Says RWM about Kevin Cooley's multi-screen video, "Fascinating assemblage of moving pictures will have you wondering where they are looking. You might imagine yourself on the surface of Mars observing the surface through visual perspectives that are not usually available to our eyes. All sorts of new venues to explore in the great wide Universe out there, this time in neon. The colors are startling in this intense imagistic experience. You might recall all those amazing visuals of strange new worlds in science fiction movies. Great to take this journey to the beyond. Even a brief visit will leave you numb."

RWM observes, "Ornate drawings from Eiko Borcherding evoke the past when other styles and mediums were more popular than they are now. The images taken from Nature are beautiful and evocative. Nice to get pulled into this other world of country houses, tree side nests and creatures of the outdoor world. The effect leaves one wondering what year it is." Pencil drawings on found paper by Eiko Borcherding.

c2c Project Space : Project #7
Artists: Glen Goldberg, Todd Knopke, Katie Bell, Stephanie Rohlfs, Lauren DiCioccio, Imin Yeh, Stephanie Robison, Doreen McCarthy.
Tara de la Garza comments, "This bicoastal exhibition space (hence c2c - coast to coast) pairs New York artists with San Francisco area artists. The current exhibition is curated by NYC curator Christopher Joy and Cléa Massiani of SF, the loose theme of "domesticity" is influenced by the exhibition space's alternative existence as the part time residence of artist and c2c director Kirk Stoller." Pictured - inflatable bathroom sculpture by Doreen McCarthy.
Elongated art by Katie Bell.
