As a guest contributor to Open Space (2012‒14), Zimbardo highlighted various site works, public interventions, and artist-run spaces in the Bay Area, including Receipt of Delivery, her weekly series featuring exhibition mailers. Paloma Modupe, video, painting, performance: May 16–June 14 Paloma Modupe was born in Lagos, Nigeria, to a Cuban mother and a Brazilian father, who was a missionary. Her expressive painting and installation practice evokes prehistoric, ancient, and modern art history in all its disciplines, while using ritual practices drawn from several continents to very purposely address gender, race, civilization, war and peace. Modupe lives and works in Berkeley California. In this residency she will be presenting paintings, video, sound art, and installation. The works are explorations in creative intelligence, birth, death, grief, healing and rebirth. Malidoma Collective, visual artists, musicians, healers: July 3–July 26 Malidoma is a women of color collective that aims to convene space to celebrate the spectrum of womanhood in art, social movement, health and community work. Their events are rooted in intentional experience, with a heavy focus on interactive artwork and participant engagement. Torsten Zenas Burns & Darrin Martin video/installation artists: August 1–August 22 Torsten Zenas Burns and Darrin Martin began their collaborations at Alfred University, where they both received BFA degrees. Burns received his MFA in video and performance art from the San Francisco Art Institute. Martin received an MFA in media and sculpture from The University of California, San Diego. Together, they have based their single channel videotapes and curations on research into diverse speculative fictions including re-imagined educational practices, cryptozoological musicals, appropriated horror genres, paranormal phenomenon, re-animation choreographies, cos-play, and eco-dystopian aversion studies. Their works have been screened and exhibited internationally in venues including Oberhausen Short Film Festival, Paris/Berlin International, and Dumbo Arts Center in Brooklyn. They have jointly participated in residencies including Eyebeam, Experimental Television Center, and Signal Culture. Alan H. Clark, painter, muralist, and comic book illustrator: August 28–September 12 Alan Clark is graphic novelist and painter. He studied thermal dynamics and theoretical physics at Georgia State University. Born in New York, he has resided in many places throughout the eastern seaboard. He moved to Oakland in 2013 to work on his second book, The Black Panther for Self-Defense, a graphic novel history of the Black Panther Party. Mary Hull Webster, video/electronic art/painting: September 19-October 10 Mary Hull Webster, MFA in electronic art, works in many media. The most central one, time, causes multiple events and objects to ripen together into a glimpse of provisional meaning--before falling away into something else. On viewing Van Gogh’s Starry Night at the age of twenty, she understood how he actually saw the world. In that moment she knew that reality is mutable and open to infinite narratives of self and other that we can actively help to create. Her residency will focus on Cumulous: a cloud of rounded masses heaped on each other in the form of stacks, sounds, overlays, video, and morning greetings. Shalo P: VALLEY -- experiential video/sound/comics: October 17-November 7 Shalo P's work is dark, continuous, and celebrates life in all its chaotic and clear-channeled way. He works broadly yet precisely, employing sound, video, and hand-drawn works toward a new language that doesn't shy away from voids and valleys. From Shalo P: All my work is my life's work. I plan to retire a little sometime after dying. My last scheduled solo show is an exhibition in a coffin titled: "Isn't This Old Man Handsome?" with a follow-up underground endurance performance piece called "I'm Still Doing What I want to Doo, Dammit. Dont' wear black if I die. Go our and f**k somebody nice. Keep living. It's better than nothing and we got a whole lot of nothing to spare." Sonya Rapoport (with Farley Gwazda), mixed media/mapping/web: November 14–December 19 Sonya Rapoport (b. 1923, Brookline, MA; d. 2015, Berkeley, CA) was a conceptual artist best known for a visual language that appropriated the aesthetics of science and digital media. Her work is characterized by groundbreaking experimentation with computers and data collection, collaboration with eminent scientists and experts in the humanities, a fascination with categorization and systems of knowledge, a consistent reinvestigation of her own earlier work, and a profound feminist mission marked by strategic forays into male dominated fields. Her career represents a unique path from high modernist painting to contemporary conceptual and new media work. KROWSWORKERSWORK + FARM: January 1 - January 10th, 2016 POSTSCRIPT:
