–
September 1, 2018"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."

Kusama - Infinity
–
September 26, 2018 – October 4, 2018Landmark Cinemas, Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley.
This fascinating portrait of Yayoi Kusama, now the top-selling female artist in the world, traces her turbulent quest from humble beginnings, overcoming countless obstacles, to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage. The visually entrancing film celebrates her life and art. Kusama was an underdog with everything stacked against her; as a child, her conservative mother tried to stop her from becoming an artist by tearing up her drawings. Later, she encountered sexist and racist barriers in the art establishment; she became famous for her polka dot hallucinogenic imagery, and was a sometime rival of Andy Warhol. She developed mental illness, retreating to live in the peace of an asylum for the last 30 years. In spite of it all, Kusama has endured and has created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, poetry and novels. People around the globe are experiencing her Infinity Mirrored Rooms installation in record numbers as Kusama, now 88, continues to create new work every day. (Partially subtitled)

September 26, 2018"Monologuist Josh Kornbluth is currently doing a year-long residency as a Scholar at the Global Brain Health Institute, which is a collaboration between the Memory and Aging Center at UCSF and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. He’ll be developing a solo show based one what he learns and experiences there — with a focus on dementia. He’s spending time with people who have dementia (or Mild Cognitive Impairment) and their caregivers, along with researchers, nurses, social workers, and others involved in investigating the causes of, and potential cures for, all kinds of dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease.
In these improvs, Josh will begin to share stories from what he likes to call the “Brain Place” — along with his recollections of a loved one who had Alzheimer’s. After each improv, Josh will be joined by one or more brain experts from UCSF, who will chat with Josh and answer audience questions."

She developed mental illness, retreating to live in the peace of an asylum for the last 30 years. In spite of it all, Kusama has endured and has created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, poetry and novels. People around the globe are experiencing her Infinity Mirrored Rooms installation in record numbers as Kusama, now 88, continues to create new work every day. (Partially subtitled)
