‘Hybrids’ is an art and dance event to benefit the Silver Lake History Collective. Silver Lake artist Peter Liashkov will be exhibiting his collaborative efforts with 12 artists from the LA area in a one day event at the Black Gate Space 1052 Manzanita Street, Los Angeles, California CA 90029 (Sunset Junction) followed by a Tango Milonga from 6-8pm. Artists in the exhibition are Oksana Badrak, Craig Havens, Richard Houston, Nancy Kyes, Peter Liashkov, Lino Martinez, Rebeca Méndez, Ramon Muñoz, Trevor Norris, Pierre Picot, Francesco Siqueiros, and Michael Walker.

Rebeca Méndez’s art work in the exhibition is Recurrence Relation #1, and two mixed media works in collaboration with artist Peter Liashkov.

Recurrence Relation # 1 is a video art installation, where the tenuous image of a male figure emerges from a dense fog. He walks towards the viewer, even at times looks straight onto the viewer, then continues beyond the viewer. The landscape of the barren tundra sits still as birds fly by or land. Seconds later, the figure emerges again, to repeat the same pathway, endlessly. In mathematics, a recurrence relation is an equation that defines a sequence recursively: each term of the sequence is defined as a function of the preceding terms. Cycle after cycle, the figure, returns in silent determination, carrying with him the accumulated memory of the previous cycles. He is like Sisyphus on his way down the hill, momentarily without the weight of his stone.
