Jim McVicker: A Way of Seeing May 21 through July 12th In the summer of 2008, the Norwegian filmmaker Petter Granrud decided to make a documentary about a true artist. This film is Granrud's exploration of Jim McVicker's world, and a tribute to his work. We follow the painter as he works in the places he loves: The meadows, forest, harbors, the little weatherbeaten towns, and the ragged sea-cliffs of Humboldt County. Granrud strives for a deeper understanding of the bond between this remarkable artist and his astonishing native ground. |

Monica Schill: Encased in Concrete 88 May 2 through January 2010 Encased in Concrete 88 will be shown in the Melvin Schuler Sculpture Garden. Monica Schill is not comfortable throwing away an item that will end up in a landfill. In many of her pieces she placed reused/recycled items inside the piece so that the viewer has no visual knowledge of its existence. Encased in Concrete 88 is made up of 88 individual pieces. Each piece is a bag of non-recyclable garbage (insulation, roofing material, wrappers, twist ties, old socks, over used dog toys, the list goes on and on) the sizes vary from 1 foot to 3 feet in diameter. Each bag is wrapped in wire, then the bags are encased in concrete. The idea is to give a representation of the space that this many bags of garbage would take-up in a land fill and to give an option for dealing with them. |
