Art is a means of expression that must be understood by everybody, everywhere. - Tamayo
Dear Art Observers, Art Enthusiasts and Art Insiders,
I'm excited to announce that I am working with Sin Título Gallery in Union Square, San Francisco to produce the 2nd ever seasonal Art Talks event!
The topic of this second talk will focus on the issues, process and techniques behind Latin American art. We will explore these issues via Ernesto's current exhibit, "Mainly Mexican", as well as Artist Gary Goldberg's photographs and felt tapestries series "Finding the Universe in Oaxaca".
You all will get to learn a lot about art, the background, process and techniques involved. Gary will also be bringing some items that inspire him to show and to share!
The whole program is scheduled for about 2 hours, but the talk itself will be about 45 minutes. So get your questions ready!
There will be music, complimentary bites and drinks available while you guys catch up, introduce yourselves to each other and do what you guys do best - love and be enthusiastic about the arts!
Sincerely,
Saliem & The Art Talks Team

SPEAKER DETAILS
We are excited to present to you a chat with
Ernesto Quintanilla of Sin Título Gallery
Our Host and Curator
Ernesto Quintanilla is the founder and owner of Sin Título Gallery. Ernesto is a Stanford Engineer (MS 96) and has been a San Francisco resident for 25 years. His passion is collecting art and giving young, talented Latino and Latin American artists a platform to showcase their art in the U.S. and globally.
Ernesto and his partner Seth Skolnick co-founded Sin Titulo Gallery in 2019. The ongoing Mainly Mexican exhibition in San Francisco is a partnership among Sin Titulo Gallery, Michael McKechnie (who's an art collector and a friend of Ernesto and Seth's) and a few Mexico and US-based galleries that represent Latin American artists.
Diego Armando Plascenia Vega, Moderator,
Artist and Engineer
Diego is an Artist and Engineer with diverse interests in multiple fields. His technical interests include feedback controls, autonomous systems, and robotics. Themes in his artwork comprise of the immigrant experience, the nature of representation in video media, as well as the built environment.
Diego received his Bachelors of Fine Arts and Bachelors of Science in 2013 from Cornell University. He also holds a Masters Degree of Engineering, also from Cornell.
Gary Goldberg, Artist, Photographer
and Professor Emeritus of the Arts
Gary Goldberg, Professor Emeritus of Art at Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, Texas recently retired from teaching after 37 years. He has been photographing the unique qualities of Oaxaca City, Mexico for over twenty years. In his most recent body of work, he has come to see Oaxaca - its land, its sky, its cosmos - through its textured and richly layered walls and facades.
This body of photographic work is imbued with references to landscape, twentieth century art history, meditative states, and Mexican mythologies. The formal qualities are basic: one shape on a color ground, two colors at their intersections, scale, and land-sky relationships. As he interprets Oaxaca, Goldberg is inspired by the color field painters while remaining true to his vision of Oaxaca by highlighting the city's ancient patina and depth. Goldberg's photographs ask the viewer to decipher the image: what am I looking at, what is the scale?
Many of Goldberg's photographs have been transformed into textiles using a dry felting process at Taller de Afelpado, San Agustín Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico. Each textile is hand made by a team of three artisans, often taking up to three weeks to complete. The wool used is dyed with natural pigments such as cochineal and indigo.
Goldberg received an MFA from the University of Nebraska in 1979. He has been the recipient of an Emerging Artist Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Goldberg's photographs have been included in over one hundred exhibitions and publications throughout his career. Public collections in which Goldberg's photographs appear include the Victoria & Albert Museum; the Photography Collection in the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin; Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.; The Wittliff Collections, Alkek Library, Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas; Sheldon Museum of Art, Lincoln, Nebraska; and the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Gary recently moved back to his home state and is living and working in Berkeley, California.
