JULIE PARTANSKY
Remembrance & Retrospective

June 2 - July 5, 2009; Reception: June 12, 6-9 PM

A number of Julie Partansky's friends have come together to celebrate not only her life, but also her insightful works of art. As a former mayor of Davis, Julie left her mark on environmental issues with grace and dignity. This collection represents a 30-year span of drawings, sculpture, and writing. Sponsored by Bill and Carolyn Kopper.


UC Davis MFA FIRST YEAR STUDENT EXHIBIT
June 9– July 5, 2009, Reception: June 12, 7-9 PM

The Pence Gallery will again display the cutting edge art of first year graduate students from UC Davis’ Master of Fine Arts program. The exhibit includes photographic works by Aleksander Bohnak, Jingjing Gong and Christopher Woodcock. Whereas Jingjing Gong is interested in drawing attention to the drastic change being experienced by Chinese families, and stages actors in the real environments of China’s abandoned apartment complexes, Aleksander Bohnak uses photography as the final product in his work. Aleksander first builds an installation including sculpture, creates a performance, and finally documents it via photography. Woodcock’s photographs are captured using large format cameras, to create fabricated liminal spaces of natural and architectural environments.

Whereas, on a three-dimensional plane, sculpture by Traci Horgen and Linda Miller questions basic human nature, and the correlation of emotions with chemical reactions within the human body. In contrast, Robert Machoian’s print work explores the individual’s relationship to objects, other people and the effect of these interactions. Also, mixed media drawings by Joshua Pelletier take a deep look inside the human psyche and express irrationality, fear, love and humor. Johanna Barron’s installation focuses on material culture, illusions of space, and boundaries. And lastly, Hyung-Mo Chu’s installation works explore distant places, whether they are real or imagined.
