GCC HOMEPAGE

JUNE 6TH, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - (GLENDALE, CA)

SUMMER SHOW: CARLOS MOLLURA, CHRIS NICHOLS

The beginning of the summer suggests capriciousness and adventure. Never stronger is the desire for surprise or for pleasant irony. Colors are brightly illuminated by the sun, everything and everyone will very soon sit very still in intense heat.

For this show, Carlos Mollura will make a tri-colored, partially transparent, inflated-plastic sculpture which extends from one of the skylights of the gallery to the floor. It is inspired by Italian ice cream and by light and space.

Chris Nichols will exhibit somewhere between five and ten assemblages, sculptures made by combining three found objects - three or four sculptures will be exhibited at a time. The components of these sculptures have been unearthed by Nichols in uncountable walks around Eagle Rock over the period of a few years. These sculptures are intended to be looked at as much as analyzed. Nichols may swap or rearrange his sculptures as the weeks progress.

Both artists live within 5 miles of the college.

There will be small benches in the gallery, hopefully people will sit down and spend some time in here. We are very well air conditioned.

This show is on view from June 16th - August 10th, 2007, and a reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, June 16th, 2007 from 4-7pm. Admittance to the gallery is free and all are welcome to the opening reception.
