Habitual Homesteaders
New work by Gina Tuzzi and Tyler Bewley
At the Compound Gallery
August 14th - September 19th, 2010
Reception: Saturday, August 14th 6-9pmAs a part of our exhibition programming BayVAN has launched the Nomadic Curatorial Program, curated exhibits that happen outside of the Branch Gallery walls. For our first exhibit we are proud to work with the acclaimed Compound Gallery in Oakland, CA.
Habitual Homesteaders explores the idea of home through the notions of mobility and adaptive ways of living. As in the past, modern day homesteaders are in search of new strategies to lay down roots and create environments conducive to life and growth. The two artists chosen for the exhibit approach ideas of travel and home from futurist, fanciful, nostalgic and pre-apocalyptic viewpoints.
Gina Tuzzi lives and works in Oakland, CA. She recently graduated with an MFA from Mills College and was a nominee for the 2010 SECA award.
Tyler Bewley received a degree from Skidmore College, his work has been exhibited widely and can be found on international magazine covers and local wine bottles. He is currently teaching art at Marin Academy High School.
