Artistic Director Stuart Horodner leads a tour and discussion of the current exhibitions. He will focus on the artists’ use of materials, and issues of tradition and process.
On view: Jessica Jackson Hutchins: The Important Thing About A Chair, and John Heward: Things
Two exhibitions that combine expressive gestures, sensual materials, and space-altering invention. Works by Jessica Jackson Hutchins bring together glazed ceramic vessels nestled into altered furniture, and mixed media works on paper combining printmaking, collage, and drawing/writing. Hutchins was an acclaimed participant in the 2010 Whitney Biennial. John Heward is one of Canada’s most respected artists, and his formal investigations into the possibilities of painting and sculpture are well known in that country. He is also an internationally known jazz drummer. This is the first major presentation of his work in the United States.

Danille Roney: On the Edge of Self. In collaboration with Jeff Conefry and contributions from Penny Aviles. Roney’s newest multimedia project deftly sets the stage of a poignant moment in time, a choice, “to stay or to leave”. Circumstances are deconstructed through a series of parallel, bifurcating movements in which randomization software plays a key role, allowing a third and final author to participate, beyond the artist’s creation. Roney explores the psychological space “ in between”, where hybrid identity is crystallized and personal and social identities are transformed by multicultural and virtual influences in a real-time world.

Using these as source images for paintings, video and prints, I attempt to challenge the fixed quality that photos seem to attach to identity, and to get at something more ineffable than likenesses. The works present, instead, the ever-shifting nature of identity. We change with every breath. I’m replacing the “proof” presented in photos with a re-imagining, a fiction, the unknown.”

…After The Suburbs
by guest curator Karen Tauches
After all, the suburbs promised to be a neat, new, affordable Eden. It was that in-between station where middle class, industrialized citizens could be part of the city and yet breathe a little easier with the countryside nearby. Now, the spacious suburbs hold a position of great potential for a population needing to reconnect with Nature.

Shapiro’s paintings and watercolors drawn from a range of photographic sources, address stereotypical depictions of women. In this new body of work, Shapiro lovingly reproduces these found photos into images of intense sensuality and eroticism.

TWIN KITTENS presents ICONIDOKU- a series of new works by Susan Krause.  ICONIDOKU is the result of the artist’s impetus to navigate, process, document, and convey the contemporary issues that are the grit of every day life.  As a result, Krause has re-contextualized these concerns by way of the popular game, Sudoku, which the artist herself has “reinvented” for a gallery setting.  Please join us on Saturday, January 8th at 2pm for Susan Krause’s artist talk and Game Day.

TWIN KITTENS is dedicated to promoting the work and lives of contemporary artists from near and afar. We do this by presenting the viewing public with thought-provoking, ambitious, exhibitions unencumbered by the marketplace and introducing the artists through creative programming and community engagements.

As a non-profitting gallery, we seek to empower working artists and enrich the lives of the people believing visual art has this capacity.

We need your help to file our 501c3 tax-exemption with the IRS. This will enable us to write for grants as well as keep all of our contributions tax-deductable.

In the coming year, TWIN KITTENS plans to:
-begin an artist residency, where the artist resides upstairs during his/her exhibit and engages the city through  programming; lectures, tours, dinner parties, discussions, and more.
-host 6 incredible solo exhibits by artists from all over the country. Their work will range in terms of idea, medium and presentation.
-launch sponsorship opportunities for local businesses, organizations, and individuals allowing them to fiscally catalyze the exhibits and residency.

We now stand at an exciting threshold and look for your help. Unique as TK is, we hope you will consider joining us in this endeavor.

Artist talk: Saturday, 20, 12-1pm (Westside Arts 3^rd Saturday Art Walk)

Get This! Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition Emanate Car Show, by Veronica De Jesus. This is Veronica’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The exhibit will consists of  new “car drawings” done in Veronica’s signature style of white artist ink on paper.

Veronica states that “the catalysts for her works are always rooted in the personal; she puts faith in the deep history of reasons”. Veronica spent much of her childhood in cars, moving from place to place. Throughout her childhood, her dad and older brother were constantly on the move. The freedom that cars represented was very important to her and her family.  “No matter how difficult things became, we could always escape—all we needed was a car and the open highway.”

The cars that De Jesus has focused on for this show are very inspiring to her.  They are Impalas, Chevelles and Firebirds from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, drawn from images that she finds online.  Veronica also looks at cars that have been forgotten, but for a brief period had some gust of attention surrounding them.  She explains, “they are cars that personally excite my heart, so beautifully made that when I see them they immediately give my imagination permission to fantasize and to dream.” Veronica’s car show focuses on the balance between earth and technology, and also on the beauty of design, the beauty in patterns, and the beauty and majesty of our imagination.

Veronica De Jesus was born in Cleveland, Ohio and grew up in many American cities.  After attending community colleges in the Sacramento area, she was accepted to the San Francisco Art Institute, where she graduated with honors in 1998.  In 2001, De Jesus was accepted to the Master of Fine Arts program at UC Berkeley.  The Department of Art Practice awarded her the Eisner Award twice, once for each year of the program.  De Jesus was granted a yearlong residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Marin, California. She has had solo and group exhibitions at the Cue Art Foundation in New York, Paper Boat Gallery, Milwaukee, Michael Rosenthal Gallery, San Francisco and Sampson Projects, Boston. Veronica De Jesus currently lives and works in Oakland, California.
