Excavating Layers South Gallery Richmond Art Center March 23 to June 1, 2013 Reception: Saturday, March 23, 2-4pm Excavating Layers is comprised of mixed-media artwork which illustrates how artists excavate new and historic images and materials to reveal particular tensions between figuration and abstraction and create new layers of visual and conceptual meanings. These layers signify the multiple systems that one experiences every day- home, community, society, nature, history, the world at large and one’s place within order and chaos. Artists included are Tony Berlant, Shenny Phillips Cruces, Brian Dittmer, Monika Lin, Brian Ruttenberg, Robert Sagerman, and Dana Hart Stone. Richmond Art Center 2540 Barrett Ave Richmond, CA 94804
