YARD SALE

2022-2023

YARD SALE was curated by Janet Loren Hill and Jonell Logan with support from McColl Center, and installed by Kristen Rowell at SPRING/BREAK Art Show LA 2023. This lowbrow, absurdist performance and art exhibition was activated by hot dog-eating, tire-swinging, guitar-playing, beer-stacking buddies (just to name a few).

THE team

 

Install

Kristen Rowell and Taylor Lee Nicholson installed the work over the course of 3 days. Kristen was absolutely instrumental in the overall YARD SALE experience, from designing the custom lighting rigs, building a rack for the ceramic dad hats, and considering every detail of the installation down to the last screw. YARD SALE would not have happened without Kristen!

McColl Center

YARD SALE was a McColl Center team effort, co-curated by McColl Center Vice President + Creative Director Jonell Logan and Artist-in-Residence Alumna Janet Loren Hill. “Participating in SPRING/BREAK Art Show has been a goal of Taylor’s for years. We are honored to support them in this much anticipated moment, and we are also thrilled to bring the McColl Center creative community to Los Angeles for this much-loved event in the contemporary art world,”
said Logan.

Single/Palm Trophy

Janet and Jonell ended up winning the Single/Palm award for Best Curation - a new trophy being awarded for the first time! The award was designed Carlton DeWoody (@carltondewoody) and decided-upon secretly throughout the week by a panel of judges!
