sometimes a golden fish swims by : Photographs by Mary Lang

June 2 – 27, 2010

Opening Reception Friday, June 4, 5 – 7:30 pm
Artist’s Talk – Saturday, June 12, 4 pm

After ten years of exploring water as subject matter in order to understand the ungraspable nature of mind, Mary Lang now turns her lens not only on water, but on small moments of stillness or coincidence in ordinary life as well. The title of the exhibit comes from a quote by Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche, on meditation practice: “Sit and do nothing. Every once in a while a golden fish swims by and lays her golden eggs. You’ll know.”

A Line is A Straight Curve : Recent Paintings by Jennifer Moses

May 5 - May 30, 2010

First Friday and Opening Reception: May 7, 5-7:30 p.m.

The color, shapes and delicate lines in my paintings create a conglomerate of cartooned and animated abstract images that tell tragicomic tales. I build swirling hair-like strokes into odd iconographic formations, pathways, and architectural spaces that reference an internal world full of oppositions.

Stand : New Works by guest artist Deborah Davidson

This installation of painted columns continues Davidson’s ongoing interest in language, articulating in a more emphatic way her long fascination with the issue of voice, and the correspondence of sound. Underlying the work is the attempt to resolve the conversation between wanting to reveal all and at the same time the desire to obliterate. Their shapes and strong colors echo the quiet but heroic works of the Minimalist sculptor, Anne Truitt.

Susan Scott : Make-do and Mend , Again

March 31-May 2, 2010

Opening Reception: Friday, April 2, 5-7:30pm
Gallery Talk: Saturday, April 10 @3pm

These paintings assert themselves into the space of the room, unidentifiable objects until you see what they are made of. Unlike art that addresses recycling, these painting's parts haven't had previous incarnations---the components are made purposely to be reconfigured. The process of restructuring the relationships and re-finding visual integrity, allows autobiographical narrative to edge its way into the work, while it leaves the outcome open to broad, subjective interpretations. This work is made out of deep respect as well as irreverence for the tradition of painting using formal abstraction as a guide.

Barbara Moody : SUBMERGE

March 3-28, 2010

Opening reception Friday, March 5, 5-7:30 pm
Closing reception Sunday, March 28th, 3-5 pm

In these paintings, dense webs of energy erupt within serene, atmospheric spaces. Although a sense of foreboding pervades the surreal environments, elaborate futuristic structures often sprout from the ruins-- hopeful signs of renewal. From droplets to deluges, water often serves as a key natural element.
