DESCRIPTION:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDate: Sep 11, 2012\nTime: 07:00pm - 08:30pm\nOrganizer: University of San Francisco (shelley.trott@gmail.com)\nWebsite: www.stageleft-movie.com\nLocation: Studio Theater on Lone Mountain, USF\nAddress: 2800 Turk Street, San Francisco, CA 94115\n<p>University of San Francisco's Performing Arts &amp; Social Justice Forum Series presents the documentary film, "Stage Left: A Story of Theater in San Francisco." <!--break-->Join USF for a preview screening of the film in advance of its KQED premiere this November. Filmmaker Austin Forbord will be on hand for a Q &amp; A and will discuss how the film will be used to educate and inspire students at the high school and college level.</p>
\n<p>"Stage Left" is a film in celebration of a unique theater community. The film begins with the founding of The San Francisco Actor’s Workshop in 1952 and extends through 2010. Inspired by a Western history of risk taking and exploration, a climate of political and social activism, a particular multicultural mix, and a geography that is seismically unstable, San Francisco theater artists have focused on pushing the boundaries of the form. Their interest in redefining performance—where it takes place, how it is staged, and what it encompasses—has had a lasting influence on theater in the United States and around the world. "Stage Left" brings together the directors, actors, composers and playwrights, the artists and the eccentrics that have made the Bay Area theater scene an experimental, multidisciplinary and political hotbed: Herbert Blau (Actor’s Workshop), R.G. Davis (The Mime Troupe), Peter Coyote (actor), Bill Irwin (Pickle Family Circus), Robin Williams (actor), Oskar Eustis (Eureka Theater), Tony Taccone (Berkeley Repertory Theatre), Scrumbly Koldewyn (the Cockettes) and many more.</p>

\n<p>The event will include the opening of "Celebrate San Rafael: Young Artists Explore Local History," a new exhibit on the creation of the mural, along with a showing of hundreds of "mini-murals" by Davidson students. Toczylowski worked with over 300 Davidson 2011-12 seventh graders to create the mini-murals depicting personal links to local history. A leadership team of 23 students then met 4 days per week after school to research, design, draw and paint the final mural.</p>
\n<p>The final design includes historic structures and notable figures and themes from San Rafael's past, as well as important people in the students' own lives, like a beloved bus driver. An image of two of the young artists painting was inspired by Diego Rivera's work "Making a Fresco".</p>
\n<p>Supported by the County of Marin, the Fenwick Foundation, and the MacPhail Family, the mural will enliven the façade of the historic San Rafael building, owned by the MacPhails since the 1800s. The project also embodies Youth in Arts' ideal of students expressing their own ideas through the arts.</p>
\n<p>Youth in Arts will dedicate the mural in a ceremony at 6 p.m. on Friday, September 14, at which time the organization will also present its annual Pamela Levine Arts Education Leadership Award. Musical accompaniment will be provided by Youth in Arts' Joti Singh. Inside the building, visitors can see the new gallery exhibit and enjoy light refreshments. The event is part of ArtWorks Downtown's 2nd Fridays Art Walk and National Arts Education Week (September 9-15).</p>

\n<p>FOLKTALES ACROSS THE AFRICAN DIASPORA</p>
\n<p>2:00-4:00 in the Salon</p>
\n<p>Join Awele Makebe<strong></strong> for Anansi: From West African to the Caribbean and the African Diaspora. Anansi (ah-NAHN-see), the spider, is a popular figure in the folklore of parts of West Africa (the stories later came with enslaved Africans to the Caribbean islands and the African Diaspora.) Like Brer Rabbit in America, Anansi is a 'trickster' figure - clever, cunning, sometimes mischievous - who uses his wits to make up for what he lacks in size and strength. The Anansi tales are believed to have originated in the Ashanti people in Ghana. (The word Anansi is Akan and means, simply, spider.) They later spread to other Akan groups and then to the West Indies, Suriname, and the Netherlands Antilles. Following the storytelling, Awele will lead children and their families in Step It Down: Gullah Circle and Clap Games. Traditional Gullah and African-American circle and clap games and songs from folklorist Bessie Jones teach children about cooperative interaction, preparation for adult roles and socialization showing them how to create fun out of nothing more than their hands, feet, voices, and imaginations. <em>Folktales Across the African Diaspora is generously supported by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation.&nbsp;<strong></strong></em></p>

