PAST TRACES: SELECT PRINTS FROM THE MAGNOLIA EDITIONS
January 26 – March 5, 2010;
Reception: February 12, 7-9 PM
Printmaking is the physical act of layering visual information. Artists have utilized this quality of the print as a metaphor for the layering of personal and cultural memories that inform their own work, often through art historical allusions. Past Traces explores this subject through prints produced at Magnolia Editions, an established printmaking studio in Oakland, that has played a vital role in collaborating with artists for two decades. Work by artists Robert Arneson, William T. Wiley, Enrique Chagoya, Bruce Conner, Hung Liu, among others, is included.
Sponsored by Far Western Anthropological Research Group.

Heaven and Earth: Sculpture & Drawings by John Connell
March 12- April 18, 2010, Reception: March 12, 7-9 PM
Connell’s (1940-2009) ink drawings of figurative groups contain strength of execution and energy that states that they are less sketches or preparatory works, but rather complete artworks in their own right. A series of drawings of Kuan Yin, the Buddhist Bodhisattva of compassion, will be displayed which were completed in 1987-88. Related later drawings of Hindu figures, and several mixed media and bronze sculptures of birds and Buddhas will also be shown.
