SUMMARY:Texture: Proof of Presence
DESCRIPTION:Texture: Proof of Presence\, curated by Gail F. Enns and Christine Crozier\, centers on the experiences of three artists and a poet\, each of whom has had a unique relationship to the Monterey peninsula. Each has a story to tell\, and their work is imbued with various humanistic and social messages. However\, each artist uses texture in assertive ways that it becomes one of their work’s most attractive and important features. The exhibition is designed to promote cultural understanding\, community engagement\, and creativity. Workshops\, poetry readings\, and lectures by the artists\, curators\, and others will facilitate and enhance an understanding of the art presented in the exhibition. Patrick Frank\, well known arts writer and curator has written the catalog introduction. \n\n\n\nOctober 4\, 2024 through January 4\, 2025 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 4\, 5:30 – 7 pm \n\n\n\n5:30\, informal talk with Patrick Frank\, Author: Prebles ArtForms; Manifestos and Polemics in Latin American Modern Art; Art of the 1980s As If the Digital Mattered \n\n\n\n550 Central Ave.\, Pacific Grove(831) 648-5760www.pacificgrovelibrary.org \n\n\n\nSee all Texture events. \n\n\n\nTexture flyer. \n\n\n\n.Ruth Bolduan’s paintings fuse together her love of Chinoiserie\, the sea\, and the brilliant colors and elements of fantasy and romanticism found in Parisian art\, to create an evocation of shimmering evanescence\, an embodiment of the hidden and the revealed in art.Jacqueline Canterbury’s work revolves around salvaged clothing\, addresses social and political norms\, and questions conventional functions. Her work is mostly remade from historic textiles and wearable sources\, derived from flea markets\, thrift stores\, and antique shops.Lydia Nakashima Degarrod feels there are many similarities between the landscape vistas and flora of Chile\, where she was born\, and Pacific Grove. She visits the peninsula often to explore natural materials indigenous to both places to create the paper used in her three-dimensional Displacements\, an installation in the Texture\, Proof of Presence.Heidi McGurrin writes her poetry with a curiosity to find answers hidden in the shadows— apparent\, nearby\, and seemingly forbidden. She wonders about indigenous peoples\, their beauty\, their poverty\, and social injustice\, near and far away. She questions family roots and her relationship to the world she was born into. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation\, the Whitney Latham-Lechich Trust\, the Jean Laws Fund\, and Celadon Arts\, Texture\, Proof of Presence\, plans to bring a diverse group of visitors including students from the elementary as well as high school\, adults and seniors—locals and visitors from all over. During its three-month run\, there will be weekly events open to the public including a guest reception\, poetry readings\, talks\, workshops\, and demonstrations.

SUMMARY:Lydia Nakashima Degarrod talk: Plants of Fog and Memories: Eucalyptus\, Poppies and Yerba Buena
DESCRIPTION:Heidi McGurrin\, poetry introduction\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, December 6\, 5:30 – 7 pm \n\n\n\nLydia Nakashima Degarrod\, born in Chile to a Peruvian Japanese father and a Chilean Japanese mother\, is both a visual artist and a cultural anthropologist who creates installations that blur the line between ethnography and art to address issues of social justice. The many similarities between the landscape vistas and flora of Chile and Pacific Grove have brought her to the peninsula many times to explore natural materials indigenous to both places to create the paper she uses in her three-dimensional creations such as “Displacements”\, her installation in Texture\, Proof of Presence. Degarrod’s work has been shown at the MMA in the recent exhibition\, Shadows of the Past\, Sansei Artists and the Japanese American Concentration Camps. She resides in Oakland\, CA and teaches art and anthropology at the California College of the Arts. \n\n\n\nHeidi McGurrin is a poet\, painter\, photographer and writer. Although poetry has always been a part of her artistic vocabulary\, it was only in 2017 that she began to share her poems with the public through such groups as the Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium\, and the Illia Thompson memoir writers and other poetry groups. She has published two books titled\, Havana Dream\, and Poetic Landscapes\, Memories of My life\, which can be found on the website www.blurb.com in the bookstore section. She is the granddaughter of the founder an artists’ colony which is today Carmel-by-the-Sea\, and lives on the Monterey peninsula where she creates artwork and teaches poetry and painting to children from nearby coastal towns. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSee all Texture events. \n\n\n\nTexture flyer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation\, the Whitney Latham-Lechich Trust\, the Jean Laws Fund\, and Celadon Arts\, Texture: Proof of Presence\, plans to bring a diverse group of visitors including students from the elementary as well as high school\, adults and seniors—locals and visitors from all over.