\n<p>This hands-on, 30-hour course focuses on an introduction to arts integrated teaching, curriculum development, and assessment grounded in contemporary arts and educational frameworks from Harvard's Project Zero: Teaching for Understanding, Studio Thinking, and Making Learning Visible.</p>
\n<p>Participants explore concepts in math, science, history and language arts through two arts disciplines. Together, they investigate the different ways that creative arts help students formulate questions, think about, synthesize, and express knowledge and learning in core subjects. Participants make art, share lesson plans, read articles, and write a paper synthesizing their learning in the course.</p>
\n<p>This course is the first in the series of core courses. All courses must be completed with a passing grade; student work is graded pass or fail.</p>

\n<p>***************************************************************</p>
\n<p>A boy's treble voice lasts only a few years. By the age of 13 or 14, most boys will never again in their lives be able to make the sounds that typify a well-trained boys choir.</p>
\n<p>The Pacific Boychoir gives boys with potential the opportunity in these few years to become professional singers, to sing with other choirs, on recordings, with orchestras, and for audiences across the country and around the world.</p>
\n<p>The educational aspects of music have been well-documented. With music as a vehicle, boys also learn:</p>
\n<p>- responsibility<br>- how to work as a vital member of a team<br>- how to present themselves<br>- the value of striving for excellence.</p>
\n<p>Though it takes some hard work, singing in the Boychoir is of course fun! Performing provides once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.</p>\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

\n<p>Day of the Dead is a time to celebrate and honor loved ones who have passed. Families in Mexico build altars in their homes, filled with offerings for their spirits who they believe come back to visit on November 1st and 2nd. In this workshop, participants are shown how to make an ofrenda in memory of someone they love who has died. After writing a short paragraph of memories about a loved one, they will create a dimensional altar using boxes and paper pop-up techniques. Bring in items and/or search the shelves at SCRAP for materials to create miniature offerings that represent food, drink, and favorite things once enjoyed by the person being remembered.</p>

Filmmaker Austin Forbord will be on hand for a Q &amp; A and will discuss how the film will be used to educate and inspire students.</p>
\n<p>"Stage Left" is a film in celebration of a unique theater community. The film begins with the founding of The San Francisco Actor’s Workshop in 1952 and extends through 2010. Inspired by a Western history of risk taking and exploration, a climate of political and social activism, a particular multicultural mix, and a geography that is seismically unstable, San Francisco theater artists have pushed the boundaries of the form. Their interest in redefining performance—where it takes place, how it is staged, and what it encompasses—has had a lasting influence on theater in the United States and around the world.</p>
\n<p>"Stage Left" brings together the directors, actors, composers and playwrights, the artists and the eccentrics that have made the Bay Area theater scene an experimental, multidisciplinary and political hotbed: Herbert Blau (Actor’s Workshop), Luis Valdez (El Teatro Campesino), R.G. Davis (The Mime Troupe), Peter Coyote (actor), Joan Holden (SF Mime Troupe), Bill Irwin (Pickle Family Circus), Robin Williams (actor), Oskar Eustis (Public Theater), Carey Perloff (American Conservatory Theater), Tony Taccone (Berkeley Repertory Theatre), Scrumbly Koldewyn (the Cockettes) and many more.</p>

\n<p>This hands-on, 30-hour course focuses on an introduction to arts integrated teaching, curriculum development, and assessment grounded in contemporary arts and educational frameworks from Harvard's Project Zero: Teaching for Understanding, Studio Thinking, and Making Learning Visible.</p>
\n<p>Participants explore concepts in math, science, history and language arts through two arts disciplines. Together, they investigate the different ways that creative arts help students formulate questions, think about, synthesize, and express knowledge and learning in core subjects. Participants make art, share lesson plans, read articles, and write a paper synthesizing their learning in the course.</p>
\n<p>This course is the first in the series of core courses. All courses must be completed with a passing grade; student work is graded pass or fail.</p>

