TEACH ART
February 6 - May 18, 2024
Is teaching art? Artist Stephen Kaltenbach thinks so. Teach Art explores the role of pedagogy within an artist’s conceptual art practice. Re-presenting the anonymous room installation, The Window, which premiered at the Else Gallery in 1981, along with a selection of paintings, drawings, sculptures and archive materials, the exhibition highlights “teaching moments” from Kaltenbach’s 30-year career at Sacramento State.
- Spring Break Hours: The Library Gallery will be open by appointment March 19-23, 2024.
SHE LAUGHS BACK
Feminist Wit in 1970s Bay Area Art
February 6 - April 13, 2024
She Laughs Back is serious fun. Showcasing nearly a hundred narrative artworks by nineteen women artists, the exhibition provokes laughter, smiles, and raised eyebrows. However, this art was not made for fun alone. Working in the politicized 1970s Bay Area region, the artists in She Laughs Back deployed humor subversively to advance women’s personal and political liberation.
Curated by Elaine O'Brien.
