Rising Seas Exhibtion

June 8, 2024

August 24, 2024

The K Gallery in the Rhythmix Culture Works in Alameda is presenting Rising Seas whose theme explores the situation our world is in. There have been many civilizations that have come and gone; it puts forth the question: do we want to be another one of them? The work in this show is the exploration of that question.

Rising Seas features the art of Josie Iselin, Jan Watten, Ed Holmes, Christo Braun, Deb Sullivan, Charlie Sullivan, Jen Doyle Crane, Pons Maar, Maurice Ramirez and Ginny Parsons who curated the exhibition.

K Gallery ~ Rising Seas: Where do we draw the line?

Today I had the great fortune of attending the opening exhibition of Rising Seas, at the K Gallery in the Rhythmix Culture Works located in Alameda. The theme explores the situation we find ourselves in at this time in history. There have been many civilizations that have come and gone; do we want to be another one of them?

Artistic Director and founder of Rhythmix Culture Works, Janet Koike, opened the festivities . . .

. . . which featured, Where do we draw the line? (which has nothing to do with the song of a similar name by the Dead Kennedys, although each paraphrases the other). It was a dance performed by the Rising Seas Project and choreographed by KT Nelson (former co-artistic director of ODC/Dance).

The beautiful, impressionist representation of waves sweeping back and forth expressed the dichotomy of the dancers (Our World?) being overwhelmed by them was a brilliant metaphor for our rapidly sinking world.

Midway through the performance the audience was invited to join in on the action . . .

Then there was the exhibition to see with the work of Josie Iselin, Jan Watten, Ed Holmes, Christo Braun, Deb Sullivan, Charlie Sullivan, Jen Doyle Crane, Pons Maar, Maurice Ramirez and Ginny Parsons who curated the exhibition (link to Rising Seas works below).

Gallery K: Alameda as Arcadia ~ The work of Ginny Parsons

Rhythmix Cultural Works and K Gallery present Alameda as Arcadia, an exhibition featuring the work of Alameda artist, Ginny Parsons who presents her view and reflections on the notion of Alameda as Arcadia.

The works of Parsons are wonderful and whimsical at times as witness her Hills & San Leandro Bay; a museum conservator's nightmare composed with Acrylic, borax, wood glue and peanut butter (not a typo) on canvas.
