Panel Discussion, Functions & Uses of Political Art Now on Saturday,
February 14, 2004 beginning at 2 p.m.
Peter Selz will moderate the panel made up of Art Hazelwood, Jos Sances
& DeWitt Cheng. The panel will focus on political art as it is
manifested in contemporary society; the relevancy of political visual
art for a wider community in the wake of the war in Iraq. Peter Selz
is
an author, art historian, curator, founding director Berkeley Art
Museum
at the UC Berkeley. Selz is completing work on a book that deals with
40 years of political art in California. Jos Sances runs Alliance
Graphics, the only union screen print company in the United States
which
donates profits to the Middle East Children's Alliance. Sances, a
political artist, recently showed his mixed media painted sculptures at
the Richmond Art Center. He was loudly attacked for his show in
Vallejo, California which used Thomas Kincaid images to parody American
culture. DeWitt Cheng is a painter and writes for Artweek,
DailyGusto.com and SlurryMagazine.com.
Artists Show Their Wares: From Rags to Posters, February 21, 2004,
Saturday at 2 p.m.
Anti-war protests this past winter sparked a cottage industry of
political imagery on signs, billboards, T-shirts, patches, buttons,
bumper stickers, banners, performances. Many people who never before
made political art found themselves driven to put their outrage into
form. This open house event invites artists to share their political
voice with each other and the community. Both artists who have never
before felt inspired to make political art and those who have been
working on political art for years will participate. The artists will
present their work and speak about the inspiration for it. This is an
excellent opportunity to gauge the expressive power of an activated art
community both for artists and the public. If you are interested in
sharing your work please call Meridian Gallery: 415.398.7229.
Hubris Corpulentus: Prints by Art Hazelwood (January 15 - February 28,
2004)
The exhibition of Art Hazelwood's prints continues through February 28.
Hubris Corpulentus is a state of obscene, overweening pride that
produces monstrous realities out of the stupor of irrationality. The
handbooks of psychological disorders offer no such term. The prints of
Art Hazelwood lay claim to such a title in their representations of
Wall
Street, war and the absurdities of society. Over thirty-five of his
prints are on display at Meridian Gallery.
