DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: August 23 – October 5, 2014\nOpening Reception: 
 Saturday, August 23, 5-8 PM\n\nBerkeley Art Center is thrilled to present 
 Make Space, a group exhibition featuring new and existing work by, Randy 
 Dixon, Nancy Ivanhoe, Tressa Pack, Erik Parra, Dimitra Skandali. This show 
 challenges artists to re-contextualize their art practice within the walls 
 of the Berkeley Art Center; an art space like no other in the Bay Area. 
 \n\nDuring a time of dramatic economic and cultural shifts in the Bay Area, 
 art spaces are closing, moving and utterly transforming in order to adapt 
 to the changing financial and social changes of the region. However the 
 Berkeley Art Center is a site fixed within Live Oak Park in North Berkeley. 
 What relationship does the site of the Center, situated in a beautiful city 
 park, have to the artwork within it? How can we consider what this art 
 space means and how it functions within the great arts community? \n\nRandy 
 Dixon’s sculptures of unrealized and unrealizable houses and buildings 
 use the language of architecture to lure us into considering how the space 
 around us is constructed. Dimitra Skandali and Nancy Ivanhoe, in addition 
 to showing their own singular sculptures and installations, will be 
 collaborating on a series of line drawings, drawn directly onto the walls, 
 grounds and floors of BAC, that will follow the lines and shadows created 
 by the trees in Live Oak Park beginning at the front entrance of the 
 building and moving throughout the gallery and out to the sculpture garden. 
 Tressa Pack’s photographs of photography equipment set up to light and 
 frame an empty space creates an eerie value system for the 
 ‘spacelessness’ filling up the rest of her compositions. Erik Parra 
 will show new paintings of landscape and domestic interiors situated inside 
 an installation of a room that could easily exist inside his 
 paintings.\n\nBAC executive director, Aimee Le Duc notes, “The artists in 
 Make Space are confronting architecture as both subject and object. They 
 will incorporate Berkeley Art Center into their installations and work – 
 including both the interior and exterior spaces of the gallery. The 
 exhibition is an experiment to test how physical space informs art 
 practice.”\n\nConversation with Christian Frock and Megan 
 Wilson\nSaturday, September 20, 4-6 PM\nChristian Frock and Megan Wilson 
 will come together to talk about the recent and rapid changes happening in 
 the Bay Area’s cultural community and how it is effecting housing, work 
 spaces and art making as a whole. Moderated by Aimee Le Duc\nChristian L. 
 Frock is an independent writer and curator based in the Bay Area. Frock's 
 practice interrogates the intersection of art, daily life and popular 
 culture through a consideration of art in public spaces. Invisible Venue, 
 the curatorial enterprise founded and directed by Frock since 2005, 
 collaborates with artists to present art in unexpected settings. Megan 
 Wilson is a visual artist based out of San Francisco. Wilson’s 
 large-scale installations and public projects utilize a broad range of pop 
 culture methodologies and aesthetics as a point of entry and engagement for 
 the issues she addresses conceptually. \n\n