Its publications investigate the relationship between printmaking and concept; every production decision is motivated by this dialogue. As Colpa Press, Antonucci and Potter also curate site-specific events that address the history of the location as well as the future of re-purposing these spaces.</p>
\n<p>In March of 2012, Colpa Press opened Edicola, a re-purposed newsstand/kiosk on San Francisco's Market Street, selling artist books, fine art prints, independently published periodicals, and records. To date, Colpa has brought over 100 artists to the kiosk and hosted and/or curated over a dozen events on Market Street and other venues.</p>
\n<p>Recent recipients of the 2012 Alternative Exposure grant, Colpa plans to continue expanding its line of art books, and to open new and unusual venues for their distribution.</p>
\n<p>Luca Antonucci is interested in the way space is defined, in both public and literary terms. His work is often a re-negotiating of historical incidents from the perspective of varying technical faculties. Carissa Potter's practice is a careful investigation of intimacy both publicly and privately. Carissa's prints and small-scale objects are meant to integrate into retail environments and point to the hopeless romanticism of consumer products.</p>
\n<p>Artist Talk with Colpa Press' Luca Antonucci &amp; Carissa Potter</p>

\n<p><strong>Artists</strong>: Bessma Khalaf, Carrie Hott, Elizabeth Mooney, George Pfau, Mayumi Hamanaka, and Sarah Fontaine Supra Natural presents the work of five visual artists and one writer as it relates to the immeasurable character of nature: big, beyond, fast, mystical, and utterly overwhelming. Supra Natural is the second exhibition in this new exhibition series featuring artworks from Berkeley-based artists and the Kala community.</p>
\n<p>With three exhibitions yearly, Berkeley Central Arts Passage looks forward to being a part of the vibrant downtown Berkeley Arts District and forging new connections between artists and audience. Bessma Khalaf presents two large-scale photographs that dwarf the viewer and one that creates a mystical tableau. Carrie Hott installs a compilation of research in various mediums making her subject familiar but peculiar. Elizabeth Mooney’s paintings capture a contemporary take on landscape painting – she is concerned with the speed with which we perceive nature today. Three prints by George Pfau focus on the permeable and transitional nature of skin and of the human body itself. Mayumi Hamanaka’s work investigates human stories as they relate to the landscapes – socio-historical and psychological both – that we inhabit and traverse. Sarah Fontaine presents a language-based work that speaks to the immensity of responsibility.</p>
\n<p>Berkeley Central Arts Passage <br>2055 Center Street, Berkeley (between Shattuck and Milvia) <br>Viewing hours: Monday - Saturday 9am-6pm, Sunday 10am-5pm</p>

The resulting images and objects range from the highly miniaturized to the dramatically over-sized.<br><br>The exhibition is comprised of artists approaching the topic of scale from a variety of diverse vantage points: The use of digital tools and technology is represented, alongside works that feature a high level of hand-produced craftsmanship. Other unlikely pairings include works that investigate imaging, based on detailed scientific study, next to works underscored by a witty materiality and child-like playfulness. In their juxtapositions, the works of <em>Actual Scale</em> suggest that Alice might have actually exited Wonderland through a rabbit-hole, only to find herself inside a fantastical diorama, climbing a mountain of children's socks.</p>

\n<p>Making Books Sing musical theater company, a favorite in our matinee series, returns with their new work celebrating the life and music of Louis Armstrong. Back in the fifties, when the United States had a diplomatic mission of utmost importance, it deployed its supersonic weapon, Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong.</p>
\n<p>Known worldwide for his toothy grin, fun- loving personality and the brass brilliance of his jazz cornet, nobody spread the gospel of goodwill across the globe quite like Ambassador Satch. But when nine children from Little Rock, Arkansas are denied admission to school, Louis is forced to ask: is American equality really for all?</p>
\n<p>Created in collaboration with the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens, NY and the Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College, this performance will feature a live Bay Area all-star jazz band assembled by Stanford Jazz Workshop.&nbsp;</p>\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

