Dreaming of Equ>lity

University of the Pacific and Marie Lee

On January 14, 2021 at 6pm PT, the Reynolds Gallery is pleased to host the opening of a juried virtual exhibition, “Dreaming of Equ>lity.” University of the Pacific student curators selected work from an open call addressing social and political discourses stimulated by the global crises of 2020. Thirty-one artists at all stages of their careers from across the US contributed work focused on their hopes for an end to the collective traumas of injustice, racism, discrimination, and climate destruction.

Artists bravely confront systemic disadvantages with camera, paintbrush, and pencil as swords. They also make the best of virtual opportunities to communicate messages of hope and to challenge us to create a more just and equal society. The forty-six pieces in the show include documentary photography, photomontage, painting, drawing, collage, sculpture and video. Artists address issues of identity - Black Lives Matter features prominently - from painful experiences of constraint to proposing new ways of being free and genuine self-care. Tackling historic iniquity and honoring significant influences, they point to futures diverse and deeply imagined.

Exhibiting artists: Kamal Al Mansour, Ahmet Arslan, Jena Ataras, Aram Bea, Gretchen Beck, Joe Bussell, Christian Bustos, John Chang, Trevor Coopersmith, Michael Darough, Michael Kenneth Depue, Greta Dole, Kia Duras-Carter, Roya Farassat, Sherry Muyuan He, Firoz Mahmud, Crystal Marshall, George Lorio, Paolo Morales, Jeff Musser, Brenda Munguia, Nimisha Doongarwal, Alissa Ohashi, Nikki Parikh, Chris Revelle, Ann Stoddard, Laura Tanner, VANCAI, Morrie Warshawski, Sara Zielinski, and Jing Zhou.

The exhibition was conceived and created by student co-curators Crystal Baltazar, Paola Baltazar Salcedo, Angelique Doty, Jennifer Nava, Megan Rabatan and Kaelani Valdez-Nawatani under the mentorship of professor Marie Lee and university curator Lisa Cooperman.

going2ground

University of the Pacific

going2ground suggests both concealment and re-discovery of the stabilizing touchpoints necessary to make art. During lockdown many Pacific artists lost access to studio space and the in-person relationships that foster vibrant artistic practice. Despite the pressure of switching to remote teaching and the isolation of quarantine, new forms of creativity emerged. Some artists entered periods of resolve as projects grew and blossomed with the benefit of focused attention. For others, quarantine opened avenues of exploration from which essential truths and acts of care and radical imagination emerged.

This virtual exhibition features work created by faculty and emerita in AMPD – home to Media X and the Art & Graphic Design program including Brett DeBoer, Cathie McClellan, Deanna Hunt, Jennifer Little, Jill Vasileff, K Pontuti, Lisa Cooperman, Lucinda Kasser, Macelle Mahala, Marie Lee, Michael Leonard.
Gone Viral: Museum Studies Online Exhibition

University of the Pacific and Lisa Cooperman

On February 25th museum studies students decided to create a coronavirus themed pop-up exhibition for their mid-semester project. Within two weeks our world was upended with campus closure and a move to distance learning for the end of the term. What began as an in-person collaboration designed for a campus gallery about a timely topic shifted, as students moved from bystanders to active participants in this global crisis. The focus of the show evolved to reflect their experiences, fears, stress, coping mechanisms, and hope for the future.

University of the Pacific and Lucinda Kasser

This gallery event is free and open to the public.

Award winning, master artists, Carolyn Lord and Peggi Kroll-Roberts, are California painters, as such their work embodies the hot sun, hardy flora, and visual drama of the place where they paint and live. It also embodies something of the spirit of the state; its scrappiness and constant reinvention. Distilled through the filters of t wo unique styles - gardens, landscapes, houses, and figures are the subjects of the paintings on exhibit. With glorious color and exquisite design these contemporary painters bring scenes from everyday life to their canvases and open our eyes to its beauty.

With insatiable curiosity both Kroll-Roberts and Lord continue to delve into the treasure trove of art history for inspiration and to hone their craft. They also turn again and again to children literally growing beyond the image's edge; gardens unruly and tamed, poised to change again and finding in each new season a deeper understanding of the reasons they make paintings.

The Revolution will be DIY

University of the Pacific and Lisa Cooperman

Reynolds Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of The Revolution Will Be DIY, an interactive exhibition and event series that begins on March 20 and concludes on April 13, 2018. Through the run of the show the gallery will host art installations, collaborative projects, and performances by campus and community artists that empower change through creative action. All events are free and open to the entire campus and community.

