Recology San Francisco Artist in Residence Exhibitions: Work by Miguel Arzabe, Sherri Lynn Wood, Paula Morales and Kathy Sirico
August 29, 2016 |
San Francisco, CA–The Artist in Residence Program at Recology San Francisco will host an exhibition and reception for current artists-in-residence Miguel Arzabe, Sherri Lynn Wood, and student artists Paula Morales and Kathy Sirico on Friday, September 23, from 5-9pm and Saturday, September 24, from 1-3pm. Additional viewing hours will be held on Tuesday, September 27, from 5-7pm, with a gallery walk-through with the artists at 6:00pm. This exhibition will be the culmination of four months of work by the artists who have scavenged materials from the dump to make art and promote recycling and reuse. Two events will take place in conjunction with the exhibition. At 8:30pm during the Friday, September 23 opening, Miguel Arzabe will enact a live paint pour. The following day, beginning at 12pm and continuing during the 1-3pm opening, Sherri Lynn Wood will facilitate a drop-in, ruler-free patchwork clinic where the public is invited to construct a quilt out of pockets using found sewing machines. |
Arzabe also continues his practice of slicing and weaving art related imagery, such as gallery announcements or mass produced art prints. He applies this technique to found original works on paper as well, and again collaborating, in this case with an unknown artist, extends the creative life of discarded artworks. Arzabe holds an MFA from UC Berkeley and an MS in Environmental Fluid Dynamics from Arizona State University. He is the recipient of a Headlands Center for the Arts Graduate Fellowship, a Montalvo Art Center Irvine Fellowship, and has been an artist-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center and the Santa Fe Art Institute. He has exhibited in venues including the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, and will have a solo project at the DeYoung Museum in November 2016. |
