All are welcome to join for the launch of my new artist’s book Inverted Dome at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture’s Schindler House on Friday, April 22, from 6-8pm. The book was hand-produced and assembled in a limited edition in my studio, featuring full-color documentation of the installation alongside essays by writer and curator Michael Ned Holte and critic Chris Fite-Wassilak, and more.
My painting Aimbot will be included in the upcoming Pasadena Art Alliance 21st Biennial Art Auction. The event will take place May 7, 2022, both online and in-person. I’m very grateful for the PAA’s work on behalf of artists across Los Angeles, and pleased to support it.

Back in 2020, I made a set of stickers using images from Manic Castle Hash, cut them from brushed-chrome vinyl on the same vinyl cutter I’d used to make the mural, and sent them out as a bit of art mail to some friends, colleagues, and awesome people. It’s been an unexpected joy to find out where they went, with the evidence still trickling in — only wish I had more of the rather ephemeral snapshots at hand.
Many of the stickers remained pristine on their original backing. But others seem to have been attracted to technological devices, doors and windows, David Bowie, and surfaces within arm’s reach of children. Could not be more delighted with these discoveries.

In conjunction with my ongoing exhibition Inverted Dome at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Mackey Garage Top, I’m releasing a series of fully digital studies that further advance ideas touched on within the exhibition. The fourth and final work in this series is Chimera.
Digital Study #4 (Chimera), 2022
A chimera is an organism composed of multiple tissues with different genetic composition. In Greek mythology, a chimera is a hybrid being — part lion, goat, and snake. As an animation, Digital Study #4 (Chimera) morphs between three states in an infinite loop, reflecting an otherwise unseen backdrop all the while.
The full series of digital works, catalog essays, documentation of the installation, and more will be included in the forthcoming Kristin Posehn: Inverted Dome publication — save the date for the publication release on April 29, 2022 at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture Schindler House.
