Maria Elvia de Hank
Opening Reception on Thursday, April 16th at 7 pm
Exhibition runs April 16 through May 11, 2009
NAME Galeria, Blvd. Las Americas #5636-B, Fraccionamiento Lomas de Agua Caliente, Tijuana, BC, Mexico 22024
Negotiation is a social strategy that we all practice every day. It implies two awkward poles, as well as the expectations about what we will get in return for what we offer. Over the past five years Yvonne Venegas has concerted along Ms. Maria Elvia Hank, an intermittent portrait of a fundamental power: the carrying out of identity. The resulting photographic series depicts a representation not so easy to define. The discourse of space as a reflection of the subject is inadequate when in part, it is the eyes of many constructing that identity. Among other subtleties, what Venegas offers is a fragmented picture of a famed axis. She insists on giving body to the aura of privilege. The rest is all in our expectations.
Yvonne Venegas graduated from the International Center of Photography in New York and earned a Master's Degree In Visual Arts at the University of California San Diego. She has exhibited her work individually and collectively in the US, Mexico, Spain, France, Canada, Japan, Poland, and Russia. Individually, she has exhibited her work at Diaz Contemporary Gallery in Toronto, Casa de America in Madrid, and Musee de Beaux Arts in Orleans, France. Venegas' work is part of the Fundacion Televisa collection as well as the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, among others. She currently lives and works in the border of Tijuana and San Diego.

H&H Building, 405 W. Franklin Street, Baltimore, MD 21201
“Comprised of Jim Fetterley and Rich Bott, Animal Charm’s tapes are mind-bendingly inventive experiments in uncanny, surreal montage that defy logical analysis. [Their work] is a tour de force of incongruous juxtapositions, startling dislocations and ingenious visual rhymes assembled from the banal detritus of late night TV.” –Gavin Smith, 1998 New York Video Festival

Celebrating Every Body is a collection of work by innovative UCSD Master of Fine Arts students and an intriguing local artist that provides the viewer with a variety of perspectives regarding human beauty, body preoccupation and body image. This exhibition invites the viewer to examine their concept of beauty and to wrestle with our culture’s narrow and largely unattainable ideals. Then, perhaps, the viewer can redefine beauty and find a way to celebrate every body, including their own.
When we take stock of those we love and find truly beautiful in our eyes, we easily cherish people of varied shapes, sizes, races and ages. Similarly, through the ages, art has depicted the beauty of the human form in countless ways. However when we consider our beauty and body, we rarely see ourselves as beautiful. We compare ourselves with the culture’s ideals of a young, thin body for women and a muscular and lean body for males and fail to match the ideal. As a result many feel anxiety, sadness and shame and have a lowered self-esteem.

The Fucking Train Wreck
Coordinated and (anti) Curated by Louis Schmidt
Exhibition runs February 25 through March 6, 2009
Reception on Friday February 27th, 6-9pm
UC San Diego, Visual Arts Facility Gallery, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
An exhibition providing the opportunity to view the artistic yield of the entirety of UCSD’s MFA students’ work within one space, engaged in what will inevitably result in raucous, amiable, and thought-provoking conversation.
The concept of the show, by curatorial and conceptual mastermind Louis Schmidt is to present all MFA work in one space, at one time. It's an exhibition experiment, certainly, but there's room for so many unforeseeable possibilities, conversations, collisions, divergences, etc. The Marcuse will feel absolutely riddled with convergent and divergent connections.
The strategy is a bit of an anti-strategy, based upon the idea that the show be UNCURATED. Though there are several big paradoxes inherent within that notion and while trying to figure out how to preserve the integrity of "uncurating" as a gesture or strategy, picture: drawings, photos, film/video projections, paintings, sketches, loose notes, journals, sketchbooks, performances all "close-talking", all getting in each other's space... Maybe "anti-curator" would be a better articulation, in parallel with anti-memorials//counter-monuments. However the show's potential both as a formal, (anti) curatorial experiment and as a simple chance to see some kind of totality.
The VAF Gallery is open Monday through Friday, noon to 5:00pm.