\n<p><!--break-->This exhibition opens on March 14 and continues through April 17, 2013. The reception will be held on March 23, from 4-6pm with the Best of Show Award presentation at 5pm.</p>
\n<p><strong>Li Ma</strong> is originally from Fuzhou China. She is currently working on her MFA in Painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work is a diorama of an imaginative world where landscape and cityscape blend into each other in an atmosphere of balance and harmony. The pictorial structure and cheerful colors borrow from Buddhism, Taoism, traditional Chinese paintings and Asian architecture. The setting is based on the traditional Chinese garden, which provides a panoramic view of space, a sense of timelessness, and uncovers the hidden relationship between human and cosmos.</p>
\n<p><strong>Eliza Bui</strong>&nbsp;is a recent graduate of San Jose State University's Pictorial Art program. Inspired by Bay Area Figurative Movement artist Diebenkorn, Bui developed a very strong interest in composition in her artwork. She uses various 2D materials such as graphite, charcoal, oil paint, and silk screening. Bui’s interest is in the representation of distances. Distances can refer to landscapes, the outreach of a possibility, moving mountains, or in actual miles. Her artwork shows the limitlessness between representation and abstraction, composition and space.</p>
\n<p><strong>Teymur Guseynov’s</strong> focus is on painting and ceramics, although fundamentally different from one another, working with oils, as well as with clay, fascinates him as an artist. Open to experimentation, he lets the subconscious guide him, the results are often unexpectedly satisfying in creating representational semi-abstract works with subtle hints of symbolism that in one way or another echo his inner world. He is currently a senior undergraduate art practice major at UC Berkeley.</p>
\n<p><strong>Marie Van Elder</strong> starts with the visually familiar and translates the seen through the personal lens and touch, infusing it with psychological undertone and quiet contemplation, using references such as media images, girlhood memories, teen culture, fairy tales, fashion, old masters paintings, collage etc…to explore endless possibilities of figurative painting.</p>
\n<p><strong>Ivy Jacobsen</strong> strives to create a place of magical realism in her landscapes, balancing magical elements with real world rendering of flora and fauna found in our natural world. She uses oil paint, bronzing powder, earth pigments, acrylic paint, resin, and other mixed media on canvas and birch panel in creating her paintings. They are composed of many thin layers of glazes slowly built up over time. Through the multiple semi-transparent layers all the colors are visible creating a glowing depth of field. By painting the trees and plant forms in between the layers of glazes the forms begin to occupy various spaces in the foreground and background, further creating the illusion of depth.</p>
\n<p><strong>Jeff Snell’s</strong> paintings unite traditional landscapes and popular culture as vigorous abstract rhythms. Working with brush and spray, Snell uses expressive gestures that incorporate a variety of forms found in nature and elements of urban flair. The organic qualities of his subjects vacillate from flora to fauna, and the natural position and order of a landscape is challenged in an unruly microcosm. His paintings radiate an energy and excitement that engage the viewer and offer a glimpse of nature's inner sanctum.</p>
\n<p><em>New Voices – New Visions</em> is made possible in part by the generous support of <strong>Lori Saia Odisio of Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty, the Women Leadership and Philanthropy Council of Dominican University of California, </strong>and<strong> Stanly T.

\n<p>1. sustained, multi-step partnership between educators and an Opera teaching artist</p>
\n<p>2. a high level of flexibility for the educators, in content and curricular connections, and</p>
\n<p>3. in-depth professional development for all participating educators</p>
\n<p>In all Opera ARIA programs, educators are “in the driver’s seat” as they determine a program of operatic integration that will work for their classrooms. All ARIA programs are tailored to meet the needs of individual educators with development of classroom content being an ongoing dialogue between educators and Opera teaching artists, through which strategies for planning, implementation, evaluation and advocacy are created.</p>

For the past 8 years, people of all ages and artistic capacities have made dances in parks, museums, street corners, schools, work places, community centers, offices, and just about anywhere you can imagine. Some dances are choreographed, some are improvised, and some stretch the definition of what dance is.</p>
\n<p><span class="dance">dance</span> <span class="anywhere">anywhere</span>® goes to school encourages classrooms to participate in dance anywhere and to explore resources supporting their dance while also following the moment of dance with a reflection: a poem, drawing, painting or interview that gives personal context to the larger group experience.</p>
\n<p><span class="dance">dance</span> <span class="anywhere">anywhere</span>® goes to school encourages teachers to connect their dance to existing curriculum.</p>
\n<p>Finding the many cultural and historical ties that dance can bring to an inquiry and to share those connections with a larger audience who might be willing to dance in the same way.</p>
\n<p>For a classroom or for an entire school to consider an interval of dance is a radical celebration that validates a different sort of learning. It builds community, supports physical activity, and invites creativity while learning patterns of movement.</p>

