Opening reception Thur, May 10, 7-9pm, exhibition May 10 - July 12, 2018
Creativity Explored, San Francisco's premier nonprofit visual art gallery and studio for artists with developmental disabilities, presents Mind Place, a new exhibition exploring the psychology of place. From depictions of Ferris wheels that evoke memories of a different time, landscapes representing the African country Namibia, to psychedelic abstractions of subjects that inhabit another space entirely, the exhibition leads the viewer on a journey to ethereal environments that are physical yet within the mind. The exhibition includes selected works by Ian Adams, Jay Herndon, Camille Holvoet, Laron Bickerstaff, Kathy Wen, and Marilyn Wong.
Evoking both physical and imaginary worlds, the multimedia artwork in this exhibition offer the viewer diverse perspectives into the production of a visual space that is both interior and exterior. The six exhibiting artists provide a particular sensitivity to place, by shedding light on the permeability of memory and experience, viewer and subject.
Emotional, provocative, and inviting narrative, the artwork included challenges traditional viewership by expanding visual depictions of a place or space into the subjective territory of a "mindscape." This exhibition was conceptualized over the last two years by Visual Arts Instructor Leeza Doreian.
For the past 35 years, Creativity Explored has given artists with developmental disabilities the means to create and share their work with the community, celebrating the power of to change lives. Located in the vibrant cultural and dining corridor that transverses San Francisco's Mission District, Creativity Explored provides a supportive studio environment, including individualized instruction from mentoring artists, quality supplies, and professional opportunities to exhibit and sell their art. The organization establishes these artists' work as an emerging and increasingly important contribution to the contemporary art world.
