Face to Face @ Arc

I am happy to announce that one of my artworks has been selected for inclusion in the “Face to Face” On-Line Gallery.

This bright orange photo was taken in my neighborhood and depicts part of a construction barrier on a sidewalk. Like all the images in my Interface series, your brain will easily find a face in this object. This is part of my larger investigation into how photography can depict the invisible aspects of human perception.

My image will be on view:

  1. On a monitor in the gallery from May 14th – June 11th
  2. In the printed catalog (online and in print)

Details:

  • Exhibition dates: May 14 – June 11, 2022
  • In-person Opening Reception: Saturday, May 14th 7-9pm
  • Arc Studios – 1246 Folsom St., San Francisco (map)
  • “Face to Face” On-Line Gallery

ORANGE INTERFACE

FACE TO FACE  National Juried Exhibition
“Art is coming face to face with yourself.” – Jackson Pollock

After a couple years of coping with the pandemic and the isolation that many have experienced, we have come to value face to face interactions with others. And many of us have encountered coming face to face with our own selves.
JUROR: TaVee Lee, Transmission Gallery, Oakland

Juror’s Statement:

​I was pleased to be invited as the juror having had a keen interest in portraiture, narrative elements, and figuration for a very long time. That interest, along with a felt sense for the physical act of art making, informed my selections for Face to Face. From an appreciation for the sensation of handling fabric, tearing paper, meditatively applying just the right amount of burn, painstakingly painting in careful blended color or handling paint in broad, gestural movement, I found evidence of these physical components compelling. Even the feeling of containment on a small scale, such as a post-it note, or the rough freedom of larger brushstrokes motivated my desire to experience the work firsthand. READ MORE

@nicolekshaffer @recologyair excellent exhibition @nicolekshaffer @recologyair excellent exhibition that’s open today and Tuesday. This program has been producing amazing art for decades. Nicole‘s work is like a mashup of “the Wizard of Oz” and “one flew over the cuckoo‘s nest”
BERLIN:: “Deutschland Deutschland übel alles,” is BERLIN:: “Deutschland Deutschland übel alles,” is a satirical pun on the historical first line of the German national anthem: “Deutschland, Deutschland über alles” (Germany, Germany above all).The sign changes the word “über” (above/over) to “übel” (bad, awful, or nauseating). 

Meaning of the Pun:: Literally translated, the sign means “Germany, Germany, awful/sickening everything” or “Germany is bad above all else.”It is used as a form of political satire or protest. By using this phrase, the person displaying the sign is expressing deep frustration, anger, or dissatisfaction with the current state of German politics, society, or the government.

The original meaning (1841): When Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics, Germany was not a unified country but a collection of independent kingdoms and duchies. The phrase “Germany above all” originally meant that the dream of a unified German democratic nation should be more important than loyalty to individual local rulers. During the Nazi regime, the phrase was co-opted to mean German supremacy and dominance over other nations.

The Brick, 518 N. Western Ave. Los Angeles 90004 - To Share a Stomach is an exhibition shaped by proposals, instructions, and written correspondences sent by artists currently living and working in Iran. interesting work and of course so timely as we hope these artists in Iran are able to be safe — and hope for much more beyond safety.
