SUMMARY:Wonderfully Tactile Zoom Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nWonderfully Tactile\, an exhibition in all three gallery spaces\, featuring eight artists from across the state and region. The surfaces in this exhibition allude to the human haptic and optic senses. \nModerated by Ricardo Reyes. \nRIco is an artist\, a curator\, and a cultural theorist. His art employs the idioms of performance\, video\, and installation while addressing issues of ethnicity\, sexuality\, global politics\, and capitalist exploitation. His curating is focused on contemporary art from diasporic Filipino communities; mega-exhibitions and art fairs; photography and cultural regeneration\, and has curated exhibitions at UCLA Fowler Museum; SF MOMA Artist Gallery; University of the Pacific Reynolds Gallery; Thacher Gallery at the University of San Francisco; Queer Cultural Center; Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center; SoMA Arts Center; and Michaela Gallery\, Remy’s at Temple Gallery\, Los Angeles; Puro Arte Gallery and Performance Space\, Los Angeles. \nRico received his BA in Sculpture from UC Berkeley and his MFA in New Genres from UCLA\, and his PhD from the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths\, University of London. He has served on the board of Five Points since 2019. \nThe Artists: \nBecca Barolli’s sculptures are made of steel wire to assert the potential for strength in what is considered women’s work and vulnerability in what is associated with masculinity and industrialization. \nAdam Bernard applies a dot matrix to his abstract paintings using a piping bag\, in order to conflate a mechanical process with one of painterly intuition. \nAnn Finholt’s observations of the natural world are translated into gestural abstract oil pastel landscapes. \nMary Janacek is inspired by natural and unnatural disasters and how they affect the clouds in the atmosphere. \nStephen Maine tackles painting as he would relief-printmaking. Focusing on color relationships\, surface\, seriality\, and the psychology of visual perception. \nJohn Ralston V’s work accelerates and embellishes natural forms of accumulation and erosion. \nDebra Weisberg’s mixed media monotype prints are inspired by the natural world ranging from organic roots and volcanic geologies. \nMargaret Wilson’s painterly surfaces reveal figures from a blue color field\, divulging a moment of unexpected amusement or disturbance.

SUMMARY:Monotype Workshop with Anthony Kirk
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Anthony Kirk \nDates: Saturday\, January 22\, 2022 \nTime: 10AM –  2PM \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nWorkshop Description \nAnthony Kirk will lead a three-hour workshop where participants will investigate several methods of creating and printing monotypes. We will be printing with and without a press and also print from a freshly printed impression. Known as a counterproof\, this enables the artist to see their print in the orientation that it was made on the plate and not the mirror image. Without reworking the pate with added ink\, a second or “ghost” impression can also be pulled. Usually a brush technique where ink is applied to the plate in an additive way\, the ink can also be rolled on the plate with brayers and then removed with rags and Q-tips. This is known as a reductive monotype. \nOften referred to as “the painterly print”\, monotypes can also be a drawing process whereby a thin layer of ink is rolled onto the plate\, paper is then laid over the plate and the artist then draws on the paper. By varying the hand pressure and variety of sharpness or bluntness of the drawing tool\, ink is transferred to the paper accordingly. This technique is commonly known as transfer or trace monotype and Paul Klee was an exponent of this process. He referred to this body of work as “transfer drawings”. \nNon-toxic inks and water-soluble crayons will be used in a fume free environment where the clean up solvent is Dawn detergent and water. Space is limited to 12 participants and a fee of $30 per person will cover all material costs. \nParticipants will be printing from plate sizes 11 x 14 ins. and 18 x 24 ins on paper measuring 15 x 22 ins. and 22 x 30 ins.
