Andrea Bacigalupo
November 1 – December 6, 2014
Freedom of movement and the freedom to roam, themes of past and present, and family and relationships, are highlighted in Andrea Bacigalupo’s works. She is an Oakland-based artist and has exhibited throughout the Bay Area and in New York. She is a graduate of California College of the Arts, San Francisco Art Institute and Santa Clara University and recently completed a yearlong residency at Headlands Center for the Arts.
The viewer is invited to move or roam throughout the spatial environment of basic forms; rods, planks and slabs in the exterior space, and to be tuned to the freedom of movement and the freedom to roam. To circulate, transit, rest or linger in the space can encourage a sense of ease and a sense of one’s own inner score and harmony.
Jake Ziemann
Jake Ziemann lives and works in San Francisco, California. He is a graduate of California College of the Arts, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Central College in Iowa.
His work investigates the formal and paradoxical relationships between what is built up and broken down – both affective and entropic as well as formed and formless. Using visual cues, connections, and/or disconnections between painting and sculpture, his most current projects explore themes of utilitarianism, ambivalence of self, and romance. To this end, his paintings of brick wall motifs alongside mound-like ceramic sculpture evoke ideas of restraint and pleasure in the face of co-dependency.
