GENEVIEVE CHUA CICADAS CICADAS JULY 11 - AUGUST 23, 2014 GUSFORD | los angeles is pleased to present the first North American solo exhibition by Singaporean artist Genevieve Chua. Cicadas Cicadas begins the Unnatural History Drawings series, whose approach is derived from the taxonomy of museum specimen classification systems. Presented as a site-specific installation, Cicadas Cicadas draws from the unique life cycle of periodical cicadas to explore larger notions of potentiality and the idea of a grand escape. Chua’s practice explores the fear of the unknown, focusing in particular on projections of things that remain unseen. Through an unfurling narrative, the artist mediates alternate realities which present open-ended questions. In Cicadas Cicadas, Chua uses painting, objects, and sound to create inflections of the insect and its environment. Disappearing underground for years, cicadas emerge in great force, and it is this dormancy and eventual uprising that is invoked in Chua’s installation. Presented as a progression, doors are swept open, cages are revealed to have been left ajar and insects crawl up to the surface, where they project their mating call in an explosive and rhythmic hiss and cry. Exploring both form and language, Chua draws upon the collective latent energy of the insect and its mass uprising. Here, nature invades, consumes and overwhelms, ultimately embodying the idea of its grand escape and other limitless possibilities.

Cicadas buzz in the canopy of the woods, then STOP. Abruptly. Then begin to buzz again. The closest cicada, gradually tapering its RPM's, slowly idles down into neutral. Only to accelerate, throttle up its electric call; its efficient, built-in communication device, slicing through the humidity, thriving in the August heat, piercing the summer silence, demanding your attention.

The six photographs called Balto’s Friends are named after the famous sled dog whose team delivered serum to Nome, Alaska, saving the area from diphtheria in 1925. For a number of years, McMillan has photographed in the research collections of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where the taxidermized body of Balto resides. Balto’s many "friends" are in storage and are seldom seen by the general public. The creatures in these photographs were collected for the sake of scientific interest, then categorized, arranged into groups, and labeled. Depicting the museum’s collections not as subjects for study, but as still-life compositions possessing what the artist has called an "exquisite variety and pure beauty," McMillan discovered an aesthetic interest that is far from scientific.
If there is one sound I listen for as summer deepens, it’s the chainsaw song of cicadas as they sing from treetop perches.