"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself," observed artist Andy Warhol. The do-it-yourself message could not be more relevant to current social conversations. Do-it-yourself connects the intersecting social justice topics of the show and supports the university's current Sustainability theme of "Intertwined." Materials from the Holt-Atherton archives frame the history of Pacific campus activism from the civil rights era to the present including letters from the Black Student Caucus and a DeltaFusion puppet.

Community artist Garrett Daniells' installation Desert Cornucopia addresses food insecurity in the area. Art activist and Stockton native Ryan Camero and Pacific student Carmen Cobian will co-create a migration themed mural called Borderlands. Local artisan and 'glitter punk weaver' Shannon Spohn will lead a community weaving workshop and the owners of Stockton Rags will demonstrate their screen-printing process and encourage local business startups. Jazmine Munoz from Sustaining Pacific leads an art workshop on Endangered Animals. The Singing Hands Student Collective will demonstrate their cooperative project with Chinese artisans. Risa Fujishige, alumna and artist leads a Social Fabric Clothesline Project and exhibition organizer Lisa Cooperman hosts afternoons for participants to Stich & Bitch. Drop-in interactive projects are ongoing and open to all.

Punk rock epitomizes the do-it-yourself ethos. Chad Sengstock's photographs from greater California's punk shows are featured in the exhibition along with images from the Stockton music scene by Hanna Thrasher and Jacob Porta. The exhibition concludes with a free, all-ages show of punk and metal bands NDN Giver, Cheap Shoes, Knee Deep, and xMalcolmx. Visitors who bring a non-perishable food or hygiene product for the Desert Cornucopia installation will get a special coupon for the E.A.T.s food truck which will be on site for the show.

The project has been made possible by our community collaborators Goodstock Productions. It is also supported by the Department of Art & Graphic Design, General Education, Holt-Atherton Special Collections, Pacific Arts and Lectures Committee, Pacific Music Management Club, Pacific Student Art Club, Sustaining Pacific, Thomas J. Long Foundation, Title IX, and the Women's Resource Center.
Shifting Gears: Making of an Art Car

University of the Pacific

Reynolds Gallery is pleased to announce Shifting Gears: The Making of an Art Car, a process exhibition opening Tuesday, February 20, on view until March 9. Join a selected group of Pacific student artists as they paint and transform the Art Car. The revealing of the finished Art Car, will take place during a reception in the gallery, March 8, 6:00-8:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. This exhibition will also feature a series of painted car parts by the University of the Pacific students.

This project is the brainchild of Pacific alumnus Dick McClure '78. A lifelong obsession with speed and style has led to a substantial collection of vintage sports cars. McClure organizes the annual Fall Colors Moto Tour whose members gathered at Pacific last October to hand over the keys to a 1982 BMW 320i for students to transform.

The members support for this project enabled interested students to visit the local pick-n-pull and select car body parts to try out their painting skills. Developing a concept for their art car tested their collaborative and technical skills as well. Art cars were first introduced in 1975 by the French racecar driver and auctioneer Hervé Poulain. He began this era of car canvases when he commissioned American artist and friend Alexander Calder to paint and transform the first BMW Art Car, presenting a recognizable canvas for complex ideas.

In preparation for the exhibition Mike Lamm, automotive journalist, author, historian and Phil Toy, professional automotive photographer visited campus to meet students and provide context for the evolution of car design and aesthetics. McClure shared examples of art cars from Janis Joplin, to Alexander Calder, Barbara Kruger, and Andy Warhol. Local muralist Carlos Lopez met with students providing invaluable technical advice about working on a large scale with industrial material. Support for the exhibition is provided by the Department of Art & Graphic Design and the Pacific Alumni Association.

A public reception is scheduled for Thursday, October 5, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Through Lines, an art and graphic design faculty exhibition, explores the artistic evolution of eleven participating artists. Each is represented by three works from undergraduate, graduate student eras and work made in their contemporary practice.

The "through lines" on display represent concepts, mediums, and techniques with which each artist has been involved and revisited over time. They are not necessarily straight or continuous. Nor do they tell the entire story of each artist's development. Some work is connected by subject matter as in Dan Kasser's symbolic and Jennifer Little's documentary landscapes. Subject matter also connects Barbara Flaherty's cave paintings, Deanna Hunt's fascination with trees, and Lisa Cooperman's focus on the human body. Material explorations are featured in S. Brett DeBoer's reinterpreted game pieces and musical instruments and Jill Vasileff's saturated, tactile installations. Marie Anna Lee and Michael Leonard present work on the spectrum of illustration. Monika Meler and Lucinda Kasser share the evolution of their luminous work in printmaking and painting.

