Reception

February 28, 2016 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Gideon Rubin, Sofa, 2015, Oil on linen, 12 x 14 inches. Courtesy of the Artist and Hosfelt Gallery.

The work exhibited at the ICA is the result of two residencies – one in Israel and one in China – where Rubin worked on pages taken from local newspapers and popular magazines, painting over some photographs and leaving other untouched. Through this work, Rubin presents a challenge to the viewer – an invitation to view with doubt and uncertainty the presumed objectivity of photography and the media. 

Gideon Rubin will be in attendance and will sign books at the reception 2-3pm. Rubin's book will be available for purchase at the ICA. Free and open to the public.

Gideon Rubin Talk Tuesday, February 23 5pm-6pm at San Jose State University, Art Department, Room 133