\n<p>Gallery Bergelli is presenting a group exhibition of new paintings by gallery artists Jose Basso, Bryn Craig, Gonzalo Ilabaca, James Leonard, GR Martin, Susan McDonnell, Greg Ragland, Daniel Tousignant and, Sanjay Vora. <!--break-->Two of the featured artists, Jose Basso and Bryn Craig are profiled in Marin Magazine’s May issue as winners of the popular “Get Covered,” contest. The gallery will be open during the Larkspur Flower and Food Festival on Sunday May 26<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;with hours extended from 11am – 6pm, our local will be artists in attendance.</p>
\n<p><strong>Jose Basso -&nbsp;</strong>Basso was born in Chile in 1949, he quickly attained fame and recognition in his own country, and by 1978 he had started exhibiting throughout Europe and the United States. The next two decades brought tremendous success including scholarships, awards, and multiple op­portunities to represent his country in international juried exhibitions. His works have been admired and collected by Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and the Queen of Spain Sophia de Borbon. Perhaps most notably, however, he was selected in 2007 to create a mural for the headquarters of the O.E.A. in Washington, D.C.</p>
\n<p>As a true master of contemporary art, Basso is admired not only for his tremendous skill but also for conceiving of a style that has never been executed before. Basso’s landscapes are powerful in their simplicity and dramatic in their boldly contrasting colors. Punctuated only by mini­mal houses and trees, his horizons are at once intense and serene. In is Basso’s ability to create such a dichotomy in a single harmonious work that sets him apart as one of the most innovative artists working today.&nbsp;The house is a concept representing a monolith of extinction, symbolizing not only a way to perish but also a way to return to life,” he says.</p>
\n<p>“The house is a shelter representing the deepest aspirations of mankind — the place where everyone can feel secure before the persistent threat to life and individual freedoms.”</p>
\n<p><strong>Bryn Craig -</strong>Bryn Craig is invariably struck by the poetry of a place, a conventional beauty or harder to define character that reveals itself in an unusual light or unexpected angle. His oeuvre suggests an ongoing attraction to seemingly ordinary subjects, inviting comparisons to Edward Hopper, an artist Craig admires. They are scenes you want to walk into and Craig paints in a way that encourages you to linger and appreciate. Born in 1931 in Lansdale, PA, he studied at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art, the Art Students League of New York, and taught at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art. Mr. Craig has been a Marin resident since 1978.</p>
\n<p>Bryn Craig is well known for his iconic images of Marin, often represented in scenes such as a darkened Larkspur street lit by the marquee of the Lark Theater, or the image of the house seen in this painting. The house is actually a structure in San Rafael and the truck and boat are taken from photos of Point</p>
\n<p>Reyes Station, but Craig felt they would have more impact if he placed them into the meadow he reconstructed from an old watercolor.</p>
\n<p>“The house in the meadow doesn’t really exist, at least it doesn’t exist as shown here,” Craig says. “I was much taken by the building’s strength and solidity, it should stand alone on a hill, lonely, but protecting those that live in it, so I moved it.” - E<em>xcerpted from an article by Dan Jewett that appears in the May 2013 issue of Marin Magazine</em></p>
\n<p><strong>Gonzalo Ilabaca -</strong>Ilabaca&nbsp;was born in Concepcion, Chile in 1959. He studied medicine at the Catholic Uni­versity of Chile, and left during his 4th year to entirely de­vote himself to painting. He became somewhat nomadic, traveling throughout Europe, being inspired by the culture, and the works of Van Gogh and Edvard Munch. In 1989 Ila­baca won the Critics Award, for the best exhibition of the year, for his retrospective at Las Condes Cultural Institute in Santiago. He has been subject to numerous solo exhibi­tions throughout Chile, and has work in the collection of the National Museum of Visual Arts also in Santiago, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Valparaíso.</p>
\n<p class="Pa1">On his piece “El Juego de Eros”, “This painting represents the idea that Eros is the energy that moves the world. A young man leaves the forest where he has encountered his love. But we live in the times that we live, always returning to nature, the forest, because it is in the forest where the seed grows.”</p>
\n<p><strong>James Leonard -</strong>James Leonard lives and works in the Northern California Bay Area. Leonard has been the subject of more than 20 solo exhibitions over the last eight years. His work is collected by individuals and corporations nationally and internationally.</p>
\n<p>“My paintings are also the attempt to integrate my profound respect for individuality with the process of making art. I work with in an introspective, intuitive fashion and strive to bring a personal sensibility to the work.”</p>
\n<p><strong>GR Martin -</strong>Martin&nbsp;has been painting professionally since 1997. His work has been exhibited nationally in gal­leries and museums that include, The Oakland Museum of California, The San Diego Museum of Art and The Masur Museum of Art.</p>
