Exhibit Probes The Placement Of Things
LA MESA -- Adding to the pulse of the growing La Mesa art scene are
the smart, quarterly shows being curated by Midge Hyde at the Biz Center
Art Gallery. An outpost of progress on an unassuming stretch of La
Mesa's El Cajon Boulevard, Hyde's gallery will host a reception this
Saturday evening to celebrate the opening of "Configuration."The show, which is presented in the public spaces of a shared business center, will include the work of local professional artists mixed in with the surprising work of students.
The work of science and art Students from the Julian Charter School will be part of "Configuration," featuring the work they produced in response to "Wonder" by R.J. Palacio.
"Students were prompted to write down their current values and then
also write goals for their future; next they translated this
introspection into metaphors and used the metaphors in their art work,''
said JCS teacher Richard Rogalski. "They were allowed to use any media
they liked and the results are fantastic!''
Among the local artists whose work won a place in the show are:
