“In Medias Res is an exhibition celebrating the contributions of feminist and post-cyberfeminist artists with ties to the vibrant city of Los Angeles. The artworks in this exhibition reflect today’s digital uprootedness from time-based narratives of the silver screen to invoke liminal spaces of belonging. They challenge conventional definitions of cities and identities in relation to mainstream media, geography, and land ownership. The exhibition takes its name from the narrative device “in medias res,” a Latin term defined as “into the midst of things.” As this might suggest, the nine artists in the exhibition invite us to engage directly with the heart of their stories, wherein they explore their personal relationships to Los Angeles as they negotiate daily life in relation to Hollywood and the broader SoCal area. The title is also a comment on the nature of NFTs themselves — media without a beginning, middle, or end.” — FEMMEBIT (Kate Parsons and Janna Avner)
