January 13 - February 24, 2010

Reception & Artist's Talk:

January 13, 5-9pm

 

Using video, installation and performance, Jon Sasaki explores themes of failure, tragedy and pathos - with dry, comic delivery.

Peter Smith: You May Find Yourself

March 3 - April 14, 2010

Opening Reception:

Wed Mar 3, 5-8pm

 

In Peter Smith’s works, a universe inhales and exhales; domino dots and the heads of screws glisten like stars while oil-painted cars on clogged expressways carry passengers to unknown destinations. His assemblages unite throwaway culture with aspirations for comprehension, and rather than proposing a mastery of lived chaos, generate a demonstrated curiosity that compels creativity.
The gallery has several events planned in conjunction with this exhibit. Click here to find out more >>

Everyone is welcome to attend and admission is free. For gallery hours and information, click here.
