The idea of doing a retrospective of Ed Lau's Space Gallery had been in its formative stages for the last couple of years. Some rough ideas for the exhibition had been worked out with Ed prior to his death in April of 2008. While not originally intended as a tribute to Ed Lau, since his death the exhibition has assumed that dimension. I (curator Patrick Merrill) always felt that there was a specific aesthetic to the work exhibited over the years at Space. Of course this had everything to do with Ed. Whether the work was abstract or based on narrative there seemed to me many shared qualities – for example, sensitivity to material, subtle psychological tension and a high respect for craft. Ed seemed to seek out artists who themselves were searching for essentials. Ed once told me that the relationship between an artist and his/her gallerist was similar to that of a marriage. He would say he was in it for the long haul – good times and bad. As a result he didn’t choose artists on a whim or who might be in fashion but by watching them over time, seeing their development and above all, their commitment to their art. Commitment to his artists was very important to Ed. It was probably one of the major reasons he developed such a high-caliber group of artists.
This exhibit is not intended to be some sort of history of Space Gallery. It is to be about the Space Gallery’s artists. This exhibition is not so much about what the artists were doing then, but rather what everyone is doing now, how they have evolved.

The primary purpose of this exhibit is to introduce the art of quilt making to a new generation of artists, college students and quilt makers.
Roberta Eisenberg (1940 - 2006) Retrospective
Exhibition Dates: January 11 thru February 21 2009. Reception Sunday January 11, 2008
Musical concert at reception (Jazz) also showing film of her American Psychological Society lecture. Fundraiser concert (The Emerson Quartet) February 2, 2009 7PM. Admission by ticket. Sales information not yet available.
Roberta Eisenberg’s paintings reference landscape but an interior one using 'Nature' as a metaphoric language. While guided in part by intuition/instinct the finished paintings are due more to a determined critical thinking and a skillful control of her medium. In the words of the late critic Michael Laurence, there is a, “gestural tension of line and its calligraphic emotional charge, a quality of never describing but making reference toward essences...” he saw “a connection with an animism, a force within organic matter,” as coming close to stating her actual subject matter. Eisenberg doesn’t believe in animism but she does advocate for a increased awareness of the intimate link between humanity and nature. She speaks of a subtle sense of the spiritual, a feeling for the life force in all inanimate objects whether its water, rocks or weather.

The
W. Keith and Janet Kellogg University Art Gallery presents exhibitions
in the visual arts of significance to three specific communities:
the Cal Poly Pomona University campus community; the local communities
surrounding Pomona, and the greater Los Angeles area art communities.
The purpose of our program is to bring to the campus and to the
community carefully developed art exhibits that instruct, inspire
and challenge the viewer.
Most of the gallery's exhibitions focus on the evolving issues
of contemporary art as practiced in Southern California. Special
exhibitions bring attention to important national artists and
issues of art historical/critical interest spanning ideological
and cultural boundaries. Like any good gallery the W. Keith and
Janet Kellogg Art gallery has presented work that has challenged
the notion of what is art as well as presenting objects of stunning
visual beauty.
Art is a site for dialogue. We extend an open invitation to the
public and the campus community to the opening receptions.* Our
opening receptions are fun, with food, beverages and often entertainment.
They are a chance to meet and talk with artists, to share ideas
perhaps to argue, to be profoundly moved by an art object or to
experience the pleasure of its beauty.
The gallery is not just for students attending classes here but
for the entire community. Exhibitions have included artwork that
touches the lives of people today as well as themes of historical
or ethnographic interest. It is the goal of the gallery to continue
to bring high caliber art that is beautiful and challenging and
that speaks to the many cultural interests of both the university
and the greater community surrounding the campus. Located in front
of the Associated Student Union, across from the library, the
gallery is physically located at a nexus point of university life.
The gallery showcases the work of our most talented students in
exhibitions every May and June.
The Kellogg Gallery is made up of three separate interior galleries
connected by a spacious central corridor. The two front spaces
with their high ceilings are 1000 sq. ft. each. The back gallery
is 2000 sq. ft. with an open grid ceiling.
For
more exhibition information please call the gallery at (909) 869-4302.
