Title: Kumi Yamashita
Description: When viewing Kumi Yamashit'a's ingenious art, we confront our simple notion that solid predicts shadow--that a picket pence will cast a series of parallel lines on the sidewalk; the little girl on the street will have a ghostly twin running beside her. The notion of the truthfulness of shadows is the basis of a story by the ancient Roman historian Pliny the Elder, who wrote of a young woman who traced on a wall the shadow cast by her departing lover's head. The tale, which became popularly known as the "invention of painting," was a common subject of eighteenth-century European art. The creation of silhouettes captivated Europe at the same time and became known in France as "ombremanie"--shadow mania. As in the Roman tale, the sitter's head was lit from the side. The shadow the profile cast onto paper was traced and cut out. Many believed the character of the sitter could be read from this image--that the appearance and personality of the sitter were truly reflected in the shadow silhouette. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Title: Fast Forward: Growing Up in the Shadow of Hollywood
Description: This exhibit features 43 photographs by Lauren Greenfield, documenting the experience of young people growing up in Southern California in the mid 1990s. While the photographs themselves are specific to one unique geographic location, the issues and experiences that are examined could be part of the teen experience anywhere. The youths struggle with the influence of wealth, racial and economic prejudice, drugs, sex and an image-based culture that glorifies youth, beauty and celebrity. Greenfield's photographs of Beverly Hills teens working out with personal trainers are set next to images of East Los Angeles graffiti artists. In all cases, whether recording the rich or poor, the overall impression is that to grow up as a teenager in Los Angeles is to grow up quickly, as both the illusions of Hollywood and the neighborhood peer pressure of the youth culture itself dominate the lives and rituals of the young. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.

Kadonaga eliminates all arbitrary elements from his art, seeking to demonstrate the inherent composition and the qualities of natural materials. His work is distinguished by a direct engagement with the physical properties of materials--wood, bamboo, paper or glass--and a system that makes visible the hidden activity of seemingly static matter. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.

Title: Friese Undine: Machiavelli and the Bottle
Description: Undine is fascinated with propaganda and more overt activities of persuasion: brainwashing, coercion, enticement and threat. In this exhibit, what might Undine's intention be? Proselytism? But for what? And certainly satire. This artist obviously wants us to think about the everyday uses of force, and especially the rhetoric we use to justify our actions to those less powerful than we are. Like every satire from the classical Greek "Satyricon" to Voltaire's "Candide" to "Saturday Night Live," Undine's work attacks society in order to improve it, ironically a hopeful act. Whether we are shocked or we laugh or both, we should not leave this gallery feeling neutral. If giving people easy answers is the function of propaganda, asking people hard questions is the function of art. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Title: Reading Between The Lines: Image and Text by Contemporary African American Artists
Description: "Reading Between The Lines: Image and Text by Contemporary African American Artists" brings the visual image and the written word together in art works of great directness and elegance by four of today's most progressive artists. For them, the incorporation of text and image is a natural result of deeply introspective and intellectual approaches to their lives and communities. Each artist utilizes these distinctive elements to fulfill her natural role as visual artist, story teller, educator, historian and cultural healer. Each artists has looked deep within herself and her community, and has turned a critical eye toward history, social norms, contemporary race relations, political events, figures and promises. The artists explore a wide range of issues including relationships, family, community, gender roles, AIDS and global politics. Interwoven throughout their work are also issues more clearly defined by American race relations including slavery, the Civil Rights Movement, past and present stereotypes, media representation, ethnic identity and contemporary race relations. These exceptional artists explore diver and vital issues with wisdom of a teacher, the craft of a story teller, the frankness of a journalist, the understanding of a sociologist and the anger of a protester. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.
