CJ Chueca "Window Seat" // Oakland Art Mumur August 2025
CJ Chueca Solo Exhibition
Oakland Art Mumur: Fri Aug 1, 5-8pm
Oakland Art Murmur encourages exploration of Oakland’s thriving arts scene. During the First Friday of each month Oakland’s galleries host special events and hold extended hours for visitors to check out exhibitions and meet artists.
During Oakland Art Murmur August 2025 Johansson Projects presents a solo exhibition by sculptor CJ Chueca in our side gallery. Chueca’s ceramic airplane windows transport the viewer into the liminal space of the skies. Spare titles indicating row and seat number correlate to different points of view. The windows vary in relation to the rhythms of the day– some dark mimicking a shadowy red eye flight, another orange as if illuminated in a fleeting golden moment, and yet another white as plain day. The hand-built ceramic forms are as materially fragile as the transitional experiences Chueca alludes to, drawing on tactile and visual memories of peering out an aerial porthole. Drawing on her own experiences of migration between Mexico, Peru, and the United States, Chueca’s windows blur geopolitical borders and the emotional dimension of transition.
Join us on Friday August 1, 2025 5-8pm for an opening reception of “Window Seat”.
