Don’t Tango in Berlin: Street Photography and Cutouts

Street Art in Berlin takes on a different dimension when portrayed by French-born artists Janine Free and Guy Mayenobe.  They tell their stories with opposite but complimentary styles in this new exhibit at Gallery 21 in the Spanish Village Art Center located in San Diego Balboa Park, between the Natural History Museum and the Zoo.

On view daily Sept. 21 to Oct. 3 from 11:00 to 4:00.

Come meet the artists at a free reception on Saturday Sept. 24 from noon to 4:00.

Don't tango in Berlin

Janine Free and Guy Mayenobe don't tango in Berlin

You do not tango in Berlin or you would never leave the city and its vibrant art scene.  Guy’s digital cutouts of Poster Art eliminate the context to create its own artform, and Janine’s photographic investigation sets the environment where Graffiti Art lives.  This show dispels the negative perception of an art born in the streets for all to see.

 

Point of View show

The Point of View exhibit is on view until Monday September 19th at Gallery 21 located in the Spanish Village Art Center between the Natural History Museum and the Zoo in Balboa Park.  37 artists studios are open to the public 11am - 4pm every day.  These quaint buildings and courtyards were built in 1935 to depict a charming old village in Spain for the second California Pacific International Exposition.

Gallery 21 has rotating shows of juried artists every two weeks.  I am sharing the space with 4 other photographers: Dana Levine, John Valois, Jeff Brosbe, and Judi Works.

Point of View 2011

Come spend this Saturday or Sunday in Balboa Park.  There is a good exhibit of portraits at the Museum of Photographic Arts  called Face to Face: Works from the Bank of America Collection.

At the San Diego Museum of Art, you can view an exceptional collection of great Spanish masters from El Greco to Dali.

While you are there, stop at Gallery 21 and see the Point of View Show.

My first blog post

I am about to embark on a journey to find mannequins in old Western Europe, my roots.  I am new to blogging but I feel that it will very nicely anchor my thoughts and discoveries in this photography venture.  I invite you to visit my website
A few days ago, I helped hang Insight on Metal a show with 20 digital artists printing exclusively on metal.

Joe Nalven and I are putting up posters from our 2 sponsors, Magnachrome on the right, using a dye sublimation process on aluminum, and Pixel 2 on the left, using a transfer technique on brushed aluminum.
Come see the show at Calumet in Escondido.
