bull West Gallery:
Ala Ebtekar
Emergence
Ala Ebtekar's work draws from historical, mythological, and
contemporary events and characters related to his Iranian background,
and to his coming up in the early hip-hop era in the San Francisco
Bay Area. Included in this installation is a series of site-specific
paintings and sculptures which draw on and transform the existing
architecture of the gallery. Ebtekar will be opening a concurrent
show of new drawings at Gallery Paule Anglim on February 2, 2006.

bull South Gallery:
Caleb Duarte
Gordo
Caleb Duarte explores the ideas of shelter within the 'first' and
'third' worlds and the basic necessities needed to keep the body
functional. A sadness informed by the realities of globalization,
militarization, materialism, and the vast divide between those who
have and those who have not informs the work. Included in this
installation are paintings and site-specific sculptures.
