< Back Earth Signals North Gallery Eli McMullen Through ethereal environments and abstracted forms, artist Eli McMullen creates scenes that morph reality into dreamscapes. Rendered in acrylic, McMullen’s paintings converge themes of spirituality, nature, and metaphysical energy. The liminal space between the real and the imaginary is central to his work. Light seems to shimmer from thin air, dappling the forests and structures that fill his compositions, resulting in an otherworldly depiction of an organic and familiar environment. Through this work, McMullen channels his own perception of creativity; one that is rooted in realism but eventually wanders into another dimension. To him, this process mimics the act of painting itself, noting that it is an experimental endeavor that bridges one’s internal consciousness with their surroundings.

Up It's Just the Desert Robin Rosenthal and the Real93543 Community As the Founder and Artistic Director of Real93543, Robin Rosenthal has been actively involved in creative place-keeping projects with the Southeast Antelope Valley community, facilitating arts-based explorations of local identity and fostering social connections. The conceptualization and execution of "It's Just the Desert" emerged as a community response to the often-heard justification for desecration of the Western Mojave corner, using the 19th-century cyanotype process to create photograms that symbolize the dualities and contradictions of the desert environment through a combination of found objects and words.

Edward Lee < Back Desertion By Edward Lee Darkness. I don’t know how I got here. I don’t want to be here. The first few months of my life. Easily the worst part of my life. No not easily, my whole life was bad. Very bad. From what I can remember, I was dehydrating most of the time in the soil. Only getting a load of water from the soil that seems to snatch the water away until it finally lets me have its leftovers. Those times were hard, but at the same time, it was a very short time. I remember when I first saw the light, the light that has fed me, made me beg for something to end me, crush me, and take me back into the soil, but I yearned for it when it disappeared beyond the mountains. I remember I continued to grow, my roots swirling and twisting the soil that took so much from me. But, as I grew taller to my mother’s carcass, her leaves started falling around like me like she was weeping. I then realized the emptiness that surrounded me, brown stretching as far as I can see, wrinkled and dead plants, just like me, lay periodically between the endless brown. I realized then, that the soil I hated so much, was just like me, laying in a world we knew so little about. Endless days and nights. But, life wasn’t always so endless. As I grew taller, I saw the endless brown in front of me change. Creatures. There they were so happy and energetic. They were very different from the big and small furry creatures. They seemed to love life. Something that I yearned for. As more time passed I saw more of these creatures and while I continued to wrinkle, worried about the text time the water would come and feed me, I saw those creatures become happier and happier. I wonder what was missing from my life that prevented me from feeling what they seem to be feeling. It's no matter. I can already feel some of my leaves falling, shrinking into a carcass like my mothers. Why do I even care? I am not sentient. I shouldn’t even have these feelings to begin with. But, Happiness. What a joyous looking thing. Previous Next

Martin Bozikovic < Back Untitled-MB By Martin Bozikovic June 16, 2026 I believe my research is getting close to my goal. I’ve realized that the artificial brain that I give my subjects is not large enough in capacity to emulate the brain of a human. I feel as though my technology is far too limited to achieve a grandiose goal like this, one that has no real purpose… but I must continue my research. For the sake of the plants. Perhaps the purpose of this experiment lies more in their own survival than something that should be tested on. But even still, the results are so mind-numbingly disappointing that it becomes more and more difficult to continue this experiment. June 19, 2026 Some of the subjects seem promising. There is a cactus that seems to be dealing with the implants well. Some of the other plants melted on contact with this newfound power. Perhaps their bodies are too underdeveloped for this kind of science. It is difficult to imagine what a conscious plant would act like, given that it cannot emotions in the same way we humans can. I can only hope that they will respond to what is told to them. The cactus seems to notice when it is spoken to, and I had Jerry speak to it from different angles to see if it produced different reactions. Upon analyzing its bodies, the activity in the plant cells was much higher for a short period of time immediately after it was spoken to. This activity was found in areas that were towards the angle from which my colleague spoke to it. I believe this is the start of a breakthrough. June 22, 2026 It seems as though only certain types of plants will be able to physically handle the processes that we are subjecting them to. It seems that flowers and other delicate plants cannot handle these processes, perhaps due to their frail and thin leaves and stems. Thicker plants, such as small trees and, of course, cacti, seem to be able to withstand these conditions better. I will have to heavily modify the plant’s body in order to get a level of consciousness that responds in a meaningful way. Because the process calls for an implant of a massive memory drive, which itself is connected to a computer, I will need to create small stimulus programs to test on the plant. Perhaps I can subject the plant to small amounts of pain and record its reaction. This must be done with caution, however, as the plant is likely already suffering through its current condition, and any more could potentially kill it. June 29th, 2026 The plant is beginning to respond to the stimulus programs. I believe that with further development of these programs and some sort of mobile aid for the plants, they could become as conscious as a human. This will aid their survival rates as they will be able to move and understand when they are in danger, in addition to potentially revealing its defensive tactics when necessary. Previous Next

