Site specific installation at DOSA, Los Angeles
March 2009
Trees Inside Out, an installation of new paintings by Judith Belzer, opens on Sunday, March 15th with a reception from 1- 4 p.m. at dosa818 in downtown Los Angeles. Located on the top floor of the Wurlitzer building, dosa818 is an evolving, collaborative space curated by Christina Kim, Jennifer Cheh and visiting artists to exhibit artwork with dosa’s handmade textiles and clothing. Inspired by Judith’s paintings and her observations of nature painted entirely from memory, Christina offered Belzer the opportunity to make a site specific body of work. The result is Judith Belzer’s dynamic exploration of the inner life of trees. This new series of paintings presents a multiplicity of textures, patterns and perspectives housed inside two distinct tree structures. Constructed of plywood, the surface of the tree like structures are inlaid with paintings that simulate the texture of bark. A stump like structure contains larger scale paintings in which the striations and rings of a tree’s heartwood become abstract. The taller structure contains twenty-four smaller paintings, magnifying the undulant wood grain, revealing knots and splinters in detail. Both engage the viewer experientially - offering exterior and interior space for the viewer to investigate, to move up close to the paintings while simulating the imaginary act of climbing into a tree. With Trees Inside Out, Judith Belzer brings nature into the urban environment, inviting the viewer to consider nature, not as a remote destination, out there somewhere, but as an ever present force in our daily lives.

Silence, Exile & Cunning
“I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use- silence, exile and cunning.”
—from James Joyce’s, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
This exhibition will bring together nine artists: Enrique Chagoya, Judith Foosaner, Robert Hartman, Miya Hannan, Paul Kos, Patsy Krebs, Brett Reichman, Josephine Taylor, and Larry Thomas. The work of these artists show the kind of commitment to revealing certain aspects of silence, exile, or cunning that require a rare conviction and an intimate knowledge of their subject that can only suggest a sympathetic relation to Joyce’s uncompromising stance.
Curator: Frances McCormack.
Members' Preview: Friday, April 30 • 5:30-7:00pm

Looking Through the Glass
Manifest Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibit of the photography of Tama Hochbaum. An intimate drawing room experience, this exhibit titled “Looking Through the Glass,” will present a series of composite digital prints similar to those first seen in Manifest’s recent exhibit Trick of the Light curated by Dennis Kiel. Works will include moody fragmented views of architecture and landscape often as seen through a window (including the window itself). Hochbaum’s works provide the viewer an opportunity to experience the point of view of the artist in tangible, visible, and formally beautiful ways.

IN FOCUS: PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE MILLS COLLEGE ART MUSEUM
January 20-March 14, 2010
Opening Reception: January 27, 6:00-8:00 pm
Curated by Stephanie Hanor
The Mills College Art Museum has been an important center for photography since the early 1930s, a particularly rich period of photographic development in the Bay Area. The Museum’s collection contains works by many of the preeminent San Francisco-based photographers of the time, such as John Gutmann, Ansel Adams, and in particular, Imogen Cunningham, whose images capture the campus and student life at Mills College.
From vintage prints to contemporary images, the Museum continues to exhibit and collect works that epitomize photographic processes and experimentation. Featuring pieces by approximately 30 artists, In Focus offers a snapshot of the Museum’s unique photographic holdings. Works range from images by pivotal photographers such as Edward Weston and Tina Modotti, to examples by artists better known as painters such as René Magritte and Arthur Wesley Dow, to contemporary artists such as Olafur Eliasson and John Baldessari, where photography is just one element of their multi-faceted artistic practices.
Artists in the exhibition include Bernice Abbott, Ansel Adams, John Baldessari, Erwin Blumenfeld, Wynn Bullock, Paul Cadmus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Barbara Crane, Imogen Cunningham, Jay DeFeo, Arthur Wesley Dow, Olafur Eliasson, John Gutmann, René Magritte, Tina Modotti, Roi Partridge, Wilbur Porterfield, Catherine Opie, Gary Prather, Man Ray, Frederick Sommer, Alec Soth, Joel Sternfeld, Aaron Suskind, Catherine Wagner, Carrie Mae Weems, Edward Weston, Minor White, Catherine Yass, and Nina Zurier.
Nina Zurier's video, Crocodilopolis, made in collaboration with poet/artist Arnold Kemp, is part of the online Marjorie Wood Gallery and was the featured work for April.
http://www.marjoriewoodgallery.com/exhibitions/zurier/crocodilopolis/index.html
Crocodilopolis will also be shown on May 9 as part of the Cohen Alley/Tenderloin National Forest opening celebration, a Luggage Store project (San Francisco).

In late March, Zurier was the featured artist for Add-Art.org , an online digital project of Steve Lambert for Eyebeam in New York.

Participating in MY CERTAIN FATE at Pharmaka.
My Certain Fate, a group show curated by Timothy Buckwalter, runs May 14 – June 6, 2009 at Pharmaka, 101 West Fifth Street in Los Angeles. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday 12 - 6 pm. Opening reception will be May 14, a part of the Downtown Art Walk. For more information, please call or visit www.pharmaka-art.org.
Zurier's glimpses: With his recent opening of Room for Painting, Room for Paper, San Francisco painter George Lawson became a gallerist and has set about showing the work of friends and others he admires.
In the gallery's second pair of shows, which ends today, Joseph Hughes' color-thatched abstract paintings make a characteristically authoritative and handsome impression. But most of the surprise comes in the way that photographer Nina Zurier fills the Room for Paper.
Everything functions here: the changing sizes and shapes of the pictures, their shifting eye line and staccato grouping, and their ever-varying sense of purpose and content.
Some, such as "Costa Brava" (2004) and "Wainscott 7" (2002/05), appear abstract. Others, such as "Vamlingbo 218" (2007), a shot of an enameled gray chair with an unusual trefoil back, made to look like a stolen glance by hazy focus, have the intrigue of carefully chosen cinema stills.
"Visby 521" (2007) - a scattering of broken and rotting pears on gray pavement - suggests notation of a bit of reality that seemed to present itself as a "readymade" formalist exercise.
Throughout, Zurier's photographs muse on the relations between pictures of reality and the reality of pictures, with aesthetic intensity as a connecting thread.
