    Carte de California: Contested Terrain

    Carte de California: Contested Terrain, an exhibition opening February, 9, 2013, at the Cal Poly Pomona W. Keith & Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery co-curated by Chaffey's Denise Johnson, Adjunct Faculty in Art History and Photo History, and Rebecca Trawick, Director of the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art.

    Carte de California: Contested Terrain
    Enid Baxter Blader, Jeff Cain, Julie Shafer, and Dee Williams
    Curated by Denise Johnson + Rebecca Trawick
    February 9 – March 23, 2013
    Artists reception: February 9, 630-930pm

    Carte de California: Contested Terrain features artists who explore California's landscapes, which were surveyed and plundered concurrent with the development of photography and the rise of popular image reproduction techniques like the carte-de-visite and stereo-card. Works in the exhibition will consider mapped spaces as divisional device and means of establishing the Other while questioning the arbitrary nature of boundaries that attempt to declare normal vs. marginal, mine vs. yours, the empowered vs. the exploited, and what is valued or abandoned. Carte de California: Contested Terrain will ask viewers to consider the contemporary implications of Manifest Destiny policies and capitalist practices as they mark the western landscape a contested terrain.

The New World is an exhibition that considers changing social, political and economic relations in the world from the perspective of Southern California-trained artists.

    The New World features artists who attended art school in Southern California, but whose outlook, explicitly or implicitly, engages with the changing world as emerging markets grow in economic and cultural prominence. Their work explores the conflicting feelings of fear and optimism elicited by a globalized world and art market, as well as the excitement, fascination, experimentation, uncertainty and displacement that accompanies change.

    The New World will include work by: Isabel Avila, Chris Barnard, Cathy Breslaw, Hugo Crosthwaite, Asad Faulwell, Chuck Feesago, Galeria Perdida, Kaguya, Bianca Kolonusz-Partee, Elleni Sclavenitis, and Joe Suzuki.

    When I’m Sixty-Four

    Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art are pleased to present When I’m Sixty-Four, September 10 – November 21, 2012. The artists’ reception will be September 11 from 6-8pm with light refreshments and entertainment.

    When I’m Sixty Four explores the lives of our country’s plus 50 population. In California alone it is projected that the population over the age of 65 will rise to 6.5 million in the first two decades of the new millennium. All aspects of life will be impacted from politics, public services, the economy, family structures, and healthcare. As our population ages we have to ask ourselves the role this group will play in our culture and whether or not our perception, acceptance and politics will mature along with them. The contemporary artists in When I’m Sixty Four use diverse approaches to explore the realities of the lives of our elderly, often through extremely private investigations into their own aging or the lives of their loved ones. Their work will pose questions about our concepts of aging, and what we can all do to access our older and wiser community members. The Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art and the Chaffey College Gerontology Program, part of the School of Health Sciences at Chaffey College, are presenting an in-depth schedule of public programs, lectures, film screenings, an all-ages community art festival, and special performances featuring the amazing seniors in our communities. Artists include Troy Aossey (AZ), Jeanne C. Finley (CA), Gina Genis (CA), Jessica Ingram (CA), Nancy Macko (CA), Peter Riesett (NY), Shari Wasson (CA), and Martha Wilson (NY).

    Please visit us online for a complete schedule of events related to When I’m Sixty Four at www.chaffey.edu/wignall. Exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.
