Art Murmur in Oakland – Tonight!

Posted December 4th, 2009 by FrisbieSt.

Ok art lovers. It’s that time again. More art than you have time for in one evening, exhibiting all over Oaktown. Take your pick.

On my list this month:

1. a new gallery/project space devoted to video and photography called Krowswork

krowswork

“Krowswork inaugurates its program with “As X → ∞” (As X Approaches Infinity),* an exhibition of videos and photographs that explores ideas of the infinite, divinity, and the leap between reason and faith as a natural expression of the mediums themselves.” You can read more about this new space and the Friday launch here.

Location: 480 23rd Street between Telegraph and Broadway.

2. Oakopolis Creativity Center’s second annual Gratitude Altar Show

GratitudeAltar

Show opens: December 4, 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Gallery open Saturdays from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Show Closes: January 9, 5:00 p.m.

Curated by Sophie Elliott and Marcy Voyevod

The show takes place during a time when we tend to reflect back on the past year and begin to contemplate the new year. We feel that this is also a time to contemplate gratitude in any shape or form it may take.

We encourage you to explore your own definition of what a gratitude altar could be as you surround yourself with thankfulness from a variety of artists in mixed media.

There will be a community gratitude altar, so feel free to bring any non returnable offerings of gratitude to place on the altar.
