DESCRIPTION:Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi Hosts Art Opening\nFeaturing the work of Alika 
 Cooper, Sacha Eckes, and Rachell Sumpter\n\nOn Friday, September 15, 2006, 
 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi hosts the Monthly Third Friday’s Art Reception 
 in his City Hall office, Room 282. This month’s featured artists are 
 Alika Cooper, Sacha Eckes, and Rachell Sumpter\nIn this show titled “It 
 won’t hurt,” these artists explore the ironies inherent in our society, 
 reflect the social truths of the past and present, and explore themes such 
 as our social roles and expectations. Their art serves as a social 
 commentary by capturing our desire for a sense of belonging and home, and 
 by recording our attempt to navigate uneasy relationships and even our 
 isolation. The show will include works in gouache, acrylic, and watercolor 
 on paper and panel, and ink on paper.\n\nAlika Cooper received her MFA at 
 the California College of Arts in San Francisco, and has shown in the Bay 
 Area at Low Gallery, JFKU Arts and Consciousness Gallery, the Richmond Art 
 Center, Varnish, 111 Minna, the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, 
 Magic Theatre, Receiver and Lobot. She is represented by Lightbox Gallery 
 in Los Angeles, and recently exhibited at the Scope Hamptons Art Fair in 
 New York, the California College of the Arts MFA Show, and the Front Room 
 Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. See her work at 
 www.alikacooper.com\n\nBelgian-born Sacha Eckes studied printmaking at the 
 St Lucas Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Gent. She has exhibited at 
 numerous San Francisco galleries including The Lab, 111 Minna Gallery, 
 National Product, Needles and Pens, Low Gallery and The Adobe Back Room 
 Gallery. Her work is currently heavily influenced by politics, zombies, 
 heart break and bits and pieces of paper. See her work at 
 www.sachaeckes.com\n\nRachell Sumpter has held exhibitions in Portland, 
 Bristol (United Kingdom), New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, the Urban 
 Institute of Contemporary Arts in Michigan, and Los Angeles including a 
 group installation projects at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. See
