Qualia Contemporary Art presents: Guillermo Galindo "Transonic" and Gregory Rick "Collision"
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Qualia Contemporary Art is pleased to announce two new exhibitions this month, on view from July 23 through September 02 2022, with an opening event on July 23 from 4:30 to 7:00 PM. "Transonic" is a solo exhibition of works by Bay Area composer and artist Guillermo Galindo featuring a selection of the artist's cybertotemic sonic objects presented in dialogue with his graphic scores, collage works, and a new body of original works on paper. Galindo's work engages with the practice of sonic healing, rooted in his post-Mexican heritage and his ongoing study of pre-Columbian traditions. Combining his experimental compositions with observations and objects from the Mexican-American borderlands, Galindo brings his multidisciplinary creations to the public at Qualia this summer. Alongside "Transonic", the gallery is pleased to present "Collision", a solo exhibition of mixed media works by Oakland-based artist Gregory Rick. Recently honored as the winner of SFMoMA's 2022 SECA Award and as a winner of the San Francisco Bay Area Artadia Award for 2022, Rick employs techniques from printmaking, papermaking, painting, and drawing, to construct his own genre of "History Painting", focusing on "the obscure, the forgotten", and "common knowledge", alike. Rick found reading as an escape from a tumultuous childhood, and discovered drawing as a means of reclaiming agency. The study of history, in particular, has been vital to Rick's development as an artist, and his well-being as a veteran of the War in Iraq, providing ample sources for his illustrated narratives that weave personal history in among the many threads of political, social, and global history.
