Exhibition Statement
The three artists featured in this exhibition explored issues that revolve around personal and/or community problems. Gaines examined systems that rule our lives, juxtaposing prevalent facts such as murders with the mysteries of life, death, fate, and the cosmos, while Normark documented a particular event and its impact on people in his photo-essay on Chavez Ravine. Kim Abeles transformed concepts and ideas into sculpture and installations.
