On the Precipice Tower by Charlie Milgrim
Opening: May 6, 6-9pm in conjunction with Oakland Art Murmur Charlie Milgrim's work in sculpture, installation and drawing embodies the interplay of art, science, and fate. Using materials that would otherwise become landfill, Milgrim re-contextualizes them to function as conceptual reminders of delicately balanced or potentially destructive forces both natural and political. In her latest solo show, On the Precipice, Milgrim takes on the weight of the very precariously balanced world. The artist will present large drawings and a site specific installation. Charlie Milgrim was born in New York City. She received a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA from UC Berkeley. She has exhibited her work at the Oakland Museum, the Haines Gallery in San Francisco, Works Gallery in San Jose, and has work in many private collections including the Di Rosa Collection in Napa, CA. Her studio is in Berkeley, next to the railroad tracks. Gallery hours: Thursday-Saturday 12-6
