DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition of work by Greg Cassin, on display through July.\n\nA 
 Gallery Walk is scheduled for Saturday, April 26th, 1-6pm. For details, 
 visit www.yerbabuena.org.\n\nGreg Cassin, self-taught artist and painter, 
 lives in San Francisco.  His sexuality, HIV status, Catholic roots, anger, 
 and hope all greatly influence his creative process.  "Creating art for me 
 is about talking/taking back..."\n\nTeetering on the edge of blurry 
 uncertainty and familiarity, the juxtaposed images in Greg Cassin's mixed 
 media paintings create a visual dialogue around issues of personal history, 
 collective memory, and stylized iconography. Lost and Found offers 
 possibilities for "spiritual reclaimation" and peace in an otherwise 
 war-torn, destructive and commodified world. Simultaneously his works 
 challenge the viewer's popular notions of cultural discontinuity between 
 the past and present.\n\nThrough the layering of found photographs, cast 
 off materials, and ephemera such as illustrations from 19th C. first aid 
 manuals, board games, and advertisements, Cassin's visual collages reveal 
 the complexities between representation, sustainable knowledge,and that 
 which has been culturally discarded. Insects, flowers, butterflies and 
 other natural science specimen are combind with religious icons that fold 
 into WWII letters and turn of the century sheet music, creating a 
 mesmorizing tension between image and text.\n\nThis exhibition was curated 
 by Dustin Smith and Sallyann English of Visual Aid's X-team.\n\n
