Bakersfield Museum of Art December 10, 2009 - February 21, 2010 Hobos to Street People: Artists' Responses to Homelessness from the New Deal to the Present
...is a traveling exhibit featuring the works of 30 artists working over the last 75 years to document the tragedy of homelessness. Through painting, printmaking, photography, and mixed media, Depression-era and contemporary artists offer glimpses of life on the street and show many similarities between the eras.
The exhibitions illustrate artistic interpretations of homelessness during a 75 year span from the Dust Bowl migrants of the 1930s to the street people of today with emphasis on California. The art and artists illuminate displacement both in noble and negative images. No Place to Go: Paintings of the Homeless by Pat Berger is a compilation by the Los Angeles artist who spent over five years in the 1980s on skid row in Los Angeles, making a statement through paintings to bring attention to the issue of homelessness.
The exhibits open with a reception on December 10 at 6 p.m.

Carol Goldmark Exhibit at Gatov Gallery in Alpert Jewish Community Center, Long Beach, California
September 6, 2009
October 18, 2009
The Pauline and Zena Gatov Gallery of the Alpert Jewish Community Center in Long Beach will be exhibiting the complex and beautiful floral drawings and paintings of local artist Carol Goldmark. The exhibit will open September 6th and run through October 18th, 2009. The AJCC is located at 3801 East Willow Street in Long Beach. Gallery Hours are 10:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Sunday. Admission is free and the public is welcome to attend. In Carol’s drawings and paintings flowers are metaphors for life and death, beauty and decay, the passage of time and the gradual disintegration of the human body. Her work falls into two groups: one depicts botanical forms in various arrangements and states of decay. The other combines botany and anatomy, constructing a metaphor for mortality. The resulting hybrid imagery explores the metaphysical relationship between flowers and flesh. Inspired by the themes and poetry of the Hebrew scriptures, the artist quotes Psalm 103 as having particular relevance: “As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth… for the wind passes over and it is gone.” The AJCC is proud to present Carol Goldmark as our High Holy Days Artist for the New Year. Her beautiful works truly are=2 0reflective of the passing of time. For more information, please contact Eve Lunt at 562/426-7601, ext. 1067 or at elunt@alpertjcc.org. |

From Zero to Infinity: The Story of Everything
September 3, 2009
December 19, 2009
September 3 – December 19, 2009 Doheny Memorial Library
THE USC LIBRARIES INVITE YOU TO THE OPENING RECEPTION for From Zero to Infinity: The Story of Everything, an exhibition of original artwork by Southern California artists Victor Raphael and Clayton Spada. The artists explore the intersections of astronomy, evolution, mythology, geometry, and countless other subjects. Like latter-day alchemists, they transmute a diverse selection of visual materials into rich, multilayered perspectives on the nature of the universe. Complementing Raphael and Spada's digital artworks, the libraries present Notes from the Story of Everything, an exhibition of rare books and other materials from our special collections that partly inspired their creative journey. These items continue the artists' explorations of eternal questions--creation and destruction, harmony and strife, space and infinity--that define our existence. The program includes remarks by Dean Catherine Quinlan of the USC Libraries and artists Victor Raphael and Clayton Spada.
Opening: Thursday, September 3, 2009 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Doheny Memorial Library, 3550 Trousdale Parkway, University of Southern California, L.A. |
Exhibit curator Art Hazelwood says that "some of the artists in this exhibition personally experienced homelessness and poverty, some worked directly with organizations to combat poverty, but all of them felt that art could be used to focus attention on homelessness. The idea that art can have a function in society by engaging in a struggle for a better world, and that everyone should take an interest in the well-being of less fortunate people are the twin beliefs of the artists in this show."
Long Beach Museum of Art is preparing a new exhibition titled Sweet Subversives, which will open October 16, 2009 on the first floor of the Museum’s gallery pavilion. The work of JAI artists Carol Goldmark and Stas Orlovski are included.
