See wire work at the Oakland Museum's 555 Gallery...
...by watching this slideshow or, better yet, going in person!
Today I visited the space with Sabine and Donna Seager and it was very foggy and grey out. But as time passed, the sun peaked out from the thick layer of clouds and, in a flash, the sculptures were illuminated and awake! The shadows, like drawn lines, introduce temporary marks onto the varied surfaces and architecture of the space and, with the addition of the direct light from the sun, the sculptures come to life as they shine and shimmer.
The curator of the show, Carin Adams, describes the show this way:
"Artist Emily Payne creates site-specific installations, sculpture, and works on paper based on delicate wire forms and the shadows they cast. She transforms materials by deconstructing them from multiple angles beyond their utilitarian function.The repetition of circular shapes clustered together, hovering in the air, and resting on the ground create shadows that expand their physical boundaries. In this way, the ephemeral qualities of the forms occupying space are as important as the forms themselves."

This exhibition is located at 555 12th Street in Oakland. Curated by the Oakland Museum of California's Professional Services Division.

I just finished installing "Hover" at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery and its all a bit exciting! This Friday is the opening, from 5:30-7:30.
The latest news is that the gallery has decided to also have a CLOSING RECEPTION on Saturday, October 3, 3:30-5:30. As many of you know, the Bay Bridge will be closed over the Labor Day weekend so it will be a little harder to get into the city this Friday. If you can't make it, come celebrate with me at the closing reception.
But, for those of you intrepid travelers who want to come to the opening on Friday, here are links to BART and to the Alameda-Oakland Ferry (which lets you off at Pier 41). Don't forget to check return times as well!
I hope to see you at one, or both (??) of the receptions!
All my best,
Emily
