PSG is pleased to present the exquisite tapestries of Jacqueline Surdell. This amazing young artist employs complex knotting, weaving, cutting and tying, each tapestry upending a story of American idealism. The tapestries in the exhibition emerged since the lockdown of 2020, they reflect the angst of the times, triple knotted into complex terrains, a true gift of transference!!

Zoom event: In Conversation: Glenn Adamson & Ramekon O’Arwisters
Glenn Adamson is a curator, writer and historian based in New York. Co-host of the online interview series Design in Dialogue, he has previously been Director of the Museum of Arts and Design; Head of Research at the V&A; and Curator at the Chipstone Foundation in Milwaukee. Adamson’s publications include Thinking Through Craft (2007); The Craft Reader (2010); Postmodernism: Style and Subversion (2011, co-edited with Jane Pavitt); The Invention of Craft (2013); Art in the Making (2016, co-authored with Julia Bryan-Wilson; and Fewer Better Things: The Hidden Wisdom of Objects (2018).

Ramekon O’Arwisters heads into the summer of 2021 with his residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts. PSG is looking forward to following this residency with a Fall solo exhibition of his fiber/ceramic sculpture that’s been brewing in the studio for the past 3 years. Decked out and embellished, these sculptures embody the couture of drag, the rich history of African American quilting, the colors of tribal affiliation, the ceramics of the artists and students of CSULB, all mixed and transformed into a vibrant and dangerous collusion of material and ideas. Stay tuned for events around the exhibition and if we’re ever so lucky maybe even an in-person opening!!

In the maelstrom that is Helen O’Leary’s studio emerges some of the most striking constructed, ripped, stapled, dyed, fragmented sculpture imaginable. It is this gallery’s great pleasure to host this remarkable artist in an installation reflecting her recent work during her Rome Prize as well as the meanderings and meanings of this past pandemic year. Can’t wait to see!!!

The incredible high profile paintings of Cornelia Schulz are whipped into heights or flattened into compliance. Constructed on shaped wood panels the oil paint is balanced between the structure and surface.
Kenneth Baker, SF Chronicle, “Schulz treats the outer contours of a painting as a troubled boundary between what she could control and the uncontrollable, between domains of intended meaning and of misreading and chance.”

Aware of the religious and cultural ideologies associated with painting, Lien Truong’s work tests the hybridity and historic hierarchies of painting techniques, materials and philosophies from the “West” and Asia. She subverts color and values, staging a background layered with singed panels of painted floating silk and carefully blended gestures of oil paint, amidst interpretations of historic textile patterns and hegemonic iconography.
