New exhibition at Alphonse Berber tonight
A new exhibition opens at Cam and Jess' gallery, Alphsone Berber, tonight.
"You, Me, and Everyone We Know" brings into dialogue nineteen contemporary artists from as close as Berkeley to as far away as the country of Georgia. This international selection of work in a variety of mediums explores the motif of relationship: the artist's relationship to herself, her subject, the viewer, the medium; the viewer's relationship to each of these things and to other viewers; and how all of them coexist in a web of evermore enmeshed social, ecological, and technological networks.
All the artists in "You, Me, and Everyone We Know" feature a similar blurring of artist, subject, medium, and audience. The show's sense of breathless dynamism comes from the sheer strength and daring of the work, but also from this collision and recombination of disparate elements, enacting the dizzying movement of contemporary society in order for us to better understand it.
"You, Me, and Everyone We Know" will be on display from April 17 through June 6. The opening reception is free and open to the public, and will be held April 17 from 6 to 10 PM. For more information, call 510-649-9492.

Studio One gets legal
Hi!
The reading series (that's us) at Studio One was told we needed to purchase a booze permit. Without this permit, we would not be able to partake in libations while listening to pomes and jams. The permit was $100, which pretty much bankrupts the series. If you would like to donate monies to us to help out with the permit punch and purchase of these libations, we will happily accept!
Now you can rest, knowing that you are in a legal state when you partake in permitted wine and donate toward its purchase!
Also, don't miss tomorrow night's reading with Stephanie Young, music from Meklit Hadero & K. Silem Mohammad.
