It’s My World

A group exhibition
Eli Ridgway Gallery, San Francisco · July 24 – August 28, 2010

Eli Ridgway Gallery is delighted to present It’s My World, a group exhibition featuring artists responding to ever-changing landscapes and the individuality of every environment — whether natural, man-made, or a conflux of the two. Placing a strong emphasis on the use of unexpected materials, abstracted forms, and the examination of time, It’s My World is an exhibition of painting, drawing, video, and sculpture. In contrast to the cyclic nature of ecosystems, a landscape is evolutionary: a history of continuous alterations.

From geological forces giving rise to land formations to human mediation and biological invasions, instruments are constantly at work altering landscapes on minute and sublime scales. This exhibition focuses on artists examining these issues as well as their own subjective stance, challenging the viewer to reconcile another unique world view or cosmology not their own.

With castaneda/reiman, Benjamin King, Michael Krueger, Sean McFarland, Claire Sherman, Tracey Snelling, Becky Suss, Christopher Taggart, David Wilson, and Claude Zervas.
