PORTAL TO DREAMS:

the launch of allied special projects

(full video with audio found on EMS Arts)

‘Portal to Dreams’ found life at The Other Art Fair’s Entrance Booth after a cancellation of another show due to the LA Fires. This exhibition was a dedication to the City of Angels that came to life in a magical way. It was the PART I inaugural launch to Mary’s new platform - Allied Special Projects during LA Art Week 2025.

Mary curated ‘Portal to Dreams’ featuring Richard Ankrom , Yoon Chang and her own works.

The activation was inspired by the Japanese tradition of Omikuji, where visitors were invited to write down their dreams, tying them to the installation’s fence. In this act of intention, we affirm the belief that when a dream is written, it is destined to come true.

We showed simultaneously for SPRING/BREAK’S LA Virtual Collection.

Followed by Part II for SPRING/BREAK Lost & Found in-person show in New York City

with a new version of this curation titled: ‘Mapping Memories: A State of Paradise’

May 6 - 12, 2025 during NY Art Week