\n<p>Martin’s highly detailed style puts his work within the realm of classical realism while his offbeat compositions create surreal environments that draw you in. Structured and focused, his work is also expansive and open to in­terpretation- encouraging you to find your own meaning within the ambiguity.<span style="font-size: 1.3em;">&nbsp;</span></p>
\n<p>“Rex” is a beautiful peacock set against a vertically fading abstract background. The male’s impressive plumes drape along the right side of the painting, drawing the viewer in; teasing the imagination to strive farther past the basic compositional elements of the painting.&nbsp;</p>
\n<p>“The bird’s color is slightly off-natural and presents a crest of jewels rather than feathers. The background is faded from the top to draw attention to the detail on its head and face. Rex is a metaphorical representation.” -Greg Martin</p>
\n<p><strong>Susan McDonnell -</strong>Susan McDonnell’s paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries throughout the United States. She received a BA and MFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Susan McDonnell uses egg tempera to make her paintings. Egg tempera paintings are known to maintain the brilliance of color through the centuries. “My paintings are combinations of what I perceive as real and underlying unseen elements of nature. My perceptions of nature are often defined by its patterns, delicacy and astonishingly exquisite details. I record the process of contemplative observation in the garden where there are microcosms of interconnected systems, aligning and flowing in and out of each other. It is a continual work in progress. The gardens I paint are reflections of the works in progress we call “our lives”.</p>
\n<p>“These are simple collected treasures set on a stage, carefully lit, carefully drawn, then painted in egg tempera using thousands of brush strokes to weave an illusion poised on the threshold of reality.”</p>
\n<p><strong>Greg Ragland -</strong>Ragland was born in Augusta Georgia and grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He studied architecture at Arizona State University, received his BFA from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California and his MFA from the University of Utah.</p>
\n<p>Greg Ragland’s paintings have a sense of playful serenity about them. His colors and compositions flow together to create depth and movement of which his subject, the hummingbirds, are able to take flight within his work. The artist refers to the calming and bright backgrounds of his paintings as “Color Fields,” in which these small energetic birds play. “My intent as the artist is for the viewer to get lost in the calming beauty of these spontaneous experiences in the nature within the seductive “Color Fields.”</p>
\n<p>“Compostion and color are the key. I want to control, I want to predict the gaze of the viewer, where they enter and exit the painting”<span style="font-size: 1.3em;">&nbsp;</span></p>
\n<p><strong>Daniel Tousignant -</strong>&nbsp;Tousignant was born into a family saturated in the arts, and raised on a dairy farm in Min­nesota, he started painting at the age of five. The unique spirit and energy of every scene he paints captures the subtleties of color and light. Daniel never ceases to bring delight and wonder to his body of work. Tousignant has attended the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Chicago Art In­stitute, Central School of Art in London, and the highly respected Royal Academy in London, England.</p>
\n<p>“I love recalling collective memories of peaceful horizons, creating environments with open, expansive, clear horizons – an old tree, a vista of pastureland, and the distant billowing clouds of my lazy youth.”</p>
\n<p><strong>Sanjay Vora</strong>&nbsp;-In his large-scale, multi-layered paintings, Sanjay Vora explores the realm of love, memory and nostalgia through a process of covering and retrieving representational, figurative scenes with layers of repeti­tive abstraction.</p>
\n<p>His works have been shown and collected throughout the United States including exhibitions in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Italy and Washington D.C. San­jay’s latest group show, Portraits, was recently reviewed by DeWitt Cheng in the East Bay Express as well as Bar­bara Morris in the September/October 2011 issue of Art Ltd. Magazine. In 2002, he obtained a BS in Architec­ture from the University of Virginia and received an MFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2005. Sanjay is currently a Visiting Lecturer in Painting at the University of California, Berkeley, and he lives and works in Oakland, California.</p>
\n<p>“Let it last a little longer” is the script written into Vora’s painting “Celebration”. Through the veil of calligraphy we can make out a distant memory of a moment from the past. The work is one of only two pieces Vora used calligraphy in the composition.</p>
\n<p>"Celebration" is about a captured snapshot in time during my uncle's wedding in 1986.&nbsp; The phrase, "let it last a little longer", repeatedly scratches through and across the entire surface in an attempt to retrieve this joyous scene from my past which is inevitably unattainable.&nbsp; Ultimately, this piece is about the beauty of the process of longing and the result of all of the elements coming together.&nbsp;“-Sanjay Vora</p>