For sale collaborative literary works between the museum and artists. MOAH Publications SPACE A Collection of Essays and Images Curated by Shana Mabari and Andi Campognone An intimate meditation on an almost infinite subject, Space aims to explode an ordinary everyday word into a dazzling prism via an exploration of some of the many interpretations of the term. Artist Shana Mabari asked more than a dozen individuals from dramatically different walks of life—from an astronaut and a filmmaker to an art critic and a musician—what they think about when they think about space. Their answers, which alternate with exceptional work from contemporary Southern California artists selected by curator Andi Campognone, invigorate and inspire, and in turn become fodder for reflection upon our relationship to ourselves, to others, and to the universe at large. BUY NOW Melanie Pullen With essay by Shana Nys Dambrot Photographer Melanie Pullen collects old police blotters and forensic crime scene photos, organized in starkly poetic black and white archives whose narratives she often mines for inspiration in her own more colorful tableaux. “At one point I started to notice,” she says, “that, whether they were suicides or electric chair executions, women would dress up in their finest clothes in preparation for death.” Slips and new shoes, hats and jewels, suits or twin sets, lipstick and plucked eyebrows. Bruises, blood pools, snapped necks, burned fingers, broken legs. This book is available at MOAH, for more information and for purchasing please call (661) 723-6250. Laura Hipke and Shane Guffogg Circle of Truth Exhibition catalog for the Circle of Truth traveling art exhibition.

David Allan Peters Catalog A catalogue of artwork by David Allan Peters Curated by Andi Campognone Essay by Shana Nys Dambrot A lot is happening in the Effusive Paintings of Favid Allan Peters -- and a lot more than that has happened in them already. In many of these chromatically activated compositions, it's been happening for years. Applying paint to wood panels using every tool but a brush, Peters buils up an incomprehensible number of skin-think layers of bright acrylic pigment in a geological accumulation akin to sedimentary drifts, stalagmite deposits, or the rings of a growing tree. BUY NOW Sant Khalsa Prana: Life with Trees The subject of trees has been a focus in Sant Khalsa’s creative work for nearly five decades. Prana: Life with Trees is the first in depth survey of Khalsa’s intimate connection with trees – her explorations, observations, perceptions and interpretations. Her unique perspective is expressed through a style that encompasses the documentary, subjective and conceptual. Her work evokes a meditative calm to what we often experience as a chaotic and conflicted world. BUY NOW Coleen Sterritt It showcases her work over a forty year period and includes an interview with artist Rochelle Botello and essays by Cooper Johnson, Carole Ann Klonarides, and Sue Spaid. Sterritt’s hybrid sculpture evokes the interplay between nature, culture, and lived experience. Her source materials are pulled from everyday objects and elements. Plaster, tar, pinecones, fishing line, found furniture, and studio refuse are just some of the components she uses to construct and express her richly evocative formal language. Questioning the diverse possibilities of sculpture in both scale and form, her eccentric, abstract structures present strong polarities possessing a resonance at once familiar and obscure. BUY NOW Dave Pressler Idea to Object Covering Emmy Nominated Artist Dave Pressler's four distinct areas of expression--drawing, painting, sculpture, animation--Idea to Object is the companion book to the comprehensive exhibition at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History.

