In Dialogue with Ansel Adams

University of the Pacific

The Reynolds Gallery's juried exhibition, In Dialogue with Ansel Adams, features eleven original masterworks by famed American photographer Ansel Adams, generously loaned to us by his granddaughter, Ms. Alison Jaques. This exhibition was conceived in conjunction with the world premiere of Ansel Adams: America, a new piece for orchestra by Pacific alumnus Dave Brubeck and his son, Chris Brubeck. Over 40 artists submitted work; ten were chosen for the show.

On view in the gallery March 2 through April 10, 2009, ten contemporary photographers with national and international reputations were shown alongside the master. Nan Brown, Jack Davis, Jane Delaney, Ursula Esser, Susan Hartzell, Terry Nathan, Chris Schiller, John Smith, and the team of Byron Wolfe and Mark Klett have all been inspired by Adams, the American landscape, and the tradition of landscape photography.

Some of the work is a direct homage to Adams. Other artists capture and celebrate America's natural beauty, particularly the beauty of the San Joaquin Valley. Still others examine relationships between humankind and nature, and between landscape art and kitsch. The show offers a celebration of the American landscape, but also an examination of the ways it has been compromised.
Mark Bowles: Following the Light

University of the Pacific

Reynolds Gallery is pleased to present Following the Light an exhibition of paintings by Mark Bowles, a native Californian artist whose work reflects his fascination of texture, form and color.

Northern California has inspired a remarkably diverse tradition and distinguished procession of landscape painters that reaches back into the 19th century. This exhibition celebrates Mark Bowles' achievement and dedication to this tradition. Bowles complicates and enriches this tradition by embracing the broad plains of the Central Valley as his preferred subject matter. His large-scale paintings are composed within the investigations and dialectic occurring between contemporary painters, moving freely among the richness of color field and representational painting.

Within these canvases Bowles distills the essence of the light, space and atmosphere, transforming the large open spaces and intricate wetlands of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Region from seemingly irreducible proportions to a knowable and meditative windows overlooking our homeland.

The University extends a special thanks to the Pamela Skinner & Gwenna Howard Contemporary Art Gallery for their participation. Mark Bowles can be contacted through his web site www.markbowles.com.
Singgalot (The Ties that Bind)

University of the Pacific

Singgalot: The Ties That Bind, on view in the Reynolds Gallery November 17 - December 19, 2008 contains images and historical documents to vividly portray the social history and the development of the Filipino community in the United States.

Singgalot initially explores the experience of Filipinos as colonial subjects and nationals, and further examines their struggles to acquire full citizenship as immigrants in the United States throughout the previous century. "The exhibition uses rare photographs and illustrations from the National Archives, the Library of Congress and personal collections to provide a glimpse into the dynamic story, culture and contemporary issues of Filipino Americans," said co-curator Franklin Odo, director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program. Singgalot is a deeply moving, dramatic and evocative narrative of Filipino American history and culture."

Singgalot (the word in the Tagalog language of the Philippines loosely translates to "the ties that bind") was developed by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.

Singgalot: The Ties That Bind, continues on a national tour through 2011 made possible through the generosity of Farmers Insurance.
Caps and Couture: Fashion and the Urban Landscape

University of the Pacific

Caps and Couture: Fashion and the Urban Landscape, is a collaboration between undergraduate students and faculty that brings together the worlds of avant-garde fashion and cutting edge popular art to Pacific's Reynolds Gallery.

Curated by Department of Visual Arts students Madalyn Friedrich and Robin Lee with the assistance of project adviser, Professor Bett Schumacher, this exhibition explores the relationship between couture fashion and its everyday encounter with the urban environment.

Through the interplay of designer fashion and urban street art, this exhibition offers a dialogue, between art forms and how their unique expressions of beauty are defined and influence the understanding of daily life.

Caps and Couture served as inspiration for a full-scale outdoor fashion show event held on campus in the Visual Arts department. The October 18, 2009 event included local and national designers, urban/hip hop dance performance and artists' demonstrations. The show was sponsored by Crossroads Inc., Dillards, Fina, Gottschalks of Modesto, Sparrow, Wish List: A Fashion Lounge, The Darin Jon Studio, and The Safavi Institute of Cosmetology and Esthetics.

The Stockton Record published an article about the student curators and their exhibition, which can be read here.

New Work, New Faculty: Jill Vasileff and Stephen Eakin

University of the Pacific

In this two-person show, installation artist, Pacific alum, and adjunct professor Stephen Eakin and painter and adjunct professor Jill Vasileff revealed their latest work. In works such as Residue (2007), Eakin explores the connections between art, archiving, and death. The lightboxes in this installation contain slides of everything the artist owns. Gallery visitors are invited to select a slide, which Eakin then bequeaths to them in his will. WWW.STEPHENEAKIN.COM

Vasileff is interested in "synthetic" (i.e. manufactured, not found in nature) color that is magnetically beautiful, but also potentially irritating. She works toward manipulating color so that it straddles the lines between beauty and tension and simplicity and chaos. She often uses repetitive visual elements such as the grid and stripe.
