Christian Hali: Missing Volumes

January 28 to March 24, 2016
Reception Thursday February 11, 2016 at 5:30 pm with Artist Talk at 6:00 pm

Christian Hali is a multidisciplinary artist.  His work explores male identity, the domestic space, and the everyday.

“Everything is a performance. We perform for ourselves as much as we do for others. 
I’m interested in how mediated images and narratives smuggle ideology through popular culture and mass media. How has that affected my perception of everything? I use the tropes and conventions of film/TV as a structure to explore the everyday, the domestic space, and reflect on the macro and micro.”

Christian Hali is an adjunct art & design instructor who has taught at California State University Stanislaus, Modesto Junior College, Art Institutes of California San Francisco and the Sony Pictures Media Arts Program in Los Angeles. Hali is an award-winning artist, art director, illustrator, and creative executive with ten years of production experience for MTV, Disney, Nickelodeon, and Daniel Ostroff Productions.
