Partners Gallery is featuring mixed media paintings by Mina Cohen in June with a series entitled Palimpsest. Palimpsest means something reused or altered but bearing visible traces of its earlier form. This work comes out of desire to revise older works, most of which are very large and break them down into smaller units. Mina has reworked the individual pieces into new works that are unique smaller works.
The work is based on a very large encaustic painting from the late 1970’s, a time that encaustic painting, an ancient painting technique, was having its revival. The underlying original media and color comes through in the new work in a subtle way. Mina’s current interest in texture and pattern gives these new works a three dimensional quality.
The show opens June 12 and continues through July 7.There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artists June 14, 5-7pm.Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday 11-5pm.
It’s going to be a hoppy summer thanks to the Kelley House Museum’s new exhibit on Mendocino’s beer brewing heritage. On Tap traces the deep roots and rich stories behind one of Northern California’s most spirited industries—from the small breweries that served the local lumber workers to the craft beer renaissance that put Mendocino on the national brewing map. Kelley House members are invited to an opening reception on Saturday, June 7th, 4:00pm – 5:30pm.
The exhibit showcases the evidence left behind by the 19th century breweries through archival photographs, newspaper clippings, and maps, while spotlighting the people—German immigrants, local entrepreneurs, and counterculture trailblazers—who turned hops and barley into a beverage that has sustained the community for almost two centuries. Well, except for those Prohibition years, but even then the beer makers and consumers could not be thwarted! (You’ll have to visit the exhibit to discover what a “blind pig” was.) Learn how the region’s natural abundance, independent spirit, and love of experimentation gave rise to groundbreaking breweries like the North Coast Brewing Company, one of the pioneer craft beer makers in the United States. Guest Curator: Robert Dominy.
