Eva Speiser
Eva Speiser (b. 2000, Pittsburgh, PA) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Los Angeles. They recently completed a BA in Art and a BS in Cognitive Science at UCLA. They like collecting trash, embarking on long research projects, and having their materials comment on their own histories. Their rust belt upbringing poised them to be sympathetic to non-living things that fell out of use/were discarded. Their practice also includes more conceptual, non-object based works, but they come from a similar place; they want to understand how things came to be. As an artist and art industry employee, they will continue to contend with the ties that connect resource extraction/exploitation to art collection. Speiser’s work has been featured in the New Wight Gallery, The Little Gallery, Before the Moon Falls, and California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
2024: Quilt for Palestine Fundraiser
Friday, December 13, 2024 9PM–12AM
At FCCW: 3053 Rosslyn St. LA, CA 90065
Suggested donation sliding scale: $1-$25
Reflection of Space invites performers Avery Collins-Byrd, Jose, Eva Speiser, and Nube Cruz to share their work that encapsulates the way space changes the body. At times we do not notice the changes that our bodies morph through; like how our bodies change in weight by a small piece of lent tagging along with us from home. Or the way our body changes under the pressures of society, colonization, and capitalism. This will be an intimate viewing of performances, and we ask folks to be present for the duration of each performance. This show will also be a part of fundraising relief for Palestinians going through an extreme genocide of their bodies and Native lands.
