It was a pleasure to bring our Los Angeles arts community together for this year’s APAA Summer Salon. Featuring a conversation between artist and Judith Center founder Kathryn Andrews and artist Tala Madani, the discussion explored the barriers deeply embedded within our institutional networks that shape artistic careers, particularly in relation to gender and power. It was lovely to gather gallerists, advisors, and curators to foster greater awareness of the imbalances that persist within our industry, and to consider how we can be more intentional and proactive in our work.

Thank you to @the_apaa, @thekathrynandrews, @thejudithcenter, @talamadani, and @ceciliadan for helping bring this event to life, and to all of our colleagues who joined us and contributed such thoughtful insights.

Inside-Out: Standing in a Threshold
A conversation + release event at Printed Matter
September 15, 6–8pm

I’ll be joined by Frédéric Tcheng, Michael Joo, and Kathryn Andrews for a conversation around Inside-Out and the question at the center of the artwork: How do we remain connected across distance, time, absence, and difference? Rather than treating connection as metaphor, the work approaches it as something lived, material, and sustained through attention, exchange, and care.

The artists gathered in Inside-Out were invited because, in different ways, their practices make connection visible, felt, or operative.

The publication is both a container for twelve individual artistic practices and the site in which a larger artistic practice unfolds: relation itself.

Developed between 2024 and 2026, Inside-Out consists of twelve individually authored risograph-printed booklets. Eleven were developed through extended exchanges with invited artists, filmmakers, writers, and cultural practitioners, alongside Halpern’s own booklet: Dana Hoey, Frédéric Tcheng, Michael Joo, Keltie Ferris, Sara VanDerBeek, Craig Kalpakjian, Robert Janitz, Anna Ostoya, Prem Krishnamurthy, Liz Magic Laser (in collaboration with Cori Kresge), and Kathryn Andrews/The Judith Center (with contributions by Warren Neidich and Linda Vallejo).

Printed by: @txtbooks

Very excited to finally bring the twelve booklets together and into the world.

This Saturday was the launch of From the Inside, an art exhibition co-presented by JDI and The Judith Center, featuring works by incarcerated artists.

It was amazing to see so many JDI supporters as well as family and friends of the artists featured, who all came out to see first-hand the incredible courage and creativity on display.

A huge thank you to The Judith Center for partnering with us to shine a light on the resilience of people behind bars. Incarcerated people deserve dignity and respect, and it was an honor to celebrate their stories in this way.

If you’re Los Angeles, you can still see From the Inside in person. The exhibition will be on view until November 21. Please email The Judith Center at info@thejudithcenter.org to schedule a viewing.
