Bedford Gallery 1601 Civic Drive Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (925) 295-1417 11:00 am: Nine Hearts Exploring11:00 am: Nine Hearts Exploring – "Jack Fischer Gallery presents Nine Hearts Exploring (from Creativity Explored), a new exhibition showcasing 46 individual artworks. The respected art collector and gallery owner Jack Fischer says the artwork included “would already be a part of his own collection if he only had the space!” The nine exhibiting artists range in age from 23 to 65, representing multiple cultural points of view. The mixed media work included in the exhibition highlights simple and complex line drawings, multiple examples of text-based art, as well as lush, colorful pieces on paper, wood, and ceramic. Selected artists include some of Fischer’s “old favorites” including Andrew Li (b. 1962) who had a solo exhibition of gestural drawings at the Jack Fischer Gallery before it relocated and expanded to two locations in the Potrero Hill and the Dogpatch neighborhoods. Another artist who focuses on the use of line, albeit in a completely opposite way than Li, is James Miles (b. 1957). His miniature ink drawings of quiet scenes tell stories and draw the viewer in closer for closer examination of his deceptively simple compositions. A long-time fan of Evelyn Reyes’ (b. 1957) graphic oil pastel drawings and Camille Holvoet’s (b. 1952) depictions of colorful confections, Fischer selected several of their works adding vibrant pops of pigment among the monochromatic line drawings. Further along the color spectrum is new work by Samedi Djeimguero (b. 1995), the youngest artist included in the exhibition whose large-scale oil pastel drawings, reminiscent of Rothko, supply visual pools for the eyes to do a deep dive. John Patrick McKenzie (b. 1962) and Daniel Green (b. 1985), long heralded by Fischer, create popular text-based works that reference popular culture and politics, with wry wit. The work included in Nine Hearts Exploring is mostly drawn on unusual surfaces such as a Victorian window, cigarette box, and fiberboard samples. Alongside artists that Fischer is well acquainted with are some new discoveries including Roland Record (b. 1975) and Nubia Ortega (b. 1976). Record creates complex compositions made up of fragmented grids and intersecting patterns with occasional figures, hearts, houses, and flowers, while Ortega molds textured fish and playful toy cars in glazed ceramic." 311 Potrero Avenue San Francisco, CA 94103 USA 415 522 1178 |

Pagliacci (The Clowns) may be the most compelling short opera ever written. Based on a real life incident, the story is told as a play within a play. A troupe of traveling actors portrays the stock characters of Italian comedy: Harlequin, Columbine, and the Clown (Pagliaccio). But tragedy is inevitable. Real life intrudes on a stage play, as the audience gasps. This film of the 2007 Verona production simply kills – both figuratively and literally. French tenor Roberto Alagna sings his heart out as Canio, the murderously jealous clown married to an unfaithful wife. Bulgarian soprano Svetla Vassileva catches fire as Neddat, a woman controlled by her passions. Italian baritone Alberto Mastromarino is the hunchback Tonio, who plots revenge against Nedda for mocking his declarations of love." So, quick question, why do writers use disabled male characters as a vehicle for fulfilling their toxic, misogynistic revenge fantasies against women? Is this a "commit representational violence against two birds with one stone" kinda situation? 190 Lenox Way San Francisco, CA 94127 USA (415) 355-2886 8:00 pm: OUTDOOR Superfest8:00 pm: OUTDOOR Superfest – first ever OUTDOOR Superfest Showcase movie night!
