Penumbra: Points and Boundaries in Recent Collage
May - June, 2006
online exhibition »
This group exhibition features the recent work of four collage artists and a collage poet/filmmaker. Collage artists utilize existing images and combine them in ways that often surprise and illuminate. Beginning with Dada and Surrealist artists of the 1920's, collage art became a provocative form of artmaking, with heroes such as Kurt Schwitters, Hanna Hoch, John Heartfield in its pantheon. In the 1950's and 60's, San Francisco collage artist Jess reinvigorated the genre by combining the sensibilities of jazz music and beat poetry.
Gideon Bok: Recent Paintings
Feb - March, 2006
online exhibition »
For the past few years, artist Gideon Bok has used his various studios as the subject matter for his paintings, attempting to recreate his ever-changing environment into one seemingly static painting. Each painting is painted at the same time of day, keeping a consistency in the lighting, however the contents of the studio change as the painting develops. Bok’s paintings are like time capsules, being the products of his constantly evolving studio they document a specific place during a window of time.
