Unfinished
featuring work by Andy Vogt, Krishna Khalsa, and Scott Oliver
Opening
Reception: Fri, Feb 2nd, 6-9pm

MISSION
17, 2111 Mission Street, Suite 401, San Francisco. Gallery hours are
Thursday, Friday, Saturday 3-6pm or by appointment.
The
three artists in Unfinished, Andy Vogt, Krishna Khalsa, and Scott Oliver,
share an obvious connection in their use of raw and recycled wood as a
primary sculptural material. There is a deceptively simple elegance to each
of their works. Without extraneous color or embellishment, the artists draw
attention to the inherent sophistication of the material at hand,
transforming scrap wood or thrift store furniture into commanding sculptural
objects. The success of their efforts is reliant on each artist’s painstaking
attention to craft. Vogt and Oliver’s work is exacting, both employ the fine
woodworking techniques of a furniture maker to repurpose found material.
Khalsa’s work is rougher, though none-the-less meticulous in the stacking of
miniature wood blocks to form towering walls.

6 Pack at The LAB
February 7 - 24, 2006
Opening
Reception: Friday, February 9, 6-9PM
Gallery Hours:
Wednesdays-Saturdays, 1-6PM
The LAB will be
subdivided into six smaller gallery spaces for this exhibition showcasing
emerging talent from across the country. One artist is Sarah Bereza who portrays her past with an intimate look at a world of
friendship, camaraderie, sex and violence. Before moving to New York City,
Bereza was a sorority girl. Influenced by this era of her life, many of
Bereza's paintings depict portraits of friends posed in sexually charged
situations. Bereza will also show a second series of work depicting women's
portraits--defiant, diffident, disgusted, or despondent. Entitled The
Conquests, these works evoke taxidermied trophies, turning the viewer
into the ladykiller who has mounted each victim on the wall of his den.

Takami & MoBu Dance Group
Takami
& MoBu Dance Group invites you to experience “Illusion,” a veritable
wonderland where luminous glass sculptures float in space while seeming to
appear and disappear among dancers.
For three days in February, Project Artaud Theater will be transformed
into this magical realm by three distinctly different artists: Takami (choreography and
direction), Kana Tanaka (glass art and set design), and Jorge Bachmann
(sound design). These artists will
unite glass, sound, and dance into a sensory theatrical exploration about the
mystery of optical phenomena and the emotional power of illusions.

Systems &
Transmutations
An
exhibition exploring systematic and transformative approaches to making art
Curated by Michelle Mansour
Opening Reception: Sat, Feb 10, 7-10pm
Dates of Exhibition: February 9-28, 2007
Gallery Hours for the Exhibition: Wednesdays- Saturdays, 12-4 pm (or by
appointment)
Gallery 3175 ROOT DIVISION
3175 17th Street (at South Van Ness & Shotwell), San Francisco, CA 94110,
415.863.7668
This exhibition features the work of over 25 artists working
in painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, installation, video, and mixed
media. All of the artists in this show use a systematic process of compiling
and creating content in the making of their work. By employing structured
geometry (stripes, grids, formulas), labor-intensive mark making (dots,
cross-hatching, text), methodical deconstruction/reconstruction, or focused
minimalism, the works emphasize the potential of their individual
parts--describing not only what is made but also paying tribute to the act of
making. With influences that include Chinese brush painting, Bill Viola's
mystical videos, Agnes Martin's meditatively marked fields, Julie Merehtu's
personal and schematic fields, Fred Tomaselli's intricately crafted surfaces,
and Tom Friedman's uncanny creations, the artists in this show investigate
the optical, the obsessive, the meditative, the otherworldly, and ultimately
the transformative.
