Dear Reader,
Douglass Freed's solo exhibition, on Friday, November 9, at 5 pm.
 For his first solo exhibition at Micaëla, Douglass Freed presents multi-paneled oil paintings, epic in both size and scope. His luminescent canvases find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Much of Freed's work takes on a cinematic quality, not only by its size and dimension; but in his usage of the diptych and triptych as systems to break enveloping natural settings into interstices of time and transition. His work will be featured in Micaëla's Gallery 1.
In Gallery 2, Micaëla presents Anne Yalon, a cross-disciplinary San Francisco based artist whose work speaks to a landscape's potential as a witness to events. For this show, Yalon presents ghostly prints from Polaroids of the Irish countryside. Ranging from ruins to shipwrecks, they are heavy with the palpable weight of memory. Additionally, her split screen video, "Reoriented," mixes rhythmic sound with the artist's footsteps as she takes the viewer around present-day Treasure Island and its ruins from the 1939 World's Fair. Yalon's plumbing of the residual memory embedded in landscape acts as poignant punctuation to the immediacy of Freed's panoramas.On behalf of our gallery, and my fabulously hip Hayes Valley neighbors, I invite you to visit our corner of San Francisco and our current exhibition. We hope you'll enjoy the show!
Warm regards,
Micaela P.S., our current exhibition ends November 30...! |
