The Main and
West Galleries present the 2010 Bay Area Annual Juried Exhibition,
juried by Betti-Sue Hertz, Director of Visual Arts at Yerba Buena
Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Ms. Hertz selected a total
of 57 artworks by 39 artists, drawing from a pool of 401 entries
by 137 applicants from all over California. The selected works express
a wide range of range of approaches and sensibilities, yet all are
informed by a sense of poetry and deep feeling. The media as well
as approaches and concepts employed vary widely throughout the exhibition,
from ceramics to mixed media and collage, from installations and
photography to drawing and painting in acrylic, oil, and watercolor.
Since
2009 Ms. Hertz has been Director of Visual Arts at the Yerba Buena
Center for the Arts, where she has organized Wallworks
(2009) and Renee Green: Endless Dreams and Time-Based Streams
(2010). From 2000 to 2008 she was curator of contemporary art at
the San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA), where she produced several major
exhibitions and catalogues, including Eleanor Antin: Historical
Takes (2008); Animated Painting (2007); Transmission:
The Art of Matta and Gordon Matta-Clark (2006); Past in
Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia (2004), for which she
received the Emily Hall Tremaine Exhibition Award; and Axis
Mexico: Common Objects and Cosmopolitan Actions (2002). From
2001 to 2008 she organized several editions of Contemporary
Links, a commissioning program where artists including Alexandre
Arrechea, Sandow Birk, Regina Frank, James Hyde, and Shahzia Sikander
responded to works in SDMA’s collection. Before coming to California,
Hertz co-organized (with Lydia Yee) Urban Mythologies: The Bronx
Represented Since the 1960s (1999) for the Bronx Museum of
the Arts and was director of Longwood Arts Project, Bronx, New York,
from 1992 to 1998. Hertz has contributed to many periodicals, including
The Architect’s Newspaper, Art Journal, Animation,
Communication Arts, Flash Art, n.paradoxa,
and Yishu.
