Random Encounters, is an exhibition of work from the Collage Underground showing at the Sanchez Art Center from July 8 - Aug 7. Collage Underground are made up of nine artists who came together randomly via a class on deconstructing collage taught by Peter Foley. The artists, all women, bonded over a shared vision of honoring abandoned and discarded materials of humble origin, weathered by time or circumstance, and exploring the way these materials interact and intersect with one another. Their appreciation of collage as a medium calls them to see meaning and mystery in the shape, form, texture, and patina of these materials, their work creates narratives that elevate the raw materials from the ordinary to works of art. Join the artists for an Artists' Talk on Saturday, July 16, 2:00- 4:00pm and for a Closing Party on Sunday, Aug 7 1:30-3:30pm. Showing concurrently is an exhibition by artist Maria Porges titled F(r)iction, in the Main Gallery and the Art Guild of Pacifica with Sign of the Times in the West Wing Gallery. All exhibits are free to the public.
