Exhibit: Nemo Gould, Jeremy Mayer, Benjamin Cowden

MACHINATIONS is an exhibit currently featuring the works of Nemo Gould, Jeremy Mayer, and Benjamin Cowden.

From the exhibit description:

The exhibition showcases the distinctive elements of re-use transformational sculpture while exploring human interaction and objectification. Keeping in line with the gallery's focus on local and emerging talent, all three artists boast Bay Area roots, but display marked differences in their interpretation of the kinetic medium.

The exhibition's title "Machinations", is a reference to the shifting and subjective definition of what constitutes art. A variety of kinetic based art will be on display—ranging from whimsical creatures and life size sculptures crafted from twisted metal bits to interactive machines.

The exhibit runs from July 14 - August 21, 2010. The artists reception will Thursday, July from 6-9pm.
