Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

Lumia: A Light Within - A Solo Exhibition by Seda Saar
On View at ace/121 Gallery - June 21-July 19, 2025
Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

Lumia: A Light Within - A Solo Exhibition by Seda Saar
On View at ace/121 Gallery - June 21-July 19, 2025
Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

THE HOBBIT | CSUN'S TEENAGE DRAMA WORKSHOP (TADW)
CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

THE HOBBIT | CSUN'S TEENAGE DRAMA WORKSHOP (TADW)
CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Von Lintel Gallery presents RENEGADES San Francisco: the 1990s, the Los Angeles debut of Chloe Sherman’s acclaimed series following its recent acquisition by SFMOMA. These striking photographs offer a rare window into San Francisco’s queer underground of the 1990s, capturing a generation that redefined culture, community, and resistance.
Sherman’s lens preserves a vital history—of chosen family, radical joy, and a city alive with possibility. Presented for the first time in LA, this exhibition brings an essential queer legacy into urgent contemporary focus.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

THE HOBBIT | CSUN'S TEENAGE DRAMA WORKSHOP (TADW)
CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Lumia: A Light Within - A Solo Exhibition by Seda Saar
On View at ace/121 Gallery - June 21-July 19, 2025
Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Lumia: A Light Within - A Solo Exhibition by Seda Saar
On View at ace/121 Gallery - June 21-July 19, 2025
Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Hande Sever (Art MFA ‘18) explores cultural and political archives by excavating texts and images that shape historical narratives. Often drawing from her own family’s history of persecution, her work examines the intersection of personal and collective memory, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Take off your eyes presents two bodies of work rooted in Southern California collections. To Thread Air (2023) is based on research Sever conducted in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum, and examines the relationship between the former actor and US President and Kenan Evren, former Turkish President and right-wing leader of the 1980 Turkish coup d’etat. Stemming from an album held in the Ottoman Empire photography collection of the Getty Research Institute, In Search of ‘My Beloved Pauline’ (2025) follows the path of a German soldier who documented sites of colonization throughout and beyond the Ottoman Empire from 1917–1918.

THE HOBBIT | CSUN'S TEENAGE DRAMA WORKSHOP (TADW)
CSUN's Teenage Drama Workshop (TADW) presents this adaptation of Tolkien’s classic novel, a suspenseful, fast-paced journey through the sometimes dark, sometimes charming, always compelling world of Middle Earth. Bilbo Baggins is a comfortably well-off hobbit with a love for rousing adventure stories. Real adventures, however, are definitely not his cup of tea. So when Gandalf the wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, 11 ragged looking dwarfs and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo’s love of a good story gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he is off on a perilous quest over mountain and under hill through caves and forest and slimy dark places.

Lumia: A Light Within - A Solo Exhibition by Seda Saar
On View at ace/121 Gallery - June 21-July 19, 2025
Explore the spiritual and sensory dimensions of light through sculpture, painting, and installation in Lumia: A Light Within, a solo exhibition by Armenian-American artist Seda Saar presented by Glendale Arts at ace/121 Gallery.
Rooted in geometric abstraction and inspired by Saar’s background in architecture and energy medicine, the works engage viewers in an immersive experience of color, reflection, and perception.
At the heart of the show are mesmerizing sculptural forms - Chroma Column, Aurora Nova - that refract and activate space with spectral energy. Saar's layered paintings, such as Chroma Waves and Chroma Synthesis, deepen this inquiry, inviting quiet contemplation and presence.
The exhibition draws on the legacy of the Light and Space movement while offering a contemporary, spiritually attuned perspective grounded in cultural memory and poetic abstraction.

Abigail Raphael Collins uses video installation and experimental nonfiction to listen to what is considered unspeakable. Her work begins from a queer, feminist perspective, exploring what is passed on through generations, outside of language: the gaps, silences, and stutters in intimate and historical dialogue. The culmination of seven years of researching, filming, and editing, BLACKOUT is an experimental documentary that unravels relationships between the film and television industry and the US military. Beginning with the artist’s father, a method actor with PTSD frequently cast in military roles, BLACKOUT threads together interviews of individuals working at the mediatized military junction: a combat videographer, a role player for military trainings, a script supervisor in the Army, and a writer for a TV show partially funded by the US military.

Step back from the finish line, because that is where life is lived.
Most of the world will focus on the end product, the best of the best, achieving perfection. Nic Gregory has always seen the beauty in the rough sketch, painter’s blocking in shapes, and the simple joy of mixing and finding your color of choice. This is where art has the most life. Through Unfinished, Nic wanted to highlight the sketch that ends up hidden under layers of paint. Allowing the simple shapes and patterns to sing. Bringing sketch and line work to the forefront, and giving color a platform to be bold. Allow yourself to experience the Unfinished and take inspiration and joy for your own artwork.
A Director and Senior Artist based in Los Angeles, Nic Gregory has worked for Marvel Studios, Cartoon Network, Disney Imagineering, Bento Box, Titmouse, Stoopid Buddy Studios and many more. He is also a contemporary artist exploring portraiture and landscapes with an emphasis on color and shapes. Nic immigrated from Australia to the U…
