Architecture and DNA Photographs by Cybele Lyle July
11, 2010 - July 31, 2010
Free
Admission “Architecture and DNA” is a series of photographs that examines the influence of a father’s work as an architect on his daughter’s work as an artist. Inspired by models of buildings and gardens that Cybele's dad designed when she was a child, Cybele started constructing her own buildings out of foam core – emphasizing the kind of spaces that fit her personal life. Unlike her dad’s works that were designed to be used in the real world, her structures were created as spaces of potential – architecture for her own personal/artistic narratives. The garden and studio of the home Cybele grew up in were designed by her dad and, of all his work, had the most immediate impact on her. For this series of photographs she projected images of their garden and studio onto her own structures, creating a 3rd space – one that exposes the complexity of influence and departure from a parent.

Anita Rosenberg Anita Rosenberg takes us on a mosaic perspective of her vision and her art. In this way, by juxtaposing an art frame with a minimalist photograph, wood with intricate glass and tile mosaic, western culture mixed with Asian spirituality and the ordinary with the extraordinary, she is able to bring added meaning and logic to the varied objects of her life. Her goal is to encourage audiences to consider the contradictions in their lives in a fresh and harmonious way.

The reception for the artists will be held on Sunday, August 8th from 12 noon to 3pm.

The Dalai Lama's compassion and love speak not only to his followers and the people of Tibet, but to the whole world. As a global citizen, the Dalai Lama works tirelessly to promote a caring, peaceful, and just world based on the recognition of the oneness of our human family. His dreams and wishes are for a global transformation of consciousness that will change the world as it is into one of peace, well-being, and happiness. His tools for creating this earthly paradise are prayer, tolerance, patience, and love. The Dalai Lama’s dreams and goals are in complete accord with the fundamental principles of the Shumei Arts Council, making the photographs and venue an ideal fit. A reception for the artist will be on October 8, 2010 from 6 pm to 10 pm in conjunction with Art Night. A book sale & signing by the artist will be held during the reception.

Reflections
of Nature Shumei Hall Gallery (MAP)
Free Admission
Philip Johnston sees his experiences of nature as a way of realizing his own well-being. Nature’s quiet moments, even when standing next to a raging waterfall, encourage him to be attentive, to seek, to trust, to encourage, to share, to radiate, and to remember. The smell and feel of the soft earth underfoot while walking a wet pathway created by the passing of two-hundred-year-old redwoods sustain and inspire him. As a photographer, Mr. Johnson gives voice to many urban images by observing the perfect and seemingly random compositions of nature. He shares with us true riches by visualizing the vastness of a larger creation.
