Dream LOGic

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 2025

Los Angeles, CA – Wienholt Projects is pleased to announce Dream Logic, a group exhibition at the Baxter Lemoyne Estate, featuring works by artists Elisa Rossi, Ari Salka, Ben Quinn, Cassidy Putnam, and JPW3. Opening Saturday, July 19th, from 4 to 8pm, Dream Logic will be on view through August 28th in Elysian Heights. Please RSVP for address.  

Unlike conventional logic, Dream Logic resists chronology, causality, or fixed meaning, instead embracing ambiguity, metaphor, and sudden shifts. Dream Logic centers five artists whose works operate outside of language, prioritizing atmosphere over narrative coherence. Their paintings and drawings remind us of the nonlinear, irrational, and emotionally driven way dreams unfold—full of recurring symbols, colors that fluidly shapeshift, and visual “interruptions” that mimic memory lapses or mental pivots. Figures or objects may seem familiar, yet behave unnaturally or defy physical rules. In their works, you might meet someone, or something, you vaguely recognize from a dream or fantasy—like a face you recall, but can’t quite place whether it belonged to a childhood classmate or an imaginary friend. 

Stay tuned for more details on a Dream Logic-themed reading event curated by Ari Salka in August.

About the Baxter-Lemoyne Estate

Steeped in Los Angeles history, the Baxter-Lemoyne Estate has housed cultural figures such as silent film director and cinematographer Jorge Stahl and his son Jorge Stahl Jr., film producer and entertainment executive Moctesuma Esparza, and Delicious Vinyl founder Matt Dike. Lane Dike, the estate’s current resident and Matt Dike’s brother, assisted Matt with his creative ventures through the years and ran the Lower Draw gallery in the Lower East Side of New York before relocating to Los Angeles. Lane is a painter and sculptor with a focus on specific fresco and plastering techniques.

Dream Logic, installed throughout the estate, draws on its mystic charm as a backdrop for encounters with the otherworldly and the half-remembered.
