Far Far Near Billy Joe Miller, Sea Light, 2010
My desire to see the light, my desire to be pure Underground I visualize sighing ocean dream Returnal - You've never left, you've been here the whole time -Returnal, Oneohtrix Point Never FAR FAR NEAR new work by: Lauren Douglas, Billy Joe Miller, and Christopher West Opening reception: Saturday, January 14, 7-10pm Curated by James Sterling Pitt Adobe Books Backroom Gallery is pleased to present FAR FAR NEAR, a group exhibition featuring the work of Lauren Douglas, Billy Joe Miller, and Christopher West. The exhibition concept centers on memory, its dissolution and recollection, viewed through an autobiographical lens. Curator James Sterling Pitt initiated conversations with the three artists around such diverse images and events as a disintegrating beach house, a mother whale stranded in the Klamath River, and a World Series baseball game interrupted by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The resulting mixed-media exhibition expands on such universal ideas as nostalgia, family ties, and attempts to fix a fleeting moment in time. The opening reception will feature special musical sets by three Bay Area bands: Upside Drown, fieldguide, and Danny Paul Grody. On Thursday, February 3rd, the Backroom Gallery will host a special event to accompany the exhibition including a special performance by Coconut and other guests TBA. Follow this space for more info.
