Here is just a sampling:
Terminal 22 - an online gallery which is also opening a *new physical gallery* located at 2288 San Pablo Ave., (close to West Grand.) Opening party tonight from 6-9 p.m.
Oakopolis - on 25th street between Broadway and Telegraph - "Painting from a Deep Place" in honor of Leigh Hyams, 7-10 p.m.
"... Why do I draw and paint?... It holds me to the earth. It makes me feel closer to both the world around me and the one inside myself.... I can draw the wind and the sound of chickens, paint with dust and ashes and vegetables as well as oil and acrylics, make paintings that may be a valid addition to the planet, or at least, valid additions to some viewers' lives. I have no idea if it makes any difference in the scheme of things but it temporarily makes me whole."
--from How Painting Holds Me on the Earth by Leigh Hyams
21 Grand - (also on 25th street between Broadway and Telegraph) - "The Country Between Us" - Installation by Debra Stuckgold 7-10 p.m.
Debra Stuckgold combines screenprinting and pouring pools of transparent color to create her images. These are done on large sheets of mylar. Each sheet on its own appears like a topographical map, perhaps a geography of an imaginary territory. The sheets are transparent and installed in layers with empty space directly behind - allowing light to pass from behind as well as in front. The result is extravagant and near-ethereal, nudging the topograhic image toward a transcendence. This process was developed out of fascinations in the geological process she discovered while working on a geological dig. This installation reflects on the interrelation of Israel and Palestine and combines Jewish symbolism and elements of Islamic repetitive patterning.
Awaken Cafe - on 14th Street (close to Broadway) - Paintings by Eileen Hout and Live Music by Brass Menazeri with wine & hors d'oeuvers created by Chef Anderson Hardy.For more places to go and art to see check the Art Murmur map.
