concurrently with the 2017 Left Coast Annual is the 2016
LCA Awards Exhibition, showcasing the work of Andrea Borsuk
and Victoria May, award recipients chosen in 2016 by juror Lucía
Sanromán, Director of Visual Arts at Yerba Buena Center for the
Arts.
This year's LCA winners
coincidentally happen to be friends. Rather than divide the hallway
of the exhibition space into two halves, the two artists decided
to each take a side of the hallway gallery and create a dialogue
between the installations on their two walls. At the north end of
the gallery, Borsuk drapes strings of tiny figures, seeming to hang
from the clouds, across the horizon of her 30-foot black and white
landscape mural. Across from this dreamy landscape, May creates
round wire pillows of air that extend out from the walls. In the
south half of the gallery, May hangs boxes of found textiles and
other objects that are both hauntingly familiar and perplexing.
On the opposite wall are Borsuk's gestural acrylic landscape paintings
that, on closer inspection, reveal tiny embedded worlds and figures.
This is a truly wonderful back and forth exchange between friends
who love to create poetry and synchronicity with the materials at
hand.
Come to the reception
on April 21 prepared to make some art of your own by participating
in our Community Art Project, titled Pacifica Art. Your
creations will be displayed at Sanchez Art Center during 2017.
The public is also
invited to Sanchez Art Center Open Studios on Mother's Day, May
14, from 11 to 5 pm. There will be a number of artist demonstrations
to show how each artist works or to demonstrate a particular technique
or medium. See the schedule at the end of our Events
Calendar page.
Sanchez Art Center
is located at 1220 Linda Mar Boulevard in Pacifica, about a mile
east of Highway 1. Following opening night, the galleries are open
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 1–5 pm, and by appointment, through
May 21.
