Gazing at the sky is a visceral and ancient method of inquiry, for reasons both practical (storms ahead?) and profound. The shell of the sky that separates the earthly from the celestial is a portal to the fathomless unknown – a place that has been parsed and illuminated for millennia through the lenses of science, religion, poetry, and art. With the sky as jumping-off point, we’ve invited 20 visual artists- many of them current and former teachers with the San Francisco Arts Education Project- to share their visions of what resides above.

GLEAN is a juried art program that taps into the creativity of artists to inspire people to think about their consumption habits, the waste they generate, and the resources they throw away.

Val Britton: Impressions of Time
May 11 — July 17, 2021
Gallery Wendi Norris Online
Val Britton collects, cuts, paints, pastes, folds, and layers paper. Her practice is fundamentally tactile and reflects a long commitment to her medium. Originally trained as a printmaker, Britton meticulously builds paint and collage layers to create depth in her compositions with contrasting materials and techniques.
Impressions of Time, a video recently shot in Britton’s Portland, Oregon studio, provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the making of her newest body of work and the most in-depth look into her process to date.
Counter Mapping
October 16, 2021 — January 22, 2022
516 ARTS / 516 Central Ave. SW, Albuquerque, New Mexico
516 ARTS will present an exhibition and public programs on the subject of map art, with a focus on “counter mapping.” Conventional Western mapping has been historically used to track, register, and achieve land appropriation and exploitation. Today, with processes such as gerrymandering, mapping still has an important role in the current political, social, and cultural systems. “Counter mapping” refers to efforts to map against dominant power structures. The concept for the exhibition is to investigate how different ways of tracking and mapping affect the meanings and perceptions of places, and to reflect upon the power structures that define those representations. The exhibition will critically engage with historical forms of mapping and the elements of power and culture that characterized them.
