CRIMINALES TODOS
a group show responding to the criminalization of race.
December 10th, 2010 - January 3rd, 2011
CRIMINALES TODOS aims to inspire an ongoing dialogue and examination of the social, political and cultural issues related to the criminalization of communities of color. In times of increased police surveillance, tightened border control and the implementation of anti-immigrant and racist laws across the country, we encourage artists to engage in a conversation about the devastating repercussions of policing and the militarization in our local communities.
Featuring work by:
Adriana Vawdrey, Sabina Haque, Hampton Rodriguez, Cindy Chan, Sarah Farahat and Ashley Montague, Kyle Simmons of East space People, Karen Barrueto, Jason Paul Serres, Darren Orange, Amy Buchheit, Bette Lee, Marcos Aguirre, Alex Milan Tracy, El Grupo Juvenil, Jerry Kohler, Hunter Hancock, Pete Shaw, Julie Perene

Proximity
Exploring Creative Couples
Co-Curated by Patrick M. Dacey & Chuck E. Bloom
July 2nd - 31st, 2010
The idea of Proximity is to explore how two creatives in a long term relationship influence each others art work. They can work in greatly disparate styles with little crossover, but what kind of impact does just being in a relationship with another artist have on one’s own artwork. Not only that, but did the pairing come about because of the art? Or did one artistic expression come about after the other? There are myriad aspects to explore. The intent of this show is touch on these special relationships through an examination of the art and the stories of the people behind it and how they interact.
