PATRICIA SWEETOW GALLERY is pleased to present Kim Anno, Professor & Chair of Painting and Drawing at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, in Liquescent, an exhibition of new paintings. We are also honored to debut Gail Wight, Associate Professor of Art at Stanford University in her first exhibition at the gallery. Gail Wight presents Intertidal Zone, an installation with object and video. Exhibition dates are September 10 through October 17, 2009. Two illustrated catalogs accompany the exhibitions. Liquescent, Kim Anno's third exhibition at PSG, includes 10 paintings. The paintings kindle thoughts of Arctic ice flows under an illuminated northern polar light. Her paintings capture the serene beauty of an extraordinary moment, albeit one threatened by environmental degradation. Gail Wight's installation of Center of Gravity, her video Hydraphilia, and the pinned butterflies Papillons Noirs share the common theme -- art and science, or should I say the parody of science through art. Gail Wight, Associate Professor of Art at Stanford University, began her interest in science as a child, evolving toward a path of artistic inquiry in scientific parlance.
