ICI Associate, Christel Dillbohner is being featured in a new exhibition, “ICE FLOE JOURNALS” at 1821 Gallery & Studios in Fresno from September 4 – October 18, 2014.
“In the last five years, she has been creating a large series of contemplative, abstract, process paintings circling around imaginative, clearly Nordic-looking, landscapes. In these works she is exploring – with the melting glaciers in mind – the balance of process transformation, geological reference and emotional drama. For this group of works she has developed a new painting method with pigments dissolved and strained into an emulsion of water, oil and wax. The liquefied pigments are poured onto the canvases, wooden panels or sheets of absorbent paper. […] She allows the material to oscillate between the principles for randomness and control until she has found what she is looking for.”
Art Hop opening reception, Thursday, September 4th, 5-8pm
Artist Presentation and Discussion, Friday, September 5th, 7pm.

ICI Associate, Martin Gantman is being featured in a new exhibition entitled Los Angeles Contraventions at Galerie Merkel (Baslerstrasse 2, 79639 Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany).
“Contravention to perceived realities is a tried and true Los Angeles staple. It is a city that was founded on alternate metaphors and narratives. In Contraventions, Los Angeles based artists create multi-disciplinary work countering the expected and banal.”
Exhibition: June 15 to July 26, 2014
Reception: Saturday, June 14, 2014, 6 – 9pm

Pam Posey
Ungrounded
at Craig Krull Gallery
March 1 – April 5, 2014
“In the summer of 2012, Posey spent 5 weeks at the Nes Artists Residence in Iceland, and then returned again in March of 2013. It was there that she began the Stone Dislocationproject. In her travels, Pam Posey transports stones, carrying a white quartz rock from a Greek island to a black lava field in Iceland. Her exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery contains the evidence of her geologic displacements in the form paintings and hand-drawn maps. Posey revels in the Zen irony of an act so purposeful, yet so purposeless. […] In addition to displacement and replacement, her small gestures are also about re-contextualization and the wonder created when finding something out of its place.”
Opening Reception: March 1, 2014, 4-6PM