Through Lines features photography, painting, prints, posters and sculpture by Barbara Flaherty, Daniel Kasser, Deanna Hunt, Jennifer Little, Jill Vasileff, Lisa Cooperman, Lucinda Kasser, Marie Anna Lee, Michael Leonard, Monika Meler, and S. Brett DeBoer.

Cross-Eyed: Two Sibilings /Distinct Memories

University of the Pacific and Daniel Kasser

The Reynolds Gallery presents, Cross-Eyed: Two Siblings/Distinct Memories an exhibition of works by brother and sister, John and Leah Harper, on view February 27 through March 31, 2017. Gallery reception and presentation by the artists, Thursday, March 9 at 6:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Through writings and artworks, siblings John and Leah Harper have created a magical and humorous exhibit drawn from diverging memories of shared childhood experiences. Growing up in a family of little means, the Harpers did not have an abundance of material wealth. However, they did have a rich cultural background of California pioneer and Native American heritage. Active imaginations and childhood creativity more than made up for a lack of fancy toys, board games or television. John Harper notes: "We were a very large and religious family sharing an acre of land with our chickens, pigs, turkeys, ducks and at least one cow, not to mention the fruit trees, a vegetable garden and Mom's strawberry patch. It seemed to me we had everything."

The result of the Harper's collective memories is a wonderful multidimensional exhibition with whimsical, artworks likely to evoke childhood memories from visitors to the gallery. This exhibition revives colorful childhood antics and absurdities through a mixture of natural materials and iconography that were commonplace to their childhood. Each artwork is accompanied by a narrative panel, through which the artists' share their distinct and divergent memories of the same event. This exhibition originated at the Redding Art Museum in 1998 and has traveled to the National John Steinbeck Center in Salinas, California, The Hermitage Museum in Nashville Tennessee and returned to Redding, California with an exhibition and lecture presentation at the Shasta College Art Gallery. John Harper is an Emeritus Professor of Art at Shasta College in Redding, California. Leah Harper is a teacher, artist, musician and puppeteer. She is also a native healer for the NorRelMuk Wintu tribe.

"Golden Gateway to Manteca" at 213 W. Yosemite Ave. in downtown Manteca.

A native of California and raised in the San Joaquin Valley, Ron graduated from the University of the Pacific with a B.A. Art in 1956. He went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts degree at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland. An art educator for more than forty years, Professor Emeritus Pecchenino was Chairperson of the Department of Art at the University of the Pacific from 1983-1991 and 1993-1995.

An outstanding, engaging professor and effective mentor and role model to junior faculty, he led a restructuring of the art department's instructional programs, brought computer technology into the art curriculum, initiated the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design degree program and worked to obtain Pacific's first full accreditation for professional degrees in studio art and graphic design from the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. In 1992, he was recognized for his teaching and scholarship with Pacific's Distinguished Faculty Award. At his retirement in January 1996, he was awarded the Order of Pacific, the University's highest honor.

While he explored a diverse range of subject matter, nature - particularly the California landscape was his touchstone. "Having lived in the valley for over sixty years, its great versatility and wondrous beauty has ever been a source of inspiration."

Gallery reception and presentation by the artist, Thursday November 17, 6 - 8 p.m., Room 209, Jeannette Powell Art Center. The public is invited to this free event.

Schnake's traveling project Pompeii 2079, Relics and Possibility stages a hypothetical interactive experience looking backward and forward from the year 2079. In this exhibition, fragments of a 21st century carbonized world are cast in cement. Using the ancient city of Pompeii and cement as metaphors for seeing and thinking about our world, Schnake uses cement, first made with lime and volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius during the Roman empire (the "fixative" that froze the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy in 79 AD) to examine the terrain between science and art: "what does a carbonized globe mean in both geophysical and poetic terms? Schnake uses cement's historical significance to explore our current global and ecological challenges. Pompeii's citizens anticipated the volcano's eruption but did not understand its devastating power or the consequences. Pompeii 2079 asks the visitor how we might consider our current dilemma with a carbon intensive environment against the span of history and how we might reimagine our future around resource conservation and social cooperation.
