Greetings!
What's not to love about August? The days are still long, vacations are
in full swing, people are happy and the weather is lovely (in San Francisco...we like to be generous with the weather!). If you haven't seen our current exhibition, I'd like to invite you to come by and view "Cold+Hot 2007" - a collection of glass sculpture by 11 artists from the San Francisco Bay Area and abroad. The exhibition is noteworthy for the high sculptural quality of work presented - carved (worked cold) and blown (hot) as well as the exceptional mastery of the medium shown by the represented artists.
It only
seems appropriate that our first newsletter includes a reminder for you
to stop by our fabulously hip Hayes Valley neighborhood and visit this
particularly beautiful glass sculpture exhibition. We hope you'll enjoy the show and
the rest
of your summer!
Warm sunny regards,
Micaela
P.S., our summer exhibition ends August 31...!

Sculptors Ned Cantrell, Martin Janecky, Lee Miltier, Ivan Lee Mora, Heather Palmer, Stig Persson, David Ruth, Lucas Salton and Rob Tribble are also featured. The exhibition introduces an international perspective with artists hailing from California, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and the UK. Our interior gallery provides a sampling of California painters new to the gallery including Jenna North, Sabina Sule, Phillip Hua, Tobias Tovera and Sachio Yamashita.

Breaking News:
"Tall Tales" at Micaela GalleryDATE: September 7
TIME: 5 pm
LOCATION: 333 Hayes St., SF
Mica�la Gallery is proud to announce
"Tall Tales," the opening of an exhibition of new multi-disciplinary
works by San Francisco artists Peter Foucault and Scott Kiernan (aka
the ZENITH FOUNDATION) on Friday, September 7th, 2007 at 5pm. Foucault
presents 13 process-based blown ink drawings that reference mapmaking,
land grabs, and explore the expansion of imagined territories. These
are then interpreted into a composition for sound and video by Kiernan,
who takes a tuning fork to Death Valley to "tune to the lowest point in
America", and uses this reference to compose the music. Both artists
work separately and in tandem to find common ground in works that cross
the boundaries of drawing, sculpture, sound, video, and highly
formalized photo-documentation.
Peter Foucault and Scott
Kiernan are both recent MFA graduates from the San Francisco Art
Institute. Peter Foucault's work is primarily process-oriented and
incorporates chance, robotics, and kinetic systems to create drawings
and video. Scott Kiernan is the founder and driving force of the ZENITH
FOUNDATION, a loosely organized collective of none, which explores the
strongly suggestive and associative powers of sound and formalized
geometry to create interdisciplinary art works. Both artists have
exhibited worldwide and live and work in San Francisco. |