\n<p><strong>KOO KYUNG SOOK </strong></p>
\n<p>Koo Kyung Sook was born in Seoul, South Korea and currently lives and works in Sacramento, California. After graduating from Hong Ik University, Seoul (BFA 1983), and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA 1985), Koo attended Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan (MFA 1987). From 1989 to 2010 she was a Professor of Art in the College of Fine Arts and Music at Chungnam National University, Daejeon, South Korea. In 1999 she was invited for a residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Omaha, Nebraska, and in 2002 she was awarded a Freeman Fellowship by the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, Vermont. In 2006 she returned to the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, supported by funding from Chungnam National University, to initiate a collaborative project with Ian Harvey, an American painter. Since that time she has focused on collaborative works with Harvey that they have exhibited in Seoul, South Korea; San Jose and Sacramento, California; and New York City. The collaborative work is represented by JayJay, Sacramento, California, and the Andrew Bae Gallery in Chicago. Most recently in 2012 she was awarded a Fellowship by the Kala Art Institute, Berkeley, California. Koo has exhibited her work in solo and group shows throughout South Korea and the United States.

\n<p>Margaret Leininger explores alternative economies in which cloth is produced and utilized to express and represent cultural identity in our post-industrial society. While at Kala, Leininger will launch "Industrious Anarchy", a project that explores the artist's production of textile objects as a form of protest against foreign produced goods, tariff laws, the damaging environmental impact of textile manufacturing. Leininger is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Art at Arizona State University and is a recipient of several artist project grants from both the Illinois Arts Council and the Arizona Commission and the Arts.</p>\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

\n<p><strong>Co-Curated by Peter Selz and Sue Kubly</strong></p>
\n<p><strong>Exhibition:&nbsp;</strong>Kala Gallery, May 18 – July 6, 2013</p>
\n<p><strong>Reception for the Artist</strong>: Thursday, May 23, 6-8PM</p>
\n<p><strong>Panel Discussion:&nbsp;</strong>Saturday&nbsp;June 22, 4-6PM</p>
\n<p>Kala Art Institute is proud to announce&nbsp;<strong>FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION</strong>, an exhibition of the work of Enrique Chagoya.&nbsp;<strong>Co-Curated by Peter Selz and Sue Kubly,</strong>&nbsp;<em>Freedom of Expression</em>&nbsp;is a survey of Chagoya’s artwork from the past thirty years, including large charcoal and pastel drawings, prints, codices and three-dimensional objects, many of them completed since 2000.<span style="font-size: 1.3em;">&nbsp;</span></p>
\n<p>Chagoya's work incorporates historic and political subject matter to cast new interpretations of Mexico's history and current political events. It follows in the grand tradition of the great 20th Century Mexican muralists; But it is most indebted to the legendary exponents of art of social satire: José Guadalupe Posada and Francisco Goya.&nbsp;<br><br>His work invokes elements of pre-Columbian mythology, western religious iconography, and American popular culture, to address issues of Colonial conquest and its destructive wake, the problems of the border and the legacy of Mesoamerican culture. Chagoya approaches these subjects with a sharp but playful visual and verbal language, fusing a sense of irony with an incisive political and personal commentary. His innovative use of traditional media adds poignancy and surprise to his work, which are hallmarks of his art practice.&nbsp;<br><br>Highlights of this show include the iconic 1984 piece,&nbsp;<em>Their Freedom of Expression…The Recovery of Their Economy,&nbsp;</em>and<em>&nbsp;Recession Watchdog</em>. Other featured works include Chagoya’s&nbsp;<em>Homage to Goya II: Disasters of War</em>, intaglio prints, as well as other lithographs, silkscreen prints, and digital prints.</p>
\n<p><em><strong>The exhibition of Freedom of Expression and related programs are generously funded by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation.<br></strong></em><br>Coinciding with this exhibition, Chagoya will also be working with Kala master printers to produce an original etching in the Kala printmaking studio.</p>
\n<p>Please join us for a special panel discussion at the Kala Gallery on Saturday June 22, 4-6pm.&nbsp;<br>Panelists include:</p>
