 California Biennial, Ross-Ho transported the actual walls of her then-East L.A. studio into the galleries of the Orange County Museum of Art; she later re-created the installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, in 2010.

Her work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and internationally, including galleries and museums in London, Paris, Glasgow and other major cities in Europe.

“As one of the most respected and acclaimed contemporary artists of her generation, we are very lucky to have Amanda Ross-Ho share with our SBCC community personal insights into her art and studio practice,” said Atkinson Gallery director John Connelly.

“Ross-Ho has a unique ability to engage and draw in the viewer using common visual motifs and tropes while always surprising us with her inventive use of materials and scale. Like an anthropological alchemist, she is able to reveal the humor, the inspiration and the bathos in the commonplace and extraordinary alike,” he said.

Ross-Ho is currently associate professor of sculpture at the University of California, Irvine.
