We have set the date of a closing reception for Claire’s installation. It has truly been an honor to host this show, and we couldn’t be more impressed with all of the work Claire has done, both artistically and in engaging the community.

Please join us at our Kettner Space on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 – 6:00 PM.

In the spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity, Claire has invited poet Camille Tallon to participate in a reading and creative discussion about themes relating to the installation.

Claire will also be selling copies of her newly issued photoessay book, which relates to her installation.

In case you missed it, Claire  discussed her project on KPBS’s These Days along with fellow Jackrabbit researcher Kim Stringfellow. Click here to listen to the interview and also read up on an interesting dialog from listeners in the comment section.

An Installation by Claire Zitzow

November 12, 2010 – December 17, 2010

Opening Reception with the Artist November 12, 2010 6:00 – 9:00 PM

Directions

Jackrabbits and the Crow is a comprehensive aesthetic (and historical) investigation into the homestead constructions that occurred in Southern California’s Morongo Basin during the Small Tract Act between 1930′s and 1970′s. Much of Zitzow’s project included extended on-site explorations of these now largely abandoned structures known as ‘Jackrabbits’. Her installation at The Andrews Gallery involves a reconstitution of this structure within the gallery walls, as well as other sculptural references and pictoral representations from her field work. This exhibition, the culmination of Zitzow’s last three years as a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego, will serve as her masters thesis review.

Come join us for the opening!

Brooklyn-based musical ensemble Sky White Tiger is coming to San Diego for the first time to play a free show at The Andrews Gallery. Also on display will be some collaborative video musings by SD-based artists Micki Davis and Anna Chiaretta Lavatelli.

The studio may or may not look like outer space…it will be up to you to find out.

Face paint highly encouraged.

As a special treat, drinks on the house.

Like all events at The Andrews Gallery, this one is free, all ages, and open to the public.

Sky White Tiger front man Louis Schwadron started this new project after playing with the Polyphonic Spree, Rufus Wainwright, and other awesome people (Bowie!). Check out their website (http://skywhitetiger.com/) to learn more.

From the release:

Her Nature is an installation composed of work from the woods of Maine where I spent my summer working with two young women who were preparing to go away to college. With them I discussed identity and representation of femininity in our culture; particularly that of their high school experience where they were growing out of girlhood. Through these conversations a series of video and photographic portraits were born that open up their representations of self and the controlled gestures I imposed upon them.

The portraits are primarily a highly posed and self-conscious presence that I directed. However I also collaborated with them and their concept of the space between girlness and womanness. Consequently, layered within the staging is also a self-directed performance where they exist for the camera on their own terms. This is not just their stern gaze out of a performed character, but those moments with which they break through the surface with their own playful gestures or a simple touch.

At the beginning I hoped to open up the performative in context of a genuine self in the subject, but rather found that it is within the viewer. Through the subjects release of tension via the space of play the viewer experiences a release as well, a breaking through of an unnamable desirable moment, the “gasp.”

I missed posting the first one, but they will have an event at artist and UCSD VisArts Faculty Amy Adler’s studio in Echo Park, Los Angeles every Saturday night until October 9.  Check out http://www.darinkleinandfriends.blogspot.com/ for more info.

Janine Free and Guy Mayenobe are unveiling The Real Life of Mannequins, a digital art exhibit on metal and paper, with an opening reception on Friday October 1, 6:00 – 9:00 PM at Gallery 21 in the Spanish Village located between the Zoo and the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park.   There will be wine, food and live music by Jazz band Endangered Speciez.

Free and Mayenobe have a radically different view of the mannequins’ lives. Free captures reflections which look digitally manipulated but are not; Guy is creating images that look real but are fabricated.

Performance artist and UCSD MFA Sheryl Oring participating in what looks to be a rather comprehensive show of some of today’s best emerging contemporary artists.
