Thank you everyone for coming to the opening of VISUAL AND VERBAL COGNITION THEODORE SVENNINGSEN SOLO EXHIBITION Open Thursday - Sunday 12-7pm Exhibition Dates: October 23rd to November 13, 2026 Location: Wonzimer, 341-B S Avenue 17, Los Angeles, CA 90031 LOS ANGELES, CA — Wonzimer is pleased to present Visual and Verbal Cognition, an exhibition of select works by Theodore Svenningsen, spanning a number of years. The exhibition explores the visual and verbal aspects of consciousness, the two modes that provide us with knowledge. The exhibition consists of two bodies of work: the TEXT work and the STRUCTURES work. While the artist maintains a deep interest in the three functions of consciousness (cognition, conation, and affection), cognition is the focus addressed by the works in this exhibition. #theodoresvenningsen

EARTH ELEMENTS: PAINT AND FIRE  Curated by Gary Brewer  Open 12-7pm Thursday - Sunday 
Exhibition Dates: September 4 – October 9, 2026 Wönzimer Gallery 341-B S Avenue 17, Los Angeles, CA 90031 
 Wönzimer is proud to present Earth Elements: Paint and Fire, a group exhibition curated by Gary Brewer. Bringing together a dynamic group of artists, this show explores the intersection of the ceramic medium and contemporary painting. The Western tradition of ceramics began to free itself from its utilitarian ethos beginning with George Ohr in the early 20th century. In the 1950s, after a residency at Black Mountain College, Peter Voulkos took things further, creating abstract expressionist ceramic sculptures, guided by physicality and improvisational gesture. His work liberated future ceramic artists from long-held traditions of the craft. While Gary Brewer was living in the Bay Area in the 1970s the art world was still immersed in critical arguments trying to uphold some distinction between art and craft. During this time, central to these discussions were artists like Viola Frey and Robert Arneson, who were using the ceramic medium to make powerful works that were irreverent, funny and profound.

A huge thank you to the amazing turnout in the middle of this heatwave THERMIDORIAN REACTION Curated by Umar Rashid @frohawktwofeathers Wönzimer Gallery Open Thursday - Sunday 12-7pm Exhibition Dates: July 17 – August 14 2026 LOS ANGELES, CA – Wönzimer is proud to present Thermidorian Reaction, a group exhibition curated by Umar Rashid. Bringing together an extensive and global circle of artists, this show explores the volatile relationship between physical heat and the cycles of history. The exhibition takes its name from the 1794 coup that ended the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. While the coup stopped the immediate bloodbath, it paved the way for Napoleon’s rise and a new era of control. Rashid uses this moment to highlight a messy truth: the end of one struggle is often just the beginning of the next. Like a Rubik’s Cube, history is constantly shifting; solving one side inevitably changes the rest in ways we cannot always predict. Set in the peak of July, Thermidorian Reaction leans into the intensity of the summer. Rashid connects the literal heat of the month to a sense of social friction where energy and violence can feel strangely intertwined. The featured artists move beyond simple observations to offer different ways of looking at the world. They challenge us to see how “one becomes three” as our perceptions shift under the weight of a changing climate and a complicated past.