Memory and Identity: The Marvelous Art of Betye, Lezley, and Alison Saar Betye, Lezley and Alison Saar have created some of the most powerful, important and deeply moving art in our contemporary world. Their compelling works forge idiosyncratic constructions of social memory and personal identity, as well as the cultural histories underlying them. All three Saars assemble two- and three-dimensional works based on unexpected juxtapositions of form and content. They deploy the flotsam of material culture, from discarded architectural components (old windows, ceiling tiles, wall paper) to domestic detritus (washboards, buckets, shelves) to historic photographs and printed fabrics.

Estate Italiana Catalog For Estate Italiana (Italian Summer), guest curator Cynthia Penna showcases six contemporary Italian artists as part of a cultural exchange between the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, California, and Naples, Italy-based ART1307. Southern California has always had an enduring love for all things Italian. From food and wine, to architecture and automobiles, furniture, product and clothing design, and the expert skill and fine materials of timelessly cosmopolitan, jauntily chic Italian style. Italy, for its part, is equally fascinated by California. The passion for Old Hollywood, new surf culture and futuristic materials, such as plastics and resins that originated here, have influenced Italian visual culture in myriad aspects of modern living. All of these cultural signifiers are represented in one way or another by the six Italian artists featured in Estate Italiana--Max Coppeta, Nicola Evangelisti, Carlo Marcucci, Antonella Masetti Lucarella, Alex Pinna, and Carla Viparelli.

An exhibition highlights the many achievements and accomplishments of the Armstrong Flight Research Center Up NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center 75th Anniversary NASA An exhibition highlights the many achievements and accomplishments of the Armstrong Flight Research Center The Armstrong Flight Research Center is approximately twenty-two miles northeast of Lancaster. The Armstrong Flight Research Center dates back to 1946, when thirteen engineers and technicians came from the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia to the Muroc Army Air Base presently known as the Edwards Air Force Base in Edwards, California. The migration to Edwards Air Force Base served to prepare for the first supersonic research flights by the X-1 rocket plane. From this project, Edwards Airforce Base established the Armstrong Flight Research Center. This year, 2021, marks the Armstrong Flight Research Center's seventy-fifth anniversary. This exhibition highlights the many achievements and accomplishments the Armstrong Flight Research Center has made possible for the aviation and aerospace field. Strategically and uniquely, the Armstrong Flight Research Center resides in the Antelope Valley area taking advantage of the year-round flying weather and over 300,000 acres of remote land with varied topography. The Armstrong Flight Research Center’s mission is to advance science and technology through flight research towards revolutionizing aviation and aerospace technology. This exhibition shines a light on the research and technological progression the Armstrong Flight Research Center has made in aerospace and aviation. The center has the amenities and expertise to analyze, maintain, and conduct flight research and tests on modified or unique research vehicles and systems. The Armstrong Flight Research Center facility is NASA's primary center for high-risk, atmospheric flight research and test projects. The objects on display are remnants of past programs and projects the Armstrong Flight Research Center conducted. June 5 – September 5, 2021 Back to list

Alayna Boyd < Back The Fiddleneck in Me By Alayna Boyd Stand up tall and stay thin, or you'll be just another weed. Little do they know, I am lacking nutrients. Bend over backwards to make everyone happy, or you'll be just another weed. But they don't see that this depletes my joy. Dust off your long, thin leaves to always look your best or you'll be just another weed. I yearn for a day that my natural beauty is considered beautiful. Always make sure your flowers are blooming and vibrant or God forbid, I'm just another weed. I waste hours of my life looking my best to satisfy the unsatisfiable. Stay in your pretty little group with your pretty little friends or God forbid, I'm just another weed. Can't I pick my own friends? What if I want them to look different than me? Be popular, be an influence, make sure others want to be just like you or God forbid, I'm just another weed. I hate that I spread the seed of the societal norms because in my little sister's shiny leaves, I see a reflection of who everyone wants me to be. Just because it's winter, doesn't mean you should let yourself go I know, I know, I’ll be just another weed. Sometimes, I just need a break. Don't let anybody get too close, always wear your armor I know, I know, I’ll be just another weed. Would it really be so bad that I have one true friend that was always there for me? Do not be fooled into thinking that you would be accepted if you looked different I know, I know, I’ll be just another weed. Why can't what's on the inside be worth more than my wilting outer appearance? All of these expectations are weighing down on me. I stand with my group of beautiful flowers, and while everyone is jealous of us, I envy being weed. Previous Next
