Adjunct Positions

Adjunct Positions is an artist-run project space devoted to open and supportive
critical-conceptual dialogue. An artist-centric test-site, the gallery supports work that

Carole Frances Lung is a soft guerrilla activist, artist, and academic living in Long Beach, CA.

Her work has been shown nationally and internationally.

Tara Kelton is an artist and graphic designer living in Bangalore, India. She received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2009. Her video, print, and web-based works investigate moments in which technology influences our perception of the physical world. Tara has had solo exhibitions of her work at Banner Repeater + or-bits.com (UK) and at GallerySKE (India). Her work has also been shown at the ZKM (Germany), the Kochi Muziris Biennale (India), Clark House Initiative (India), Vox Populi (USA), the Queens Museum of Art (USA), Franklin Street Works (USA) and the Centre for Internet and Society (India).

Her work has shown at Adjunct Positions, Commonwealth and Council, La Cienega Projects, Glendale Community College, Human Resources, Beacon Arts Building, The Contemporary Arts Center, and Room Gallery. She lives and works in Los Angeles.

Sara Schnadt explores technology in her work both as subject and media. Her installations and performances use found objects, interactivity, projection, spatial illusions, and movement derived from common gestures. Much of her work involves representations or data that translate large quantities of socially resonant information into poetic forms, including data visualization. Sara often performs within accompanying sculptural environments, or sites works within functioning everyday spaces, attempting to articulate the personal within virtual and technological innovation. Sara's art practice is informed by her work in civic technology infrastructure development, which is a constant research resource, and drives her interest in the cultural impacts of technology innovation. Sara is often 'at the table' at a range of innovative forums for dialogue around the most pressing new concerns for our technology moment. Much of her work is motivated by a desire to translate this vantage point into tangible material and live experiences.

Sarah Jones is a Los Angeles based artist working in sculpture, installation and assemblage. Influenced by expeditions into both urban and remote landscapes, her work explores the proliferation of complex materials, their fascinating histories and innate exuberance. She received her BFA in Sculpture from the University of Houston and MFA in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Maura Brewer makes videos, performances and JUMPSUITS. She received her MFA from University of California, Irvine, attended the Whitney Independent Study Program in 2015, and shows nationally and internationally. Maura lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.

David received an MFA in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2006.
